Newborns & Babies: Safety, Soothing & Sustainability

Amy West, CPP will be teaching students how to safely and efficiently photograph newborns focusing on the 5 S’s (swaddling, shushing, side laying, sucking, swinging). Photographing, posing and handling newborn babies bares with it a weight or responsibility for the photographer to be aware of different safety precautions and posing techniques to ensure your client’s safety. The class will also go over how to create an amazing client experience, how to keep clients coming back through incentives and a well-developed baby plan package and end with live model demonstrations.

This course will cover:

  • Safety, soothing, health
  • Client experience
  • Product Development
  • Baby Plan
  • Basic posing, styling & planning sessions

This course is designed for beginner to intermediate students and will begin from the very basics to ensure everyone is on the same page. This is not a shooting-class, but an intensive 1-day workshop on newborn photography education. Camera’s will not be needed. After covering the basics, come ready to observe a live newborn model as Amy demonstrates abbreviated newborn, 6 months and 1-year sessions.
