One of the top U.S Newborn Photographers will be flying over to teach us Newborn Story Telling…..Join Robin in this powerful newborn class geared towards an intermediate to advanced level, as she guides you through her four-step program in “baby storytelling,” while exploring how the Newborn Robin Longconcepts of natural imagery are created to complete a series of storytelling portraits. You’ll learn how posing a newborn in a natural manner conveys emotion to the viewer as the story unfolds. This session is geared for those who seek to explore baby-guided posing as the key component to powerful natural imagery. Robin will show you how to create images as well as how to group the most compelling selections from your session as wall art. You’ll also discover how to keep things simple with set ups and props, as she demonstrates how to pull the story together with easy wrapping techniques, including her signature “nest egg”. While the class will not focus on lighting, simple instruction is given using a one-light studio set up. Newborn models will be present and attendees are asked to help maintain a quiet and calm environment at all times.
