In-Person Newborn Portfolio Building

In this portfolio-building session, Lisa will pose and light each setup with the newborn baby, and you will be able to photograph each one. Lisa will pose the babies, and then you will photograph them while she helps you master your angles, which is one thing many newborn photographers struggle with mastering.

This class is intended to improve your mastery and confidence in lighting and shooting at the correct angle.

Gear requirements: A professional camera with manual mode and a Profoto trigger (you can rent one). If you rent a trigger, please bring your camera and ask the camera shop to check your camera settings so it will work.

Experience Requirements: While Lisa can advise on camera and lighting settings, you must know how to operate your camera, set white balance manually (not AWB), and shoot in manual mode. Please see my videos and courses on camera operations.

We will cover:

• Wrapping

• Prop posing

• Beanbag/table posing

• Lighting

• Angles

Class Ratio: 1:10 This class is limited to 10 people. We will have three newborns, so if one is fussy, we will be able to switch babies.

Time: The training starts at 9 am and concludes at 2 pm. Please be sure to bring snacks and water.

Cancellation Policy: If we have to cancel, you will be refunded or offered another date. We do not otherwise offer refunds, but you can sell/transfer your spot.
