Chic, Delicate, & Classic | Inspired by Four Elegant Color Ideas

4 Gorgeous Colors to Create Girly, Chic, and Dainty Newborn Photos | Inspired by a Love of Muted Tones

Newborn Styling 101: Be Timeless

When designing a custom newborn session, there are three aspects to my brand that are essential in creating some of the Best Houston Newborn Photography: Classic, Timeless, and Vintage-Inspired. My motto has always been, "Why be trendy, when you can be timeless?" This in mind, I offer a great styling questionnaire to all of my expecting parents. This is where we talk about your nursery colors, likes, dislikes, must have poses, and even things such as sentimental items from home so you may incorporate a personal item into your session if you wish.

This in mind, when Lily's mother, Talitha, shared her color preferences with me, she mentioned she loves nude colors. I found inspiration for their girly, chic, and feminine newborn session in the most interesting of ways: through an eyeshadow palette! I headed to my master bath and studied some of my favorite groupings. 

Tan, Beige, Cream, and Mauve | Styling Houston Newborn Photos

These four colors, tan, beige, cream, and mauve, are absolutely breathtaking and stunning, making for an amazingly gorgeous newborn girl portrait session! 

These four colors, listed above, make for an elegant color scheme for the most petite of clients: a precious newborn baby girl! When it comes to setting up for a session, everything is provided by me; all the dainty tiebacks, wraps, headbands, bowls, buckets, textiles, etc., it's all available in my client closet. The cream, for instance, looks spectacular against Lily's skin tone; her parents brought a pearl bracelet to add a sweet southern touch to the session, and I cannot stop swooning over her gallery! How lucky am I to photograph the most beautiful babies in all of Houston, Texas?

During my time with Lily, we focused on the blush pink and rosy tones, as well as mauve and even a vanilla cream! These colors are timeless, classic, and result in a fantastic gallery. During potato sack pose, for instance, I paired the fluffy cream flokati rug with an adorable rose headband to emphasize all things feminine and chic about a brand new little girl. From the moment of being earthside, Lily is super stylish! 

In my Houston Baby Portrait Studio, you'll find (3) custom wood walls that make for stunning portraits! A dark wooden wall is a great option for my sessions because the texture is lovely with the vintage-inspired floor props I keep on hand. The cream, tan, and lace are all super girly while maintaining the vintage-inspired aspect of my newborn brand. 

Finally, a cream distressed farmhouse bucket is a great way to encompass the nude color scheme for an elegant newborn girl photography session! This soft blush pink wrap is the perfect accent to little one's skintone; paired with a mauve pillow and rosy pink head piece accesorry, she is perfectly pink in all things nude! 

Thank you for visiting to see a stylish newborn girl session! I hope you enjoyed reading how newborn sessions are designed and an interesting place to find inspiration! 

Warmly,

Sarah

Parents Give Complete Creative Freedom | Artist's Color Choices

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers a large variety of props such as colorful textiles, natural organics, vintage-inspired pieces, and stunning accessories to complement your precious baby.

Greetings, friends! Today's blog post is a special one because it shares unique and creative newborn sessions. You see, as a professional baby portrait photographer, my studio is the perfect place to have your little one's first photos taken! I offer many affordable options with completely transparent pricing. Parents encounter no hidden fees or surprises when booking. Everything is a seamless, laid-back experience from the moment you contact me about securing your own appointment.

For instance, a styling questionnaire is given so parents may relay their color preferences to me. This, along with a newborn session prep guide, is given so you're sure to have an amazing session! However, sometimes parents tell me they have no color preferences or specific props in mind. They give me complete creative freedom, which is a huge treat! Having the option to pull anything is truly a wonderful way to be creative and provide some of the best Houston Newborn Photography images! I cannot thank my clients enough for entrusting me to work with your family.  

Let's get started on showcasing two recent sessions that made my heart sing! 

Joshua | 6 Days New

Joshua is the most handsome little dude! Weighing just over 7 pounds with a head full of gorgeous, dark and curly locks he truly is a gem! His sweet parents told me to choose everything for the session. This in mind, I pulled all things classic yet unique; shades of blue, spring greenery, rustic red, and antique buckets. I even made sure to pull a neutral as this compliments his skin perfectly! 

Joshua's session also reflects masculine newborn boy colors such as charcoal grey in the popular potato sack style of newborn wrapping. This is the super cute one where they look like a round little egg, ha! Parents always ask me how I am able to make them round like a basketball and I explain I learned this at a newborn workshop in Houston, TX. I do practice newborn safety with all of my petite clients so if you ever have a question about how a certain look is acheived please know I am an open book an completely transparent in all that I do. :-) 

Aria | 5 Days Old

When Aria's parents booked her newborn appointment, they expressed complete trust in my preferences and relayed that they came to me for my professional opinion. Since I do photography newborn cherubs full time, for a living, this is a great idea since I know how colors will look under the lights, especially once we process the images in Photoshop.

For Aria, I pulled inspiration from her gorgeous skin tone! Her features are absolutely stunning: beautiful eyes, long lashes, and sweet cupid lips. She is an absolute beauty!

Aria's posed newborn session is a work of color art! You'll find many stunning tones such as a rich, vibrant purple and lilac lavendar as well as a fun spring time yellow, too! Adorned with custom headbands and tiebacks, she is the epitome of newborn grace and beauty! Her session was an absolute dream and she was such a joy to work with! Mom and Dad did an incredible job preparing her for the newborn session. They even brought grandma along to help, too! It takes a village, and I am so excited to have photographed this beautiful time for her parents. 

As always, friends, thank you for visiting my blog to see information about how I create unique, rustic, and timeless newborn baby portraits! I hope you visit again and if you ever find yourself in Houston, I would love to work with you! Moreover, if you have a friend or family member who is perhaps expecting their own bundle of joy, I would love you to refer them to my portraiture work. Wishing you a joyful day, gang! 

All my warmth to you,

Sarah
