Posed Newborn Session Featuring Both Parents | Baby Boy Laksh

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers timeless, fresh and gorgeous newborn portraits. All collections come with family photos that reflect natural, authentic and candid posing as you welcome baby into your family.

Here's what this couple had to say about their photography experience with Sarah:

Sarah's quality of work and professionalism speaks for itself. Very satisfied and highly recommend her expertise in new born photography.

Baby Boy Laksh | 7 days new & 6 pounds of newborn goodness

Good morning to you, friends! Today's blog post is full of so much sweetness my heart could probably burst. I'd like to begin by welcoming you to my little 'ol blog. Here is where I showcase precious, squishy babies, radiant baby bumps and adorable families. My studio is where most of my sessions take place, since I specialize in newborn portraiture, however, I do offer on location, natural light sessions, too! I like to think it's the best of both worlds. 

This adorable family contacted me to book their newborn collection when baby was just a few days old. I was happy to offer them three dates. While most parents book in the second trimester, I sometimes have last minute openings and welcome all inquiries even if baby is already earth side. Newborn sessions do take place in the first two weeks of life, give or take a few days, and so it's important to contact me as early as possible.

Baby Boy Laksh was 6 pounds when he visited my studio. He slept beautifully for me and his parents did a fantastic job prepping him! Mom is absolutely gorgeous and motherhood looks amazing on her! 

When working with you, I like to think of your baby as the focal point. I always wrap your little one for family portraits, which take place right at the beginning of your session. I have taken workshops on both newborn safety and posing to ensure baby is well cared for during our session. I also use professional lighting and camera gear so you're sure to have the very best.

Most portraits are shot elbow up to ensure baby is the focus of your image. I give plenty of direction and pose baby so you feel secure. I also make sure I do not walk away until you have baby snuggled in your arms. 

Most of your photos are lifestyle in nature, meaning they're more about iterating together as a family, however, I often include 1-2 images where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera because grandparents like this set up. It's nice to gift some prints to your parents, too! 

The rest of these images are my favorites from his parent portion of his session.

I hope you enjoy viewing. Wishing you and your sweet family all my joy and warmth today!

3 Adorable Ways to Wrap a Newborn Baby for Portraits | Zoya

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers stylish and unique newborn photography through the use of adorable, cozy wrapping. 

Welcome to the world, Zoya. 17 days new & breathtaking!

Good morning, friends! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend filled with fun, family and friends. That's never a bad way to spend your leisure! Today, however, I'm ready to work and am excited to share details about the wrapping that's oh so special to me. It's a cornerstone of my newborn portraiture work and I like to tell parents what they may expect. Before we get started, I invite you to take a little look at my Houston Newborn Portrait Studio. It's located near Barker Cypress/290 with easy access to all major highways such as the Northwest Freeway, i-99, and i-10. 

Style Number One: Potato Wrap

The first style of cozy newborn wrapping I implement with each and every session is called the potato wrap. This wrap is absolutely precious because baby is snug and sleeps wonderfully here. I spend about 10 minutes perfecting the wrap. Parents always marvel at how round baby is and looks like a little potato, ha! I always style baby with a custom headband, such as below, or an adorable hand knitted bonnet. These small pieces add a classic touch to your session without deterring from your portraits. Baby should always be the star. I like for their hands to show, too, since you spend about 9 months growing baby, ha! I also use a flokati rug with each session. They add much texture and variety to our time together. I have many different color options in studio.

Style Number Two: Straight jacket 

The second wrapping style I implement is called straight jacket. While the name is a little bit serious, this simply means baby is wrapped with their arms close to their chest. This emulates the environment found in the womb. I typically pose baby on their back here so you may see the legs, face, sweet little fingers, and the light provides dynamic contours to their features. Part of what makes your session unique is the lighting, too. Aside from adorable wrapping, the light is dynamic and showcases baby in a stunning way. 

All Tucked In

The "tucked in" pose is a major part of my wrapping workflow, too. Baby is already wrapped so perfectly, so this pose is a fun way to add another scene to your gallery. Babies love this because they feel safe; I make sure I pose them very carefully and always practice newborn safety techniques that I have learned through workshops and mentoring.

Vintage & Rustic Inspire Floor Prop {My Favorite Bucket}

All of my prop shots, such as below, are built off of the wrapping. They're included in each and every single session, too. It's very important to me I be consistent in all that I do, so I follow the same flow for all of my collections. This also makes sure I stay on time and am able to work efficiently. When styling your prop shots, I like the tone to be organic, rustic and timeless. As always, baby should be the focus. 

Style Number Three: Tootsie Wrap

Style number three is called tootsie wrap and, as I'm sure you may guess, this is because your baby's precious little toes are poking out. This is typically a favorite among new parents and they will ask what part of the session it will be showcased. This is always my third set up. I use a second floor props here. Like your first floor prop, it is usually an antique piece of something that's classic. The more simple your session is, the more timeless the final result will be. This session will forever preserve this incredibly special time in your life. I have three little ones myself, and am expecting number 4 later this year, so I can attest how much you'll love your custom portraits. Your baby deserves attention to detail.

Precious Macro Details

While not a specific wrap, macro images always take place at some point during the wrapping process. Different wrapping styles lend for different macro images. Sometimes parents ask me, "What are macro shots?" This is because they may not be familiar with the term. Macro images take place throughout your session; these are the up close details such as lips, eyelashes, toes, hairlines, hands, their nose, etc. These are also the characteristics of your baby that are completely unique to their own little person. You spent months envisioning their sweet little face and these macro images will freeze time. This period is fleeting; the newborn time frame is generally 3 weeks or less. Before you know it, baby will be a tumbling, tyrannical toddler full of adventure and wonder. You will fondly remember these details. I am honored to capture these for you. Working with your baby is the utmost privilege and everyday, when I enter my studio, I feel such happiness knowing this is my job.
