Spend the day in the studio—
watch, ask, shoot, and edit
This full-day mentorship is built for photographers who want to see everything—how I prep, style, shoot, and edit a full newborn session from start to finish
We’ll start in the morning with setup and styling, walk through a real session (including soothing, wrapping, posing, and lighting), and finish the day editing together. You’ll be hands-on when it makes sense and observing when it’s time to watch and soak it in. Nothing is off limits—ask anything, see it all.

Small groups. Full sessions.
Real learning.
Held in my cozy studio in Grand Rapids, MI these workshops are an immersive, hands-on experience. We’ll walk through a full newborn session together—from styling and setup to wrapping, posing, lighting, and shooting. You’ll get to observe, shoot alongside me, and ask questions throughout.
I only host two group workshops per year, and I keep them small so everyone gets personal attention. This is a relaxed, no-pressure space to learn, connect, and grow.

We’ll cover skin tones, texture, warmth, removing distractions, and anything else you’re struggling with. You’ll also get a peek at how I batch images to speed up my workflow while keeping everything consistent.
