Session Spotlight: Norah
I have been focused to newborn portraiture for 4 years now, in that time I have really focused on my education on newborn safety and posing.
My next step was to learn how to provide variety in my work while maintaining a cohesive gallery.
This is the very first time I believe that I had a vision for the session, and all the extra work I put into it showed in my edit results.
I planned each image, lighting and posing with my stand in baby. I even edited one of my test shots with my stand in baby.
I wrote down reminders on a sticky note attached to my cart of close by posing essentials.
This session showed me how far I have come, and that my education on posing and working with newborns is paying off!
It also was the reminder I needed to slow down in my planning. less can be more.
