Spring Has Sprung! Botanic Infant Photography featuring Florals and Greenery

The studio welcomes the 2019 Spring Season with decorative blossoms, garland,and blossoms for the freshest baby bud newborn photography in Houston!

In honor of the first official day of spring, which is March 20th, I’m super stoked to share images inspired by love of florets, perennials, vines, and all things beautiful. As a professional newborn, baby, and infant portrait artist, I am inspired by a love of color, textures, and seasonal items, such as the freshness you find from floral items. If this is your first time visiting my blog, welcome! I’m excited you’re here and I hope you cozy up and smile when you see the cutest babies who have visited! Let’s get started!

Spring Is in the air!

Spring is in the air and is finally here! Not only do we have longer days, as daylight savings time is currently in effect, things just feel lighter and even more hopeful! While Houston does not have a huge array of seasons, we are always thankful for a reprieve from the heat, but this past winter has been pretty bleak for our Gulf Coast city, so seeing blue skies and less rain has been an absolute joy!

What does Spring Symbolize?

Fun fact: spring often symbolizes new life. Pairing greenery and flowers with the birth of a new baby is a creative way to showcase all the newness and sacred joy in bringing home an adorable bundle! Joy and love, moreover, are also symbolized through spring and few things such as love, hope, youth, and growth are embodied quite the way a new arrival showcases so this in mind, one cannot help but see the parallels between the season and births.

Baby Milestone Sessions | 6-12 Months New

Baby and Infant Milestone Sessions take place in my Houston Photography Studio 6 days per week and are truly a huge treat to photograph! In fact, part of why these are so special is many of my clients, ages 3-12 months old, start out as newborn clients, or even maternity, so seeing them sit up unassisted, smash cakes, play in the bubble bath, and embody all things chubby and sweet baby, is a really fun morning! There is a very popular set of memberships for these clients, too, so click on over to this post to see more details about these.

Now that you know a little more about what constitutes infant photography, I adore using greenery, eucalypti, garland, vines, etc.

Favorite colors I also like to have on hand:

• mint

• corals

• pale green hues such as sage

• peaches

• lavender

• pale pink

• cream

• leafy green

Custom Newborn Photography | First 14 days of Life

In the world of photographing newly arrived cherubs there are several styles though mine can be described as posed portraiture within a studio setting, as this is where my sessions take place, and everything is posed, so that all of the details are perfect and showcase your little one as the amazing little angel they are! They’re truly a gift and all of the little details matter from macro images, buckets and floor props, wrapping, family and sibling portraits, and of course bean bag posing, too! Creating stunning works of baby art gives me life and I’m super stoked about these springtime renewal setups below. Keep scrolling to see more!

As always, friends, thank you for visiting! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to spend time in my own little creative corner of the earth. I am excited to share I am accepting due dates well into 2019, such as October, so if you know someone who is currently expecting please know I adore referrals. If you’re the lucky lady, however, who is growing their own bundle of joy I would also love to work with you!

Breathtaking Backlit Photography for Timeless, Airy, and Dreamy Portraits

Ethereal Backlighting for Stunning Newborn and Family Sessions

In my Houston Newborn, Baby, and Infant Portrait Studio you’ll find amazing lighting that makes for stunning images! One of my favorite ways to light my subjects is called “backlighting” which is simply a controlled technique in which a light is placed behind or at the proper angles to produce a separation between the subject and the background. The end result is heavenly and absolutely beautiful. These take place during each session and parents always select these during their proofing.

When booking your preferred portrait artist it is always a great idea to peruse their portfolio and see if the type of work they produce makes your heart sing. Each photographer has their own style and branding behind the images; for instance, at SBP, the heart of the styling, shooting, and editing is dreamy, rustic, and timeless. 30 years from now the images will not look dated and instead the images are all about the subject, interactions, and embracing the spirit of this momentous time in your life.

Preserving Family Bonds | Examples of Backlit

When you visit for your baby’s first professional photo shoot, we’ll cycle through several setups such as family, sibling, parents, dad with newborn, and mommy with the new baby, too! You may be interested in reading more about the family portion posing, too!

You’ll be told what to wear to the session and even given a styling questionnaire to ensure your favorite colors make their way into our session. When photographing a new family from the backlit perspective, I love to see you in solid colors; neutrals are the most timeless and fantastic colors for this part of your session.

When using the all white, bright light the focus is interacting with one another. I may have Dad kiss Baby, Mom smile down at Baby, or perhaps have parents look into one another’s eyes and think about how much they love the new addition.

We also focus on family bonds and incorporating the older sibling, too, if you have another little one. As a mama to four young kiddos, I can attest you’ll treasure this portion of your gallery!

We’ll also take time to photograph each parent with your earthside cherub, too, and the white light will frame beautifully in any home decor.

Hello, World! Happy, Little, & Loved | Poses with Family, Siblings, and Both Parents

A new baby brings much joy and adventure to your home! Beautifully preserve this incredibly special time in your life with a custom newborn session for the whole family by Sarah Borchgrevink.

Type of Combinations & Setups Offered:

At SBP there are currently, as of 2019, four main session types that encompass the first 14 days of life, specifically your newly earthside baby boy or girl. The bean bag and wrapped newborn sessions include the option to add family, sibling, or parent images, while the petite and full options include all things family. While there is no pressure to book one session over the other, these do appeal to many parents who would also like to participate in the spotlight! After all, Little One will only be small for a short time; as one of the top Houston newborn photographers, four years in a row, and also a Mama to four spirited kiddos, I can attest this time is fleeting.

There are three main components to this portion of your little one’s first professional photo shoot. These include the following:

• Family as a whole

• Parents

• Sibling
  
  We generally spend about 30-35 minutes of our time together cycling through several setups and options so you’re sure to have a fantastic proofing gallery full of gorgeous setups, connections in which everyone interacts with Baby, and also traditional portraits, too. Much care and thought is put into the posing, lighting, wrapping, and preparation for your time in front of the camera. There is an even more detailed breakdown of behind the scenes at this post. There is also the option to read about an adorable, simple, and timeless gallery of first-time parents.

This blog post will showcase the groupings you can expect as well as the type of lighting and posing implemented. Let’s get started!

Baby + Family Photography

During time part of your baby’s session with Sarah we will spend plenty of time capturing your immediate family as a group, such as family images with the newborn and also any other kiddos you may already have. If you would like to bring Grandparents please let me know in advance and you made add them for a small fee if you would like to do so. Moreover, if you’re unsure about what to wear to Baby’s photoshoot, have no fear: all of this is covered in your newborn styling questionnaire.

We always use a solid backdrop, such as a rustic wall, and also use the all-white, gorgeous lighting that’s called back lit. Both types make for dynamic images, variety, and truly encompass all the beauty of your clan. It’s always nice to have a traditional, classic image in which everyone is smiling and looking happy! However, lifestyle options, in which everyone interacts and focuses on the youngest member, is also a wonderful addition to your gallery.

Parents | Studio Poses with Mom & Dad

The second portion is an even smaller breakdown of our time together, too! The ‘parent’ portion includes both individualized setups of each parent with Baby, but also parents together. For instance, it is nice to have setups showcasing father and newborn photography, photos with both parents, mommy and new baby together, too, as all of these are part of your story. I am honored to capture these for you!

Mom & Baby

A mother’s love knows no bounds. This post showcases my favorite poses and ways to showcase the bond and connections between new mommies and their cherub loves.

Sibling

Newborn photography with sibling(s) is a very popular request! Like family and parent images, sibling setups include classic, rustic, and timeless images for a dreamy gallery of your little ones!
