You don't need expensive gear to capture a beautiful baby portrait, but you do need to understand your settings! Sandy shows you where to start and how to adjust for the perfect exposure. She'll also share her picks for lenses and tripods.
Lighting is one of the most important elements of any photograph, and it's especially key when it comes to portraits. In this lesson, Sandy walks you through choosing the most flattering light and helps you modify it to fit your needs. You'll also discover helpful insights for placing your subject.
It's time to dive into the most fun and challenging part of baby photography: posing! Sandy makes sure you get some key information on safety and moves on to recommend a variety of heartwarming poses for newborns.
Capture how much baby means to the family by getting everyone in the mix! You'll learn great ways to use parents as props and discover how to work siblings into the portrait.
Now that you know the rules of the road for newborns, turn your focus to 3- to 9-months-olds. With this sometimes fussy age group, timing is key! Sandy lays out how to set yourself up for success pre-shoot, and shares tips to keep babies happy and engaged during your session.
As any parent knows, 1 year and up is a whole new ballgame. Follow along and find out what to expect from a child who can stand and walk. Sandy even ends this lesson with pointers for a successful cake smash session.
