NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING
Learn the techniques behind beautiful, timeless newborn photography.
A private, hands-on training designed for photographers who want to strengthen their newborn posing, lighting, styling, and session workflow — and gain the confidence to create beautiful images of their own.
A PERSONAL, HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
We'll work together one-on-one, combining practical instruction with hands-on practice. We'll begin with a doll so you can learn and practice the techniques comfortably, and then put everything into practice with a live newborn.
You'll learn not only what I do, but why I do it — giving you a better understanding of how to approach each baby and each session.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
EQUIPMENT & STUDIO SETUP
Understand the equipment I use and how I prepare my studio for a smooth and efficient newborn session.
LIGHTING & ANGLES
Learn how I approach lighting newborns in different poses and how small changes in angle can transform an image.
POSING & TRANSITIONS
Learn my approach to newborn posing, including positioning, angles, and how to transition smoothly from one pose to the next.
WRAPPING & SETTLING
Learn techniques for wrapping and settling newborns comfortably, while creating beautiful, consistent images.
COMPOSITION & STYLING
Learn how I choose props and bring together colors, textures, and layers to create a cohesive finished image.
PARENTS & BABY
Learn how to pose newborns beautifully with their parents and create natural, timeless family images.
LEARN HOW TO HANDLE THE UNEXPECTED
Newborn sessions don't always go according to plan. I'll share practical techniques for settling babies and show you how to make the most of your session when a baby isn't settling or things don't go exactly as expected.
AFTER YOUR TRAINING
I'll be available for quick questions in the weeks following your training, so you can continue practicing with the techniques you've learned.
PLEASE NOTE
This training focuses on newborn photography, posing, lighting, wrapping, styling, and running a newborn session. Editing is not included. Editing requires a separate dedicated training session.

ADDITIONAL TRAINING
Feel you’d benefit from more hands-on guidance?
We can arrange an additional photography session for $450, held either in the comfort of your own studio or in mine.
You’ll photograph the session while I work alongside you, providing personalized guidance and feedback in real time — helping you refine your posing, lighting, angles, workflow, and overall approach.
Have Something Specific in Mind?
Every photographer has different goals and areas they'd like to strengthen.
