Lifestyle Family Photography Workshop
Description
Every family has a story and the ordinary day has so many little moments worth capturing. Family photography can be so much more than a stiff portrait. You can turn your passion for family and love into deep and emotive portraits. These portraits will be pieces of fine art for the families who you capture and your work can be meaningful and powerful for both you and your clients. We are here not only to tell you what to see, but also where to look. In this full day workshop we will discuss everything from personal artistic development to guiding, posing, and interacting with families. There will be two parts of the workshop, explaining tips for the newborn session and one on location family session. You get to see first hand how I execute a lifestyle session and lifestyle family session.
