Three Wardrobe Looks during One Maternity Session | Outfit Changes
Sweet lovebirds, Kendra and Mac, chose three different looks for their maternity session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography! See highlights below + tips for styling.
Howdy, friends! Today's blog post is all about how outfit changes during pregnancy portraits. For instance, clients often ask what my policy is on outfit changes; do I limit them? Are they allowed? Have no fear! While one dress is perfect for a pregnancy session, I completely acknowledge there will be parents-to-be and expecting couples who would like to showcase more than one look. I love embracing your ideas and welcome outfit changes.
A few tips on styling:
Always start with the casual look first
Let your hair and makeup artist know you will be doing more than one look
Plan for changing time so your light looks wonderful throughout each portion
Wear clothing that represents your sparkling personality
Let your photographer know which look is your favorite so we can spend time as needed
Kendra and Mac are the sweetest lovebirds! Aside from being an adorable pregnant couple, they're also baby plan membership clients at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. This in mind, I like to go above and beyond for parents who have booked not only pregnancy portraits, but also baby's first year of life. Of course, when you're a gorgeous as them any outfit looks great on you!
For our time together, we used a location in Cypress, which is in Northwest Houston. We chose a sunset appointment so Mom and Dad could have plenty of time to prepare, especially since professional hair and makeup really enhance your session plus give you a huge confidence boost.
Outfit # 1: Casual T-Shirt and Jeans
The first outfit was a casual, simple look sporting adorable custom t-shirts saying 'new mom' and 'new dad'. These are great images for your baby shower, too! Having a new baby is super exciting and it's great to see parents who are proudly showing off their pregnancy!
Outfit # 2: Cultural Reflection
The second look was still casual, and easy to change into, yet reflects this couple's culture.
Outfit # 3: Formal gown attire
Finally, the third look, seen below, is a formal and form-fitting gown which is a great addition during your pregnancy portraits! This shows your baby bump easily and truly highlights the feminine shape of an expecting mother. The warm, golden light looks fantastic behind Mom and even the wind helped us out by creating the soft, flowing hair below. Mom is truly radiant and glowing! This was my favorite look from our time together so we did lots of poses. There's a slideshow below if you're interested in seeing the full session!
As always, friends, thank you for stopping by to read about a fun topic, such as outfit changes during your maternity session! I look forward to sharing photos of their newborn portraits soon! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Warmly,
Sarah

Last month on the calendar: 2018 April Testiomonials and Reviews
Good morning, friends! Thanks for visiting! Today's blog showcases all the beautiful new babies, parents, and even a few baby bumps for that I had the honor of documenting during the month of April.
“Sarah is very professional. She has a lot of experience and her studio is fully equipped with all the materials, fabrics, head pieces and little extra unique pieces that will make your session super special. Even when her studio is located at home you won’t even notice it. I know is hard as a parent let other people to handle your newborn especially if you are a first timer (like I am) but trust me! Sarah is very delicate and she handles babies with all care and patient. The pictures are beautiful and honestly this is an investment you won’t regret.”
“What can you say?...Sarah is an awesome photographer. We did outdoor family photos for a large family and she was very patient with the kiddos. She is very kind and knows her stuff! We look forward to many more family photos using Sarah!”
“We loved our newborn photo session with Sarah. Sarah is very sweet, professional and talented. I had complications after the birth of my daughter and thought I wasn’t going to be able to take part in the photo shoot. Sarah gave me several options and we were able to reschedule our session. I really appreciate what she did for me and I highly recommend her. Her work is beautiful!”
“Sarah is excellent! Very professional and easy to work with. She recently did our baby boy’s newborn pictures and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her for such a special time in our lives. We look forward to working with her again in the nearest future. Thank you Sarah!!!!!”
“Sarah is absolutely amazing to work with. We had the best experience with our first family pictures. She was so patient and kind with our 6 month old. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful!!”
“Sarah was awesome for our newborn shoot! I found her via Google search and loved the gallery on her website. What sold me was how responsive and friendly she was via email and the fact that she offered full rights to the digital images versus many of the photographers I researched who require you to purchase all of your printed images through them. She answered every question I had, most of them before I even thought to ask and even ordered a special prop just for our session based on our conversation. On the day of the shoot she was super friendly and warm and so easy to work with. She handled our little man with such care that I was at complete ease and just sat back and let her do her thing. We just got our pictures back and I am obsessed! We will treasure these pictures forever and I am so grateful to her for helping us capture such a special moment in time. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah for your newborn photography. She will take such good care of your family and your new addition and provide you with priceless memories to last a lifetime.”
“From the maternity session to the newborn session, Sarah was very open and accommodating to what we were trying to achieve and made the whole experience pleasurable and exciting. Her work speaks for itself, and she has the knowledge and skill to capture those important moments in life for future generations to cherish”
“Sarah took newborn photos for us and did an incredible job. She incorporated family photos and was excellent at getting shots of our toddler as well. She definitely put us at ease and was very flexible to accommodate our sons need to eat during the session. She requested specific information prior to the session and used that to tailor our time to exactly what we wanted. Our photos are amazing and we would happily use her again!”
“Clear and informative communication from start to finish. We are thrilled with the results from our first shoot with Sarah and already looking forward to future sessions!”
“Working with Sarah was a complete blessing! We chose her for our maternity and newborn pictures based on the amazing reviews and we were not disappointed! Starting with our maternity pictures, Sarah was very professional and clear about what to expect. She brought a very pretty quilt and gave helpful advice on wardrobe selections for me and my husband. She was punctual, polite, and energetic at the photoshoot and her positive energy helped to renew my energy (which had been drained from the pregnancy). The photos were STUNNING! We absolutely could not be happier with the maternity photos she captured. After our son was born, Sarah did our newborn photos. Oh. My. Goodness. I am so thankful that we chose her as our photographer. Her prep guide was INSTRUMENTAL in having an amazing photoshoot. She was so kind and thoughtful during the process too, which is super helpful to a new mama. She took my pose requests and made them a perfect reality. Her newborn props and wraps are gorgeous too! Basically, if you want your once in a lifetime pictures to be stunningly beautiful, Sarah is the photographer you need in your life. The entire experience was transparent, professional, peaceful, and memorable. We truly could not have had a better experience with anyone else... of that, I’m convinced. She is worth every penny and then some. I really don’t think I could ever use another photographer now that we’ve been spoiled by her! Thank you, Sarah, for providing my family with the most gorgeous images during these once in a lifetime experiences.”
“Sarah photographed our newborn 2 years ago and I loved her work so much I came back this year to get baby #3 photographed. Our gallery turned out amazing! My favorite part of our session was watching her work her magic and wrap my baby into beautiful poses. She is so gentle, patient, kind and nurturing and her talent shines through her images. I can’t wait to frame and decorate my house with pictures we will cherish always. Thanks, Sarah!!!”
