I am SO excited that I have been jumping up and down – literally and doing periodic squeals of excitement that only dogs can hear. Why? Well I have teamed up with the my good friend, the very wonderful and talented Sarah Stone Photography to offer our very first Newborn Photography Workshop.
This has very much come about due to the demand that we both have received from photographers (both new and established) for workshops and training in our specialist areas. Sarah has a very different style to mine (check out her work) so, together we aim to be able to offer a wealth of experience in the art and business of photographing babies and children.

The aim of the initial workshop will be to focus on the skills required to sooth and pose the newborn baby with some hands on experience and the opportunity for trainees to come away with some shots for their portfolios. We will also be covering the business and marketing elements of running a successful newborn photography business.
Please note that these workshops will be very much based on safety. We will not be covering the hanging baby shots, chin on hands and Photoshop composites. We both feel that this type of newborn photography is unsafe and is not something we advocate.
The initial workshop will be held in South Wales in May 2012. Full details will be announced very, very soon. If you are keen to pre-register your interest then click here to fill in my training form. Full details will be released initially to those who have pre-registered their interest. Spaces for this intimate workshop will be very limited and are likely to fill very quickly.

But what about other workshops I hear you cry. Don’t fear. Although Sarah S will lead the newborn workshop (with very capable assistance and much contribution from myself of course!), I will be leading a workshop aimed at older children in the summer with lots of opportunity to work with props and settings enabling you to get some cracking shots for your portfolio and build your photography business.
Watch this space …

This looks fantastic. I’m just starting out and I’ve admired your work for so long. Will there be an opportunity to take pictures as well as learn?
Absolutely. You’ll get the opportunity to shoot images to take away and use in your portfolio. It’s a great way for photographers looking to get into this field to build confidence, knowledge and skills so you hit the ground running whether you’re totally new or perhaps you currently work in a different area such as weddings. And … it’ll be FUN!
Hi I have just completed the registration interest form and really looking forward in hearing back from you, the workshop sounds amazing and one not to miss, can’t wait to hear more information about it, any idea on a date? Regards marc
Hi Marc. Thanks for filling out the form. It is likely to be a weekend day in late May. Just waiting to confirm the venue then we’ll release the full details.
Fab news! This is just what ive been searching for! Registered and cant wait to hear more:)
Got your form Marie, many thanks. We’ll be in touch as soon as everything is confirmed with the venue. :)
Fantastic, will this registration mean that I have a place reserved? So looking forward to it!!
OK, so I cleared almost my entire agenda in May….. One question, will I be able to bring my baby boy, since I’m still breastfeeding? He is used to attending my sessions and being with my while I work, so he won’t be any trouble.
Thanks for your message Vicky. I’ll drop you a line directly. :)
Hi Marc. Everyone who has filled in a pre-registration form will bet first choice of the spaces available. We will drop you guys an email first to make sure you can select a space before anyone else. We have had a really big response so if you are keen to secure a space then I’d recommend letting us know as soon as possible. :)

Hi, I have filled in the form and can’t wait to hear all the details about the newborn workshop. LOVE the fact that you will be focusing on safety and not encouraging anyone to do any poses that could potentially harm a baby. x
