The Full Experience | Diamondview Photography Education

Have you ever wanted to take your newborn posing and photography to the next level?

Are you looking to pick up some new tricks for soothing a newborn? Are you looking to solidify your session workflow? Are you looking to enhance your camera angles?

The Full Experience mentoring is perfect if you are ready for hands-on posing and photography practice. Here you'll get to sit alongside me while we pose and photograph together. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take notes. The Full Experience is available 1:1 or in a group setting with up to four (4) students.

Session Flow

I will bring in a newborn model and family members for a full session. I will demonstrate my session workflow, and I will walk you through all of the steps. For baby I will include wrapping, table workflow and at least one prop (of your choosing). For family poses I will cover a variety of parent poses and one sibling pose. Ahead of the mentoring session we will discuss your objectives so that I can tailor the session to your goals.

Lunch and snacks will be provided.
