We will cover camera settings, metering, white balance and how to get the perfect exposure and best image in camera. We will show you how to perfect your posing, how to effectively transition babies, soothing techniques and how to communicate with parents. This is the perfect workshop for photographers who want to provide beautiful images for their clients all the way from maternity through the first year. We will also go over editing, starting with how to get a nice clean edit, and how to achieve that Dreamy Newborn Look. Editing will be focused on newborns, but the basic principles apply to all forms of portrait photography. You are also able to take photos during the workshop to use in your portfolio!
