Start to Finish Newborn Shoot: Newborn with Parents

let's get a little headband do I have a little white pants little white wins in the end just think something a little more white he's a little creamy youjust stay holding her dad I'm going in perfect good mom ok here's what we're gonna do dad you're up first we're gonna put it on your arm you're gonna be like this tiffany's gonna spot you one hand's gonna be holding on the bottom the other hand's gonna be in the top you're gonna get a shot of just the baby on your arm that I'm gonna ask you to just look at her and smile and be amazing and you're gonna give her a little kiss and then you're gonna look at me then mom's gonna come in we're doing a family then we're gonna end with mom you're going to holding baby I'm gonna get a real close you're gonna just look at me look at her give her a kiss then dad comes in and we're done got it perfect seem retouch up we'll take that out well actually I could take that out here's my rule if if you could do in two minutes you can do it in house that'...

s my rule if anything takes longer than two minutes sometimes I'll see tiffany playing with an image might if you've got work to dio just send it to retouch up we all want to do it aaron you're probably watching this sanitary touch up because we like to play her pants from backwards I'm going with this fine stream looking tying a bone when she's under all right we'll go okay you know what we all like to play I'm going to say I'm going to go back to the model thing if you want to play just do it on your own time you want pink headband or you wanna keep a cream color mom and I have a question do you always do mom and dad in pictures I found a lot of moms don't want to get dressed up for pictures with the baby so do you always do that and if you do how do you ninety nine percent of the time this is what I tell them years from now when your baby is older she's gonna want to know what her mom looked like when she was holding you I know you have a little more weight than normal you just had a baby I will shoot close up we won't show below the bosom let's just make it about the relationship between you and the baby and just shoot close up we just do one we just do one we'll do it sometimes that goes sometimes they don't want to and that's okay but don't get me started about my story because I'm adopted kate if I need you okay I'm gonna take her for a minute and I don't have any photos of me as a new born or my mother holding me my biological mother not my mother my biological birth mother my mom knows I love her my adoptive mother and I'm not missing anything in my life

I enrolled in your course because I was wanting to expand my photography business to something other than weddings. I never knew just how amazing and important pregnancy and newborn photography would be. I am feeling so much joy, love, inspiration and the need to do this now; all because of you and this course. You have captured me and led me to believe I was meant to do this type of photography. Thank you for your amazing course, your talents in what you do are unmeasurable! I look forward to learning more from you in the future while watching your course over and over. I can't wait to start this new journey of imagery. Thank you!

I cant believe I got this on sale! So happy with this purchase. The one thing I feel I would have changed is I feel she rushed through the newborn sessions really quickly and spent ALOT of time on maternity. I would have liked to see a lot more of the newborn posing and info versus a dozen maternity. But all in all its full of a lot of great info and I love that its not voice over....it is true time so I can see how she is interacting with the clients. Thankyou Anna I love love love your work always!!
