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.

6 pounds | Welcome to the world, John

Greetings! Good morning to you! As always, I like to begin by thanking you for stopping by my blog. I'm glad you're here. If you've found your way here, chances are you're interested in perusing a newborn session and reading about a specific top to do with my portraiture work. Today's session is really fun because it focuses on parent posing in my studio. Let's get started.

Gone are the days of formal, stiff or boring posing. Instead, sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning they're about connecting, feeling natural, and focusing on your spouse or precious baby. As a mama, I can tell you that you will treasure your family images because this is a time when baby is so small, so sweet, so new to the world she literally fits in your hand.

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!
