Muted Mauve For a Perfectly Petite Princess | Meet Rory

Sarah Borchgrevink Photography is a Houston Newborn Photographer specializing in custom posed studio sessions for your precious cherub baby.

Welcome To The World Sweet Rory

Hi, there! Welcome to my blog! I'm so excited you've found your way here. Chances are you may be interested in seeing a super sweet baby girl session. You're in luck - I have all the newborn cuteness you need! 

Rory Grace and her family visited my Houston Newborn Portrait Studio when she was 9 days fresh and new. Posed newborn sessions do take place when baby is 14 days or newer; I do, however, make exceptions and will sometimes take them up to 18 days if needed. Rory weighed just over 6 pounds at birth. She has a head full of soft blond hair, a fair complexion, and full cherub lips. What a little beauty! She visited for a full newborn collection so this post will show the highlights from my time with her.

Her parents visited from lovely Spring, TX - just north of Houston. My studio is convienetly located so thanks to the 99 toll road, clients from The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, Conroe, Montgomery or any suburb in the Northern Houston areas are able to quickly travel to me, typically in about half an hour.

When booking a posed newborn session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, your sessions are custom designed. Often, parents are unsure what that means. It's simple,  promise! Everything is provided for your session. Each bow, tie back, fabric, wrap, head band, bonnet, hat, crate, bowl, box, etc - you have full access to all props. I style each and every session around a few colors you may like, but also pull inspiration from the colors that I most enjoy using. I am consistently adding new items to my prop stash and coming up with new combinations. That's where the custom aspect comes into play: new combinations, new set ups, and creative and unique wrapping allows me to showcase the beauty of your newborn baby.

Here's what Rory Grace's parents relayed about their experience at Sarah's studio:

We found Sarah by searching through Instagram. Immediately I feel in love & knew it would be an investment well spent. As soon as we showed up she made us feel at home & her set up was so personal & professional. She was so welcoming & got to know us which meant a lot. I have never seen anyone handle a baby like she did. We kept giggling b/c we were in awe over her & our baby! If only we could put Sarah in our pocket and carry her around with us at all times it would help the first time parents out quite a bit lol! Our prints turned out amazing, she got them to us sooner than expected & overall the experience was phenomenal. HIGHLY recommend.

This set up is especially sweet because it's a soft mint and safe green. This is one of my favorite colors for newborn girls - it's timeless, classic and also adds a pop of color to your walls. This wooden crate is one of my favorites, too, because it's rustic and adds character to your portraits. The vintage quilt is a great find I found at an antique store; it needed a bit of cleaning up, but afterwards it's been a beautiful addition to my studio. I also like using this quilt in my outdoor, natural light family sessions, so you may have seen this exact quilt on my blog before, ha! 

After all three floor props, we move to bean bag posing. These poses are super sweet, curly, and show off the womb like nature of a new baby who is fresh and recently earth side. These types of poses are included in my petite and full newborn collections; the wrapped mini, however, is for parents seeking a smaller number of more modest images, so keep that in mind when booking. The full newborn collection comes with 5 poses, however. You may also be interested in reading more about my favorite posing and how I utilize newborn safety during our time together. 

For the naked posing, I used a muted mauve. Mom specifically requested pink; while pink is not always my favorite color since it's used by virtually everyone, it can be styled in more unique aspects such as the hue you use, the type of wrap you use to add a layering piece, the tie back or bonnet, and of course the texture of the drop. I like this drop, shown below, because it's not 100 percent smooth; there are little checkers which are so cute; they add the most adorable nurance to the photos!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a great Thursday and upcoming weekend! Wishing you all my joy and warmth today.

This Week In Studio | Sweet Older Siblings & Baby Sister

Specializing in simple, classic and fresh Houston Newborn Photography, Sarah Borchgrevink offers fully inclusive portrait collections, such as sibling images during your session.

Newborn Girl Kelleigh & her sweet older siblings

Greetings! Howdy to you! I'm thrilled you're here on my blog and are interested in reading more information about newborn information at my studio. To begin: welcome! Today's blog post features a sweet cherub named Kelleigh. Mom originally contacted me in the second trimester and booked a petite posed newborn collection for her daughter. This collection does including sibling images as well as family portraits, too. In this particular case, Mom and Dad requested we focus on siblings only and replace parent posing with photos of their little ones. I am happy to be flexible, so for this session, siblings were the star during family.

When baby is born, this is when we chat about the colors you'd like to see in your session. Mom requested a set up to match pink, white, cream and gold since she had special outfits ordered for the sisters. So, for our sibling time together, I pulled a favorite cream flokati rug and used my rustic wood floors. My newborn studio is full of wonderful items you're sure to love! When booking a posed newborn collection, you have full access to my props. If you're interested in reading more about vintage inspired newborn design, feel free to do so. On a fun note, that post will show you more of Kelleigh's posed portion

Here's what Mom had to say about her portraiture experience with Sarah:

We chose Sarah to do the newborn and sibling photos when we added our 5th child. Our children photographed were 7, 4, 2, and newborn. Our 2 year old decided she would not be cooperative during the session, but Sarah was extremely patient while we tried to get our toddler to participate. She was flexible during the whole session and because of that we ended up with beautiful sibling photos.

The newborn session was great. You could tell that Sarah was very experienced with newborns. I LOVED the rich jewel tones colors that Sarah chose for the session. I'm ecstatic with the results and look forward to having these captured moments displayed in my home.

For the sibling portion, we focused on a group image, image of the girls, and then one image of each child with their little sister. I like the sessions to be simple, laid back, and pressure free for parents. Your sibling photos take place at the beginning of your newborn session. You arrive, feed baby, I wrap her one of the many cozy styles I utilize, and then we begin working with the children. I have everything set up and designed in advance so things run smoothly. I completely understand it's a lot of work to get everyone ready for photos. I have three little girls myself (and am having a boy this December!) so it's important you not feel rushed or stressed out at my studio.

Baby Makes Three | Pure & Natural Studio Newborn Family Session

Located in Houston, Sarah's studio is the perfect place for sweet, simple and darling family photos with your newborn!

A tender love you never knew ~ welcome baby girl

Howdy! Good morning to you, friends. Today's blog post focuses on a sweet, darling, and simple studio family newborn session in which all things soft and tender are documented. Chances are if you've found your way to my blog, you may be expecting or are looking around for newborn photographers. I invite you to peruse my website! Cozy up and grab your favorite mug of herbal tea - there's so much cuteness coming your way!

Bringing your precious baby home from the birthing center or hospital is one of the most momentous moments in your life! It's a whirlwind of excitement, a little apprehension, but mostly unconditional, tender love. You're now a family of three. When the dust settles, you make your way to my studio and we capture all that is stunning, fresh and beautiful about your darling family. Breathe in baby's scent. Hold her close. Remember the feelings of her kicking, and the pure joy in seeing hearing her heartbeat. At this time, all baby knows is the sound of your voice and it comforts her. I am honored you've chosen me to document your baby and truly love this portion of our newborn session. All collections do come with family posing because this fleeting time deserves to be documented. Welcome to parenthood! It's a wonderful place to be!

This sweet couple visited my Houston Newborn Studio when baby girl was just around 7 days old. They came all the way from Southwest Houston, but were in great spirits when they arrived. Baby girl is named Audrina and she is simply marvelous! As soon as Mom took her out of the car seat, I could not wait to hold and snuggle her. Her sweet, chubby cheeks and gorgeous full head of dark, thick hair had me swooning! I truly felt like the luckiest gal in the whole world to have this baby in my studio!

In order to achieve unique, creative and breathtaking newborn portraiture, I use a plethora of cozy wrapping styles to ensure your photos are dynamic. Wrapping is a huge cornerstone to all of my newborn sessions. While wrapping may sound a little boring, I urge you to check out more information on adorable styles of newborn wrapping so you may see how stunning it looks! So cozy, sweet, natural, and organic - the perfect way to showcase you darling bundle of joy. This in mind, after baby was fed and burped, I wrapped her in the cute style in which her little legs are out and her hands are delicately posed beneath her chin. 

During our time together, expect your parent and family posing to be connected and lifestyle in nature. To elaborate, while I do a set up of you looking at the camera and smiling, it truly makes my heart so full to see you interacting with your precious cherub and partner. As a mama to three little ladies, I truly treasure the images that focus on depth, interactions and emotions. This can be gazing at your baby, smiling at your wife, holding your husband close, or just being together as a family. As a Houston Newborn Photographer, one of which specializes in gorgeous baby portraits, it a complete honor to work with you. My job is to ensure you're at ease and have plenty of direction to guide you throughout the process.

One of my favorite father and newborn photography poses in where dad's hands are placed gently upon baby's chest. Baby is snuggled so sweetly against him. This is the only time in life where your baby is so small, so new to the world, that they fit in the palm of your hands. Soak up that newborn goodness, tell time to slow down, and just treasure these precious family portraits with your brand new baby. 

Back-lit studio family photos are absolutely a huge favorite of mine! This is where the light is behind the subject and illuminates you. There's a soft halo of gorgeous light and baby's precious profile is always exemplified. I always jokingly call this pose "lion king" because we've all seen the famous scene in which Simba is held up into the sky, ha! However, have no fear: baby is always secure between his parents. 

When posing Mom and Newborn Baby together, I love there to be a sense of peace. Serenity should surround the portrait; a sense of timeless beauty should be evoked. By dressing in soft neutrals an organic tone is given to the session. Timeless, classic, fresh, clean and pure - this is my vision. You help bring it to life by dressing in lighter tones.
