Photographing a newborn outdoors looks effortless. The truth is it takes knowing how to keep the baby safe, how to make natural light work for you, and how to get your camera doing exactly what you ask — all at once.
This is a working afternoon in Orange County, not a lecture. You'll be behind the camera with two real newborns and their families, with me right beside you guiding every choice — from the safest way to settle a baby into a basket to the settings that turn open shade into a portrait.
What we'll cover:
Safe newborn handling outdoors — spotting, supporting, and reading the baby
Camera settings that hold up in changing natural light
Posing and composition in a real, living setting
Directing the family and folding in family frames without losing the light
You'll leave with portfolio-ready images of your own from the day, plus the confidence to do this on your own. Spots are intentionally limited so everyone gets real time behind the camera and real feedback.
