Kate’s Vintage & Organic Cake Smash | Cypress TX Child Portraits

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers an organic and vintage inspired baby plan membership to newborn clients. Kate's simple cake smash is a fun way to celebrate turning one.

Here's what Kate's Mama Had to say about her portraiture experience with Sarah:

“Sarah truly loves her work and it shines through the photos she takes and extends through to her customer service. I found her on Facebook four months before my daughter was born and she allowed me to come out and meet her in person and discuss the colors and props for my baby’s newborn photo shoot. The day of the shoot she worked her magic and hit the mark for what I had envisioned. It has been a year since the newborn shoot and we just completed the one year photos, they are gorgeous!”

Howdy, friends! Happy Friday, or Fri-yay, as we like to call it in my house, ha! I hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoying the cooler weather we're having. Well, at least for Houston. Today's blog post is going to share a little bit of information about my popular baby plan membership. I'll also showcase some exciting details about the styling behind cake smash and children's one year birthday sessions.

To begin, cake smash or baby milestone sessions are available to newborn clients only. Because I specialize in Houston Newborn Photography, these sessions are really fun for returning clients and a membership to my portraiture services is a wonderful way to document the first year of life since it's a consistent style, editing, wall art, and also someone who has developed a relationship with your kiddo. The membership is very flexible. Parents have the option of doing 3, 6, 9 or 12 months; they may also do any combination of the milestone. The most popular, nonetheless, is 6 and 12 months since this is when most of the changes occur.

Since my newborn style is timeless, fresh, simple and vintage inspired so are my  child milestone sessions. Gone are distracting props; instead, I focus on a few classic pieces so baby is the star. My studio is all white and looks classic. I have a bed, couch, and some cute items like a antique high chair and rocking horse for little ones to use. I also have a plethora of adorable headbands and accessories for your kiddos. Wardrobe is not included but I have a great list of vendors for you to consider. :-) 

Here are some of my favorite images from my time with baby girl Kate. I hope you enjoy viewing and perhaps are interested in your own baby plan. :-) Have a great weekend, y'all!

Sweet & Simple Neutral Inspired Photos | Houston TX

Sweet, classic and simplistic newborn portraits by Houston TX Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink.

Here's what J's mama had to say about her newborn experience:

Sarah did an amazing job photographing our sweet little boy! She listened to what I had in mind and implemented it beautifully; I couldn't be happier with the final product!! I highly recommend you to consider Sarah to capture your newborn photo session, she will not disappoint.

Greetings and good morning to you! I'm thrilled you're here at my blog. Please allow me to introduce a charming baby boy who recently visited my studio. J came to see me when he was around 9 days old. He slept beautifully for me and I could not help but be in awe of how precious his sweet little face is. When booking, his mama requested I style the session so it is timeless, classic, simple and sweet. This in mind, I kept the color scheme very neutral and pulled inspiration from all things soft and organic, such as white, cream and a little bit of grey. I even added a muted baby blue and very light brown with tan textures in order to add a tiny bit of pop to the portraits. 

During my time with J, he loved to be wrapped. This makes baby feel safe, secure and helps them sleep during the posing. My studio is also kept at 77 degrees or so. This mimicks the environbemnt of the womb. A full belly, lots of white noise and a warm room are the key to an adorable newborn session.

Those little toes, fingers and his nose - so small yet perfect.

Don't you think the blue looks lovely on him? This hand knitted bonnet is made by one of my favorite vendors in Italy. She has precious creations that are perfect for your sessions. I adore using her props and designs.

And of course, here are my favorite family images. All collections do include family, parent and sibling images if you'd like to do so. J is the first little one so sibling was not applicable though we did focus on images of dad with baby, mom with baby, and of course this beautiful couple together. While getting in front of the camera may feel a little intimidating, please know I am here to guide you with outfit advice, plenty of positive praise during our posing and of course I make sure you feel comfortable being we begin the photo process.

D Family | Timeless Baby Portraiture Houston

Houston Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers Fresh, Pure and Authentic Newborn Photography. Fully inclusive digital collections + heirloom prints & products.

Greetings and good morning, friends! Thanks for visiting my blog. You see, the little 'ol blog is where many gorgeous babies grace my page as I showcase the highlights from their posed newborn sessions. However, I also preview a few baby bumps or family sessions here and there, too, to make sure things stay interesting, haha! However, today you're in luck: one of my super awesome baby plan membership clients are on the blog.

At this point, you may be scratching your head and thinking, "What's a baby plan membership?" A baby plan membership is simple: it's a package catering to clients seeking maternity, newborn and first year of life portraits of these incredibly special milestones in their lives. This includes celebrating your radiant baby bump, bringing home a new baby and also documenting the super awesome milestones such as baby sitting up and then of course their one year portraits.  In fact, you may remember this adorable couple from their outdoor maternity session, which took place in February. 

Today, I am honored to share my favorite images from K's studio newborn session. Her sweet parents brought her to my all white, organic space when she was 9 days new. She weighed just under 6 pounds and was so petite, dainty and curly! For my time with her, mama requested a feminine color scheme such as soft pinks, creams and a plethora of rose hues. While I do pull inspiration from your colors, I sometimes add my own twist, so later on we also used a hunter green. Green, you see, is my absolute favorite color to use with little girls, so keep on scrolling to see how gorgeous the sage also looked against her skin. :-) 

At this point, you also may be wondering, "So, what comes in a newborn session?" As you can see, we do a large variety with each baby. Aside from family/parent images, which take place first, I utilize many styles of wrapping to show off the curly, brand new nature of a little baby. Followed by this, I typically do 2 floors props, such as a rustic crate or an antique bucket. Then, after these set ups, we'll move into the naked posing with all the sweet, squishy poses. I do each and every session with the same flow so we may ensure your session reflects what you see in my portfolio. Consistency is of the utmost importance! Please note, however, I do offer a mini wrapped collection, petite or full posed, so the mini wrapped session does include wrapped shots and none of the naked images, but this is designed for parents who are seeking more modest newborn portraits, ha!

One aspect of newborn photography I truly enjoy is providing everything for your session. This ensures your images are timeless, classic and unique, so I will style baby to reflect custom set ups. This includes gorgeous headbands or tiebacks, organic textiles, professional lighting and of course post processing of your high resolution retouched digital files. 

Thanks for stopping by! I am always happy to have you here! If you're currently pregnant, please know I am booking August - November due dates. It's never too early to book your session since newborn portraits take place when your baby is 14 days new or less; my preference, nonetheless, is 4-10 days old. Newborns do have top priority on my calendar, so feel free to connect if you have any questions. I would love to work with you!
