Are you looking to learn or perfect your newborn photography posing skills? I am proud to offer one-on-one hands-on newborn mentoring in Southern California for photographers. Yep! Right here in my San Diego newborn studio! These newborn mentoring sessions are catered to what YOU need. Although I will have prepared a general newborn mentoring session for you, each and every mentoring session will be slightly different based on what you wish to work on.

• Travel between Anchorage and the Indian Valley Mine with provided round-trip transport on the Turnagain Arm Shuttle
• Meet a local guide when you arrive at the mine
• Admission to the mine and one paydirt bucket are excluded
• Enjoy the flexibility of an independent tour without having to wait on others in a tour group

What To Expect

Our full day newborn photography mentoring session will begin around 9am in the studio. We will get to know each other and set up our studio in preparation for the morning’s full, three hour session with a newborn model. We will pick out colors, props and accessories together. We will also go over how to prepare for both sleepy and awake babies for a consistent workflow. Our newborn model will then arrive. During the newborn session, we will go through my typical workflow, setups, posing, lighting angles, tips, etc. As I teach you how to safely and artistically pose baby, we’ll discuss shooting angles, etc. You’ll be able to photograph baby and to assist in posing as well.

Next up, lunch break!

The afternoon will be spent focusing on editing in the studio. We will pull up the images we captured earlier in the day, and work on editing our session. I will be able to share tips and tricks to help with color balancing, skin smoothing and other newborn workflow tips in post processing. We can also discuss any business related questions you may have! After our session, I will be available to keep in touch and answer any questions that will arise after our session.
