About this course
Newborn photography is a specialty where safety is non-negotiable and a baby's comfort dictates every decision. This course teaches the full studio workflow for posing infants under fourteen days old: how to keep babies safe with spotting and Photoshop composites, how to run the standard pose sequence (taco, side-lying, bum-up, and supported seated), how to wrap and use a bean bag, and how to keep parents calm so the session runs smoothly. You finish able to plan, light, pose, and deliver a sellable newborn gallery without ever putting a baby at risk.
