You leave sessions feeling frustrated
You struggle to be creative beyond the standard shots
You draw blanks when posing & arranging clients
When chaos begins, your confidence dwindles
Your photos look stale, forced and lifeless
Your images are alright but they don’t stand out
You're too overwhelmed to focus on client experience
What is the secret to creating natural family poses?
If I want to make my families feel comfortable, where do I start?
How on earth do I control the chaos of my family sessions?
How can I freshen up or revive my family posing?
How can I remain confident when nothing is going as planned?
After helping over 40,000 photographers around the world, we have realized that at some point at the beginning of their journey into photography, they have all wondered these same things. The problem in the past has been that there are so few resources that actually show what a fantastic client experience and posing system should look like. I created this course as a way to empower family photographers to gain confidence, knowledge and inspiration to create images they are truly proud of no matter the family situation!
I believed for 10+ years that family photography couldn't be creative or artistic. What a lie! My perspective was stuck in an outdated view of what family portraits had to be. Once I discovered how to pivot through a system of posing styles, my confidence and compositional strengths started to emerge and family portraits became fun again!
Imagine your worst family portrait session. Maybe the parents seemed tense. Maybe the kids were completely out of control. Maybe your confidence and posing plan disappeared as soon as the first pose idea didn't work out. This doesn't have to be your reality the next time you're behind your camera! Let me help you create a flow that never leaves you feeling stuck and overwhelmed!
You can only conquer your sessions with creativity and confidence if you assume the appropriate leadership role! While you can't control children's behavior or parent's insecurities, you CAN gently command authority by having a plan of pivots, engaging at a high level and being the encourager that your clients desperately need!
We've all seen the difference. There are plain, standard and stale family portraits and then there are fresh, genuine and creative family portraits that make you stop scrolling and think "Wow. I want a picture of my family like that!" I can help you create scroll-stopping family portraits that fill up your DM's with questions about availability!
Within the course, I talk about the anatomy of the perfect portrait! There are key components that have to exist for a portrait to be amazing but they can all unravel instantly when a photographer's confidence begins to disappear and insecurities sneak in! This course empowers you to stay confident and in control of the flow despite the chaos and struggles you have experienced in the past!
This is truly just a mini-course focused on families. There isn't education included for newborn, maternity or birth photography.
Yes! I highly recommend watching the real-life demos after the studio content. Composition skills are enhanced once confidence is present. Once you feel like you have a plan no matter what, you can start forming lead lines and creating intentional negative space in every shot! It all works together.
You'll get access immediately! And have access FOREVER, so you can pull up these videos and lessons whenever you need a boost or a refresher course. Watch at your own pace with one lesson a week … or binge-watch the entire course over the weekend! I know you have family needs and other things to tend to, so I want to make sure you have access to these tools forever. Once you enroll, you'll get access the same day! Woo hoo!
Absolutely! Most photographers begin their journey into their professional career by doing family portraits. This is the perfect season to get access to a resource that will shave years off of the learning curve!
You will not need to download the video files in order to access them. You will simply be able to log in and view your videos online. However, you will need an adequate internet connection to allow the videos to load so you can watch them!
I have a super tight return policy -- but it’s only because I want to make sure I’m attracting dedicated, serious photographers. I have worked so hard to make this program serve you right where you are, but I certainly understand the fear in buying something you can’t fully experience before purchase--that would give me pause, too! As such, by purchasing, you’re agreeing to my 30-day guarantee: if you complete the entire course and do all the work within 30 days from date of enrollment and aren’t satisfied, just show me your work, let me know why it wasn’t a great fit for you and I’m happy to buy the course back from you.
