Newborn Safety and Posing for Professional Photographers

I ADORE capturing memories for my lovely families and I am very passionate about newborn safety, which coupled with a huge demand kicked off my venture into training new and established photographers in the art of safe and effective posing.​

I have invested hours into my own practice and developed little tricks of the trade which have become invaluable tools in my client workflow. During my training sessions we will cover:

  • Hands on experience to maximise learning.
  • Flow posing - my flow posing, transitions and tips for re-posing without disturbing baby's sleep.
  • Safety - how to ensure baby is safe, supported and comfortable throughout.
  • Spotters - when and how to use them.
  • Beanbag and Prop shots - how to move seamlessly and effortlessly between the two.
  • Angles - how small tweaks make big differences in camera.
  • Lighting - working with the shadows, flattering light for babies- studio and natural light.
  • ​Sleep Patterns - Reading baby's movements, understanding sleep patterns and the impact this has on posing.
  • Settling and soothing techniques including how to begin a session with an awake vs asleep baby.
  • ​Post Processing - My editing flow with little tips and tricks to speed up the editing process.

Plus a comprehensive guide to my favourite, high quality prop and fabric vendors.

​Private after session support with videos and reference guides.

As brand-new parents, the experience was fun and relaxing for both Poppy and ourselves - and that’s all thanks to Emma’s dedication to what is clearly her calling!

My aim is to have my trainees leave their sessions with excitement and a drive to take on board what they have learnt and develop it into their own styles. I have seen huge progress in my trainees already which makes me so, so happy- to see photographers finally nailing their nemesis pose or rediscover their passion for their little business is so wonderful.
