Newborn Photography 101: Capture Their First Moments

“Thank you for joining me and allowing me to share my story and process with you. This course has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean your exploration of newborn photography needs to. What I shared with you in this course is a starting point to inspire you to get started with your own journey. There are so many poses and wrapped techniques to be explored, and your imagination is your only limitation! Don’t let a lack of tools limit your creativity. I would like for you to share your project. Let me show you an example of what I expect to see: The Wrapping Techniques Study and practice the wrapping techniques, to learn these before you are on set with an actual baby. It’s best to be prepared!

The Photo Session Prepare everything to start with the photo session. Start by making a plan, think about which props, colors, and textures you want to use. Then prepare the place to make it comfortable for the baby. Once it’s done, and you receive the baby, start the photo session! You can try the poses I showed you or try with others. Also, remember to try different angles, so you can get better photos. Selecting and Editing Then it’s time to curate, edit and share your beautiful photos! Before you start any project, get sure to follow the tips I gave you to assure the safety of the baby. I want to encourage you to participate in the forum. Engage by sharing your progress and liking or commenting on your fellow students' work. Be part of the community. Remember that the more you give, the more you will receive. I can’t wait to see your project! See you soon!”
