Updated Due Date Placeholder | Accepting 2020 Arrivals
Specializing in studio infant, baby, and newborn portraits, Sarah Borchgrevnk is joyfully accepting 2020 due dates! See more information below.
Hi, gang! Welcome! As 2019 winds down, the studio is gearing up for a great upcoming year! We are thrilled to share we’re accepting due date placeholders for 2020. A due date placeholder is a beautiful way to commission our studio as your baby’s portrait artist. A due date placeholder means your estimated due date is added to our calendar. This lets us know how many babies to expect each month so we may plan accordingly.
Newborn sessions occur in the first 14 days of life, preferably when your Little One is 5-9 days old. This timeframe is the optimal time when new infants are curly, sleepy, flexible, moldable, and able to be posed in those oh-so-darling images you see via our Houston Newborn Photography Portfolio page. Adding your due date to the calendar gives you instant access to the scheduling options once your baby is born. You are most likely to have your preferred date and time not to miss the fleeting newborn window. The weekend dates are also highly sought after, o keep this in mind, too!
The best time to add your due date to our calendar is when you’re either in the second or third trimester. Your due date is simply an estimation for when the Baby is expected to arrive. Some little ones are early, late, and even right on time. No matter when your cherub is earthside, you already have access to the calendar.
Package pricing is upfront and eareadilyvailable to you to make things simple for new parents! The studio's focus is selling full-resolution digital files, along with a print release. There are no in-person sales appointments, minimum print orders, or separate session fees. One rate pays for your entire session from start to finish. However, professional prints and products are available for purchase as a perk to parents seeking the highest quality.
14Fourteenays after your session, you receive a private online proofing gallery showcasing the best images from our time together! Parents select the number of portraits that come in the chosen package. At that time, those selections are fully and professionally edited. They’re polished up and ready for you to print, share online, and treasure forever!
The chosen images are delivered three days later via instant digital download. A print release is also included. You may print your photos as many times or large as you would like forever.
Sessions are available seven days per week in the studio between 6 a.m. - 6 p.m., M-F, and 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The standard turnaround for proofing galleries is 14 days, year-round.
Motherhood wardrobe is included for all sessions.

Posed Newborn Session Information | What's Included When Booking with Sarah
Posed Newborn Photography Session Information
Welcome to the blog! This post is an informative piece sharing an overview of what’s included in an appointment when booking your little one’s first professional images! I am honored you’ve stopped by and hope you find these details helpful. Let’s get started.
Fully Inclusive Packages & Pricing
As a full time business owner, and Mom to four young children, being transparent and making things easy for parents is the heart of my business. At SBP, packages are one flat rate for the entire session. This includes session design, props, time and talent as well as allotted coverage, retouching, proofing, the preparation of your final gallery, and a stunning full resolution digital gallery of non-watermarked images you may print as many times as you like. A list of three free cloud storage recommendations and consumer grade labs are also given so you’re sure to know how to safely archive your photos. Feel free to also check out newborn package & pricing for Houston baby photography.
Two Week Turnaround Time for Proofing
There are no in person sales appointments, separate session fees, or minimum print orders to receive your digital files. Instead, you have a proofing gallery you view from the comfort of your home, couch, or even with family members. You’ll select your favorite images and have the option to add more images if you’d like though there is no obligation to do so. If you would like professional prints and heirloom products these are available through your gallery, though just like upgrading to additional digital files there is no obligation to do so. Soft proofing is my method of choice for previewing images and what many clients relay they prefer.
Everything is provided
Everything for your sweet cherub is provided. This includes hundreds and hundreds of props such as gorgeous bonnets, headbands, dainty outfits, backdrops, buckets, bowls, baskets, wraps, and more! Simply bring your little one’s diaper bag and leave the rest to me. A styling questionnaire ensures your favorite colors make an appearance, though everything will be cohesive and match the vintage-inspired, dreamy, rustic, and timeless brand of Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. Your gallery will stand the test of time and be amazing even 30 years from now.
Please look through my Houston Newborn Photography Galleries to ensure we’re a good fit for one another! It is best you select someone who props and poses make your heart swoon. Your baby will only be brand new for a few weeks and you generally have one chance to have these images.
Classic, Timeless, and Natural Baby Photography
SBP is a traditional posed newborn photographer (Ranked Best Houston Newborn Photographers 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) and is known for simple, natural, and vintage-inspired baby portraits with non-distracting props and themes to artfully preserve Baby as a brand new bundle of joy. Cozy wrapping, bean bag posing, and stunning macro images are the heart of the styling. If you are a fan of simplistic, stylish, and classic session designs than I’m the photographer or you. Parent, family, and sibling images are also available.
Booking
To book your appointment with Sarah, it is best to do so in advance. There are a limited amount of appointments per month to ensure every client has availability for their session. By signing your contract & fulfilling your contract, preferably in the second or third trimester, you have access and priority to the scheduling & booking calendar first.
To get this process started you’re welcome to visit the online booking page and follow the step by step instructions.
Once your baby is born, you will pick your session date & time as soon as possible. I like you to visit in the first 14 days if possible with 5-9 days being my absolute favorite sessions. Earlier is best. New babies are best photographed as they move less, sleep better, are more curly, have less baby acne, etc. Top newborn safety soothing techniques are used throughout the entire session.
Feel free to also ask questions or inquire via the contact tab, too, and we can schedule a phone, e-mail, or in person consultation. You’re also welcome to see a full gallery of any session type you’re interested in as it is important to ensure you like the style of photography I implement during my sessions.
Moreover, once your Baby is born you will receive a posed newborn prep guide telling you everything that will happen before, during, and after your session. This prep guide also covers what type of outfits to wear to your appointment should you choose to participate in your baby’s professional portraits.
Where is the studio located?
As of June 2019, Sarah is located in Uptown, inside the 610 loop, in order to be central to all parts of Houston. The address is 4550 Post Oak Place, Suite 203, Houston TX, 77027.
