Details | The focus of this workshop will be on using Natural light the first day with the Newborn sessions and Studio light with 1 newborn session and 1 Maternity session the second day.

Newborns | The first day we will walk through 2 complete Newborn sessions. You'll learn how to work with parents, baby tools every photographer should have, how to calm and soothe the baby, safety, set up, lighting, camera settings, exposure and white balance. You will learn a few of the "typical" newborn poses, but we are going to focus on "pure and natural" posing and learning to think "out-of-the-box" in finding your creative outlets. We'll work with wrapping and using different fabrics, all the while focusing on the pureness of the baby.

Maternity | The second day, we will have 1 maternity session where I will teach you the basics of using Studio lighting. You will learn how to position the light to achieve the soft shadows around the mommy's belly, creating stunning portraits. We'll work with how to achieve the rim lighting to accentuate the belly even further. We'll also be using different types of fabrics and learning how to wrap the mommy-to-be.
