Behind the Scenes: Newborn Photography Workshop
Peek behind the curtain of my newborn photography masterclass. See how I create safe, dreamy scenes and guide fellow photographers through the delicate art of posing little ones.
This video gives you a peek into a typical day at my newborn photography workshop. We cover everything from setting up lighting and props to safely posing and wrapping the little ones. It's a full day of hands-on learning.
My workshops are kept small so I can give each photographer personal attention. Here you can see me guiding a student through the delicate process of posing a newborn, ensuring both baby's safety and the perfect shot.
Here is a behind the scenes look at how we capture those adorable awake twin shots. It takes patience and a few tricks, which I share with my students so they can confidently handle twin newborn sessions.
Safety and comfort are my top priorities. This video shows my hands-on method for gently settling and posing twin newborns during a workshop session, ensuring the babies are secure and calm.
Creating a themed setup is so much fun. This video shows the making of our little Sadhu scene during a workshop, from placing the props to posing the baby to get that perfect, unique shot.
Wondering what to expect from a session or workshop? I walk you through the entire process in 30 seconds, from preparing the setups in my home studio to how we work with the baby and parents for a smooth, relaxed day.
A behind the scenes look at achieving the perfect side-lying pose. I guide my students on how to gently position the baby, adjust the wrap, and place accessories like this floral headband for a beautiful portrait.
From an empty prop to a beautiful final image, this video shows the styling process. We will work on layering textures, adding floral elements, and posing the baby to create a complete, artistic scene.
This is the view from your camera during my workshop. You will get to take shots like this one, capturing a perfectly posed newborn, and build a strong portfolio to attract your own clients.
About A Day at the Workshop: Behind the Scenes
We keep groups strictly capped at five photographers, which is the only way to ensure you actually get your hands on the camera. You are not just watching me work from across the room. You are physically handling the wraps, learning the transitions, and shooting with live baby models, so you leave with your own portfolio images by the end of the day.
My workshops are designed for photographers who are tired of theory and ready to get their hands dirty. When you join a session at my Whitefield studio, we jump straight into the practicalities of newborn photography. We start from 9 AM and go until 6 PM, covering the same setups you see in my gallery.
What we cover:
- Safe Posing: You will learn my gentle, safety-first approach to posing newborns. From beanbag workflow to the tricky transitions when a baby gets fussy, you will practice soothing techniques in real-time.
- Twin Posing: Photographing twins is a unique challenge. I dedicate a specific segment to safely handling two babies at once, teaching you how to coordinate poses without compromising comfort.
- Styling & Props: We look at how to layer textures, use floral elements, and select props like baskets or cribs to build a cohesive theme. You will see exactly how I prep the space before the parents even arrive.
- Post-Production: The session includes a deep dive into my Photoshop workflow. I show you how I handle skin retouching and create composite images—the magic behind those 'hanging' shots—using both traditional methods and AI tools.
Whether you are struggling with lighting in your own studio or just want to build a stronger, more creative portfolio, this is a space to learn, make mistakes safely, and find your own artistic groove. I believe in sharing everything I have learned so you can build a business that feels true to you.
