 I know the challenges you face as a photographer, especially in newborn posing. It can be overwhelming trying to perfect your technique while also managing the business side. But you don’t have to do it alone.

With my newborn posing and educational course, I offer personalized guidance to refine your skills, boost your confidence, and enhance client interactions. Together, we can transform your passion into a thriving, successful photography business.

Been there. Done that.

Feeling stuck in your business?

I took my very first photography course at 15 years old with my dad's old Ricoh. That was 30 years ago. YIKES! Back then I had no idea where this passion would lead but I knew from early on that I wanted to bring meaningful and timeless images that would envoke emotion even decades later. 

When I first found my way from weddings and family portraits into Newborn portraiture, it was 2007 and I had no idea what it would take to refine my images and my business! 

It all started with a hand-me-down camera and a dream. 

I need help today!

It took years of practice, struggling with 5+ hour sessions and major anxiety of how each session would go.

I was lacking confidence and consistency in my posing, workflow and lighting skills.

I was always getting fussy babies and not using the proper techniques to calm them.

I had no idea how to pose safely and what to look for in the baby's movements and behavior.

I had too many hours of editing because I wasn't getting it right in camera and my skin tones weren't consistent!

With over 16 years of experience in newborn photography, I've learned a lot through trial and error. Now, I'm excited to share everything I've learned with you, so you don't have to go through the same struggles.

My online course covers all the essentials: Newborn Safety, Posing, Wrapping Techniques, Lighting, Camera Settings, and Editing.

You'll not only master the art of newborn photography but also gain invaluable insights into the business side of things. Plus, you'll have access to a community of like-minded togs!

if i can build a thriving business out of nothing, so can you!
