Maternity Photography for Expecting Couples & Parents to Be

Hi, friends! Welcome to my blog! The topic you'll be seeing today is all about introducing a spectacular couple to you named Michelle and Jeff! They're my newest maternity + baby plan clients. I'm also excited to tell information about this package. It's my most popular option for couples who are expecting their own bundle of joy. 

The Maternity + Baby Plan Collection is a portraiture membership to Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. There are a $350 savings for clients who secure this membership. This collection gives you priority on the calendar and ensures you'll have the best rates available to you. This membership includes the following:

• Natural light, on location maternity session

• Custom designed in studio newborn session

• 7-month sitter session in the studio

• 12-month cake smash + bubble bath session in the studio

“Sarah was an absolute sweetheart to work with! Being 30 weeks pregnant, I was not feeling the hottest, but she made me feel beautiful and relaxed the whole time. We took our photos at one of the parks during sunset and thank goodness, she brought bug spray with her because I was getting eaten alive. The maternity shoot came out beautifully and I’m super excited for the newborn session now. Thanks, Sarah!”

— Michelle

For my time with this sweet couple, we scheduled their session around their baby shower. It's great to have your pregnancy photos taken so they may be displayed at the baby shower so your family and friends can see how magnificent and radiant your adorable baby bump is!

For clients who book a session with me, I do my best to ensure you have wardrobe advice for your session. For example, I've created a curated list of my favorite maternity photo-shoot gowns that are available on Amazon and under $40. The gown Mom is wearing is option number 2. :-) 

I also have an awesome hair and makeup artist recommendation for you, too!

You will look and feel your best, which makes for amazing photos! Part of being one of the best Houston newborn and maternity photographers is offering a fantastic experience from start to finish. 

Here are some of my favorite images from our session together! They are expecting a little girl this summer so stay tuned to see a follow up on their newborn session! They may be having their first human baby, but their fur babies named Oatmeal & Boba totally stole the show during our session, ha! The dogs were simply so sweet I could not stop gushing over them. They added such a fun dynamic to the portraits.

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, shares the best gowns you can find on Amazon that are affordable, stylish, and will perfectly enhance your maternity session. 

Greetings, friends! If you're booking a session, this may be your first baby, and you're unsure what to wear to the session or how to style yourself. Selecting outfits for a pregnancy photoshoot can be a little daunting; you're not a professional photographer, and you're unsure what photographs well. 

Have no fear! I am an experienced Mama! I love working with you and helping you find the perfect gown in a style that flatters you, matches the type of decor you have in your home, and also showcases your radiant baby bump.

First and foremost: congratulations on your precious baby! Pregnancy is an exciting time full of joy, anticipation, and; hopefully, a stunning yet dynamic photography session preserving this incredibly special time in your life. Welcome to motherhood!

This list is curated to include various styles, fabrics, and textures. I also considered different types of fit and how some mothers may prefer more coverage. Moreover, the gowns I am previewing had many colors from which to select. This is helpful for different skin tones, too.

Fun fact: You can often use the maternity gown as an option for your baby shower or even your newborn session since the material is often flowy and stretchy.

Stunning Mother to be in a maternity gown:

A few days ago, I had the honor of working with a very sweet couple (who will have their own dedicated blog post soon since Mom had two awesome dresses for their session, ha!). From the moment Mom e-mailed me, I knew she was a perfect client and I could not wait to work with them! They're expecting a precious baby boy soon; at 35 weeks along, her baby bump is absolutely perfect and she is full of radiance, vibrancy, and truly a beautiful spirit! 

I am hoping to talk them into bringing their fur babies to the studio for the newborn session, so cross your fingers, ha! 

The pregnancy gowns are a great option for your session because they're feminine, soft, flowy, and add a delicate aspect to your photos. They're also designed to showcase the bump, too, so you know the final outcome will feature your little one. 

As always, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! I know you're probably a busy mama, so it means a lot you took time out of your day to stop by my creative corner of the earth. :-) If you enjoyed perusing gorgeous gowns for maternity sessions, you may like reading handy dandy information on the following topics:

Newborn Inspiration through Nursery Colors + Sneak of a 9 LB Squish

Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, located in Houston, specializes in the custom newborn photography portraiture. All props and designs are provided in studio with your baby's nursery being the main source of inspiration.

Howdy, friends! Thanks for visiting! Today's blog post is all about the main source of inspiration for your sweet baby's newborn session: your nursery. Furthermore, handsome Baby Boy Kaeden's sneak preview is the perfect example of how I take your nursery color scheme & create a completely customized session for you complete with beautiful bean bag posing, interesting and unique floor props, stunning macro images, as well as a full resolution digital gallery to treasure. Let's get started!

Nursery colors are a great starting point because it tells me a little about your personality, what you like and dislike, and also helps ensure the photos will look amazing when they're hung on the walls. After all: images belong on the walls and not just the hard drive, ha!

Kaeden's Sneak Preview | 9 pounds of squishy goodness

Baby boy visited my Houston Newborn Photography Studio when he was 8 days fresh and new; his parents are truly the most lovely folks and have been clients for years! I always adore seeing them because they're so laid back, kind, and have a wonderful spirit to them. It's fun to meet like minded parents, too! Big sister, Natalie, was one of my earlier newborns I photographed too so it was super fun to catch up with this sweet family!

Nursery colors: teals, navy & grey

When designing his session, I pulled inspiration from his nursery. I did, however, add a soft neutral cream to his session to add as an accent color. Plus, a neutral is very timeless and organic. Hearing his nursery colors, however, put a huge smile on my face because I absolutely adore using color! Nevertheless, neutrals like grey, tan and cream or even ivory are lovely, too, and I like those colors as well. Each session is a chance to show your creativity and unique aspects as a newborn photographer.
