This course covers it all - from client's prep work for best results with a happy and full baby to the posing, lighting and session flow. Watch several real newborn sessions in action with raw and real BTS videos too!
Always see those adorable dreamy newborn sessions with perfect wrapping techniques and angles that just look "professional" but yours seem to fall flat and look sloppy? This course covers how to nail these wraps and angles confidently.
Learn how to safely and confidently offer your clients a lifestyle newborn session. In studio, or in home sessions with baby in lifestyle wraps and in family's arms.
As a photographer my biggest goal is always telling a family's genuine story and capturing them for who they are. This starts with showing them how beautiful they are in their own skin. This is harder to achieve if they get back their gallery and do not feel like they look like themselves. Nailing skin tones is such an important part of our job. This course will provide you with the knowledge of how to capture and edit skin as true to life as possible.
I NEED THIS
We have all been there - you are on vacation and think "ohhhh I should take our own family photos!" and then its a nightmare of out of focus chaos, right? You are trying to use an app or a remote so your hand is reaching for something in every photo or you have to click the app screen to get everyone in focus.... sound familiar? I have the solution for sharp in focus photos without ever needing to use a remote or app.
Ever run out of "poses" or prompts during your sessions and feel like you deliver blah galleries full of portrait style imagery that does not tell the full story or have any variety? Yeah, I have been there, relying on a location with several options for posing so that I can pass the time by moving my clients around a lot and give a false sense of "varied gallery". In reality you are just delivering the same things over and over again in a new spot. This course is going to free you from a routine of freezing up during your sessions and not knowing what to do next while also teaching you how to see the bigger picture. How to notice every detail. How to see what is unfolding before you with intent and emotions. How to tell a client's full story and not just the obvious one. Are you ready to break out of the workflow of repetition and start creating galleries that blow your clients away and tell every detail of their story? Ready to leave every session feeling creative and like a true "storyteller"? I am so excited for you.

Examples of HOW and WHY you should let go of control and structured poses - and how to create a session flow full of real and raw interactions and learn how to let your clients "just be" without feeling awkward.
Real and raw BTS clips demonstrating the prompts I often use and how they work or how they might backfire but how you can use the "failed attempt" to capture something new and organic.
Prompts you can use at your next family session with photo examples of what might unfold and verbiage to help you guide it along and allow your clients to make it their own.
Ever feel like editing is the biggest mountain to climb in your business? Like trying to nail the perfect tones is like trying to hit a moving target? Or maybe you've found yourself pulling your hair out trying to adjust presets that just don’t seem to ever work for you. Ever look at your work and think, "It's just missing that certain...wow factor"? What if I told you that the secret is a mix of getting it right in camera, understanding light and mastering editing? This course is all about that. We'll start with camera settings, then we'll dive headfirst into the deep end of post-processing. You won't just find a go-to preset – you'll understand how to tweak any preset or panel in Lightroom to get the look you're after. You'll know the "why" behind every panel and slider. Ready to dive in?
Ever see an emotive image where you can almost FEEL the emotions/connections and you are left curious how the artist got the clients to be so raw and vulnerable in front of their lens when it feels like your clients are stiff and posed? Longing to create those emotive images but lacking the confidence and knowledge to get your clients to trust you so you can capture such raw, unfiltered emotion? A lot of it boils down to an artist's knack for spotting these moments, but to bring out the real person behind the pose, you need to build a relationship rooted in trust and connection. This is exactly what this course is designed to help you do. It's all about refining the experience you provide to your clients and creating a space where they feel comfortable to be themselves. Then you take what you know about your clients and pull out those emotions with confidence and fine tuned to their story. Let me show you how....
This "course" is more of a template bundle and goes really well with all of the other courses, but ESPECIALLY the Cultivating Connections/Client Experience Course. These are actual templates for my client questionnaires and is a breakdown of my client experience workflows in a copy/paste email template for you to tweak and adjust to fit your business. Basically the copyright is all done for you just plug in your photos/brand details.

"The maternity mini course changed my whole approach to maternity sessions and my first session after completing the course was the first session I have ever been truly proud of. I posted the images and booked another maternity session that same day. I do not think that was a coincidence! "

Hey friends! My name is Amanda and I am the face behind the lens of White Pine Photography and the creator of The Prosper Course and The Flourish Library. My heart for helping others can be seen all through my career, and is something that brings me true joy. I started photography to capture my own kids as they grew and changed rapidly before my eyes and now I get to provide that gift to families all over the country. I have learned so much along the way and it is my honor to share what I know with all of you.
I am a goofy girl who is obsessed with love stories, sunsets, good books, good food, and my family. You can easily find me on my porch swing with a diet coke in my hand and a baby on my lap. Laughing way too loud at my own jokes and providing acts of service for those I love.
Lets Flourish
You deserve to accomplish your goals. And the truth of the matter is, no one can get you there but yourself. I am not offering up a magic pill to success. It will take hard work and applying what you learn to your business and making it your own. The "magic" is already inside you- I am just here to help guide you to your full potential.
I totally get it, change is hard and scary. What is even scarier is spending hard earned money on something and risking it not being beneficial to your business. Ive been there, and because of that I only put out content I have full faith in and firmly believe will be an asset in your business growth. Each mini course, and the membership is crafted and designed with small business owners looking for GOAL CRUSHING results in mind. I have absolute confidence you will learn and grow, with your own hard work applied, we can make the ultimate dream team.
