Do your photos look drastically different than the Pinterest worthy posts you have seen online and your newborns look awkward, and not as squishy and perfect as you swear they looked when you took the photo?
Discouraged by difficult editing scenarios
Nothing is more frustrating than taking a beautiful photo and pulling it up on screen to edit and realizing the unflattering shadows are not as easy to work around as you thought- and wondering where you went wrong and what could have alleviated this pain point in your workflow. I agree!

" I have just got to say, THANK YOU! I have had fussy baby after fussy baby this year and even with my former prep guide explaining some tips and such, I just don’t think the wording I was using before was really communicating what they need to do well enough. I sent my new guide to the mama I had in the studio this morning and her baby was a DREAM! The whole session was so much smoother."

The biggest struggle for newborn photographers is often the easiest fix - the wrapping techniques!

The last section of this course provides links and downloads to my most used items and resources so that students can end the course and start applying their new training with all of the same tools that I used in the course. This includes; vendor lists for newborn products, editing tool lists and links, amazon links for studio must haves, and PDF guides.
This section is another popular one in the course among students as it gives an inside look - without holding back any tools/steps- at how I edit my newborn photography imagery. There are a total of 6 unique editing videos addressing different newborn imagery issues/lighting situations. This includes an in depth look at perfecting newborn skin, and removing blotches/redness and still having a natural yet polished finish.

I moved my studio bed after this course and seeing how poorly i was lighting my subjects and changing my entire workflow and seeing immediate results."

YES! I provide my prep guides so you can pull them into Canva and customize them to fit your brand, and business with ease. Nothing is held back in this course and you get an insider look at my workflows from start to finish and can add the aspects you find most valuable into your business workflow and see immediate results as your client experience elevates.
This course is designed with the busy small business owner in mind and is organized into bite sized lessons/modules that are easy to follow, and digest. When growing my educational offerings it was important to me to offer courses that could be accessed on the students schedule- at anytime, anywhere. A lot of the lessons are videos with clear audio so you can stream and listen even when you are driving, or editing. Pairing with the visual learning is ideal, but you can watch and rewatch at your leisure.
All courses in Flourish Library are geared for photographers in all walks of their photography career journey. As a beginner you will be able to keep up and learn from the ground up- with comprehensive lessons covering all aspects of the subject. As an advanced photographer with more experience you will learn new techniques, approaches and "light bulb" moments just as a beginner would, as you learn from a new perspective. Photography is beautifully subjective.
Each mini course, and the monthly membership in Flourish Library are all stand alone content purchases and none of the content overlaps into another. Purchasing a course, you can confidently assume that all education is exclusive to that particular purchase. The monthly membership may cover newborn edits or sessions but will be unique lessons separate from this course's lessons.
A mini course in Flourish Library is like a bite sized mentorship focusing on one specific topic, or niche. It is similar in the way that it is education from one photographer to another. It is different in the way that it is not a back and forth of information, it is a one time purchase of a content course that is pre-created with photography growth in mind. Student/teacher access is more limited. It is similar to purchasing presets - a transaction.
Believing in yourself and trusting in your ability to grow and evolve as an artist is the hardest part. But, guess what? You are worth it.
The Bloom Newborn course is designed to make this evolution as easy and graceful as possible, and with a little abundance energy - you can reach new heights in your newborn sessions as soon as today, babe.
