Mastering Newborn Posing & Prop Styling

Learning to create advanced composite images, like this baby on a floral swing, can truly elevate your photography. I will guide you step-by-step through the shooting and editing process to achieve these stunning results.

Even simple props can be so effective. Here, a cozy bunny hat adds a touch of whimsy to this portrait of a sleeping twin, showing how accessories can enhance a newborn photo.

This little one is nestled amongst a collection of teddy bears. I will show you how to use props to create a narrative and add a sense of scale and sweetness to your newborn portraits.

Color theory is a key part of my workshop. In this setup, we used shades of blue in the wrap, flowers, and props to create a cohesive and calming portrait of this sweet baby boy.

The "bloom" setup is one of my most requested, and I will teach you how to create it. This overhead shot shows a baby wrapped snugly inside a large fabric flower for a delicate and artistic portrait.

Sometimes, the most powerful portraits are the simplest. I will teach you classic posing techniques, like this side-lying pose on a simple backdrop, that focus all the attention on the baby's peaceful features.

This short video reveals how we create the magical hanging hammock shot. You will learn how to safely support the baby in the prop to get the perfect angle for a beautiful composite image.

This is the final result of our hammock setup. The baby appears to be peacefully floating among flowers, a beautiful illusion we create using safe, hands-on techniques and a little editing magic.

This image demonstrates the use of digital backdrops to expand your creative options. I will show you how to shoot the baby in a prop and then seamlessly blend them into a pre-made scene like this floral chair setup.
