LEARN TO DIY YOUR OWN STUNNING BABY PHOTOS
...WITHOUT EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT
This DIY course is designed for proud parents who want to quickly learn to take beautiful photos that you'll want to share and treasure forever, all without a fancy camera (you can use your phone camera)!
Why most people's DIY baby photos look terrible
I have made every mistake possible when photographing babies. In 25 years, the list of botched photo sessions is extensive.
It took years of trial and error to reach the point where my images looked polished and professional. Babies are cute, but if you don't know how to pose them, they hardly look human! Having all the gear, props, and lights was never the answer to a great photo.
I learned through workshops, online guides, and plenty of practice that lighting, angle, pose, and settings all work together. If one little part of these components is off, the whole image can be ruined.
As it turns out, a fancy camera and a cute baby are not all you need. In fact, you don't even need a cute baby OR a fancy camera!
You can solve the problem of having a phone full of mediocre (or even terrible) photos by hiring a professional photographer to take your newborn photos; there are plenty of us out there. In my opinion, this only patches up the bigger problem of still being responsible for documenting the entire life of your child without completely draining your bank account.
Your phone is a powerful tool, and your home has most of what you'll need for creating beautiful images. Learning the basics in this course will put your parenting duty of documenting your baby's growth completely into your hands. The bonus being frame-worthy images

What Others Are Saying
" I had no idea I could take such great pictures with my smartphone! Now I don't have to schedule a photo session at a studio and risk my boys being tired or cranky. I can set up a quick photo shoot in the comfort of my home when they're rested and happy. Kate also taught me editing techniques on my phone that really give them that professional look. It's been such a time and money-saver! "
Baby Carston and Landon's Mom
"Sending you some pictures I was able to take of my boy at Christmas. It’s so fun! I got lots of comments about how professional they look. Can’t wait to do a cake smash shoot for his first birthday instead of paying ridiculous prices for a professional! ."
-Baby Ryan's Mom
"In my area, baby photos start at $500, and thats just one session to capture one age. Following Kate's guidance I've been able to capture every stage in my babies first year with very little money out of pocket. Its also been fun! Staging, lighting and editing are the biggest factors in making photos look professional, and Kate does a great job of explaining how to set everything up to achieve that high end look."
