Several weeks ago I attended the long-awaited Amy Cook Photography newborn posing workshop at the lovely SnapSpace Studios in Manassas.
I have been following her work for YEARS, long before I had ever dreamed of offering posed newborn sessions, and when she started teaching in-person workshops around the country I jumped at the chance. An added bonus was the 4 other awesome photographers that were there, who I so enjoyed getting to know and going through this process with! We bounced ideas off each other, talked about our businesses, and discussed our mutual passion for custom photography. I am so grateful for the 10 hours we worked together getting an intense, hands-on training to safely pose newborns.
My newborn sessions will still be in your home and largely lifestyle-focused and natural, because incorporating who you are and what your family is about into the photos is what makes my heart sing. But I am thrilled to be able to include a touch of posed adorableness into the photos as well!
I am so excited to share some of my favorite images and a few behind the scenes shots. Another huge thank you to Amy and Rachel (who owns SnapSpace) for having us.
Side note: I left the workshop a huge prop junkie and invested in a ton of gorgeous fabrics for my future newborn sessions. Prices are going up in September but I am honoring the price quoted at the time the session is booked. So if you’re due this fall, please email me now to reserve your spot with me as your Northern Virginia newborn photographer! And please feel free to share this post directly with your expecting mama friends <3
That moment when the room is silently in awe of a beautiful baby girl and her big brother spills an entire bag of m&m’s! 😀
