Posing Guide Book
Posing flow is the KEY to a successful newborn session.
I have worked out a very UNIQUE way of linking poses together - my posing flow will change the way you conduct your sessions. You will have OPTIONS for linking different poses, you will feel CONFIDENT in your sessions and you know how to move the baby easily and gently to achieve huge galleries, maximising sales!!
All workshop attendees will receive an electronic copy of Rebecca’s 30 page ‘Posing Guide Book’ covering 16 different poses! With extra tips and tricks, this Posing Guide will help you remember everything you learn on the day of the workshop! I have made a pledge to make this Posing Guide (and the secrets to my Posing workflow) ONLY available to my attendees - join one of my workshops and this wealth of knowledge could be yours!
Videos
So much information will be given on the day that it is hard to absorb everything.
To help you remember some of the key items covered on the workshop day, all attendees have access to my photography videos (filmed LIVE during my various workshops)– these videos cover wrapping, posing and photoshop skin editing tutorials! I am continuing to add to these vidoes. The videos are available for watching in my private facebook group for workshop attendees.
“I just watched the video and this is what I have to say… I’ve purchased a skin tone workshop before, videos are probably over an hour long but I just have learned MORE from your 8 minute video than from that hour of videos! You explained the principals of fixing the skin tone and that can be applied to any skin tone problems, not just newborns! I love the way you teach and explain things, I love this video and I love your Australian accent” ~ Monika Wilimczyk, New York City Workshop Class
editing actions
Photoshop is used to put the finishing touches on images - but remembering the steps can be overwhelming.
I have created Photoshop Actions SPECIFICALLY for my newborn photography workflow. You will receive ALL of these actions as part of the bonus materials!
“Just want to say your actions are bloody amazing – your reduce mag and purple are the best I have ever used. And the rosy cheeks – awesome. Yes I’m an action junkie! And your gold vignette was made for me! I guess maybe because I’m using them in conjunction with your skin editing curves layer video it all works wonders! Thank you!” ~ Bec Thomas, Adelaide Workshop Class
FAQ
Q. Are class sizes limited?
YES, absolutely! Each workshop is limited to between 4 to 7 attendees (depending on the host's studio size) as I strongly believes in providing an intimate learning experience to ensure one-on-one time with each attendee. I want to be able to really TEACH you and for each person to be fully involved in the workshop.
Q. Will I get hands-on-experience?
YES! As the workshops are small groups, you will get to be involved in helping me pose the baby. You will be up close, right next to me - seeing and helping with everything I do on the workshop day.
Q. Will you give me feedback and help with my camera angles?
YES, I will be right next to you as you take the shot! I will give you directions and feedback and you will have the opportunity to fix your camera angles and re-shoot the pose (providing the baby is nice and sleepy).
Q. Can I make specific requests for things to be covered on the day?
YES! Because the group is small, I actually tailor each workshop to the specific group. You will be able to tell me anything you really want covered and I will make sure to include that in the schedule for the day.
Q. I am new to newborn photography, is this workshop for me?
YES it is. All experience levels are welcome. Do not be scared, as it will be a small group, it will be a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The only knowledge you need is how to work your camera in manual mode (and I will help you with specific camera settings on the day).
Q. Is there on-going support?
YES! After the workshop class, attendees will be invited to join a private facebook group with other past attendees, to provide on-going learning and support in your photography journey. I am very active in this group, posting tips and tricks and image critiques.
Q. Is the workshop open to photographers that teach?
Unfortunately no. The workshop is not open to photographers that already teach workshops or provide mentoring (including on-line mentoring/workshops) in newborn photography.

Reviews from past attendees
Sharyn SafiI learnt exactly what I needed from the
workshop, the lighting was explained very
well, and easy steps were given to ensure
that we understood what was happening
and soaked up everything that was being
taught. In regards to recommending friends,
I will definitely, Rebecca was very
professional, helpful, opened her studio and
home to other photographers hoping that
they take home a lot from her workshop
– which I think other photographers
should experience.“

Suz Worsley-DeaconStudio lighting was most certainly thoroughly covered, including fill light and reflectors which were my major concerns. I also didn’t expect to learn as much about the marketing/pricing side, which in my side of the photography industry there is little information, let alone discussion between photographers. This certainly gave me confidence in my pricing structures and the market I aim towards. I would highly
recommend this workshop to other
newborn photographers or anyone else
looking at studio lighting. ~“

the 1 pose, that was one thing
I struggled with prior to taking

Joie UptonThe posing, lighting and techniques
that you taught have enabled me to develop
into a photographer that is confident and
able to create images my clients adore. In the workshop you ensured we had the time to photograph each model and pose. I got to practice until I understood the angles and positions that got the most flattering pose and I nailed it. You had everyone tell you what they needed to know or learn so we could all have a custom workshop experience. Quite literally the next session my lighting and posing were a 500% improvement. Since the workshop I have received continued support on posing, editing, lighting. My career has been transformed by Rebecca and I owe her everything for giving so much in her
workshops and ongoing support. If you want to make this into a profitable career that also creates images you are so proud of, Rebecca's workshop is career changing! ❤️“
