1. HOW TO CHOOSE & USE EQUIPMENT ESSENTIAL FOR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
When working with newborns, it’s important to always have them at arm’s length so you can be prepared to catch them if they startle. This proximity requires particular equipment so that you can achieve shots free of distortion. As well, you need lighting that can produce gentle light and not be too strong. And, there are a plethora of newborn specific tools you’ll need, such as your posing surface, posing pillows, wraps, heat control, and a shusher. This course will teach you what is essential and what you can do without.2. HOW TO KEEP YOUR TINY CLIENTS SAFE AND DEEPLY ASLEEP
Successful newborn photographers are often called baby whisperers because those who take their craft seriously become expert in how to keep infants safe and comfortable based on their bodily limitations and needs. They also know how to work with the baby’s natural sleep cycle so that they can lull them into a deep sleep that makes posing possible. In this course, you’ll learn how to assess those limitations and help babies get into and stay in deep sleep, so that they don’t become over-stimulated, and you can have a successful session.3. HOW TO CREATE A VARIED GALLERY FULL OF DISTINCTLY ADORABLE IMAGES
When working with newborns, you are limited in how many different poses you can put them in and in the time you have available to take those shots. Russ will show you how to make the most out of each pose so that you come away with a gallery of 25 distinct and adorable images that your tiny client’s parents will love and want to buy."You must always think—”is there a safer way where our clients will still find this beautiful?” And the answer is always YES."
