ALBERTA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS


NEWBORN 1:1 MENTORSHIPS

WHAT TO EXPECT WHO'S THIS FOR?

These mentorship sessions are designed to be calm, hands on and rooted

in real newborn sessions. I’ll step into your space and work alongside you, demonstrating simple newborn poses, shooting angles that flatter them best and share how small

adjustments can make a big difference. We will cover basic wrapping techniques that prioritize baby safety and ease, along with lighting placement and angles that create soft consistent results. This is a hands on experience where you’re encouraged to asked

questions, all while capturing the images yourself. Allowing you to apply what you're learning in real time.

The focus is on building confidence, simplifying your process and creating

a calm environment for both you and the families you serve.

This mentorship is best suited for photographers who already offer newborn sessions and are looking to strengthen their workflow, confidence and foundational skills in a real session

environment. You should be comfortable working in manual mode and have a newborn

studio space available for shooting. This should include props, wraps, lighting and

space for two photographers to shoot in at one time. This is not a beginners course, but rather an in session assisting experience designed to elevate what you already know.

Meet your Mentor

Hi, I'm Melissa!

I've been a photographer for over 10 years, specializing in newborn photography and photographing hundreds of babies across two studios. While my work has recently shifted towards lifestyle portraits after moving to Alberta, my experience in newborn photography remains a core part of my skill set.
These workshops are a way to pass the knowledge on, offering hands on support and guidance to photographers who provide newborn photography and want to feel more confident and supported in their work.
