I mentioned a few posts ago that I recently took a “newborn photography workshop”, led by Jaiden Photography. In fact, I flew all the way to Seattle to do so! (It’s possible that I had been looking for an excuse to go to Seattle… hello, Seattle!)
Well, Stephanie Knowles (of Jaiden Photography) is a complete expert with newborns. She can get them to sleep like no mother I’ve ever seen. And then she knows just the right angles to capture them at. She showed us all her posing techniques (which happened very quickly and looked like magic to me), and then we were able to take our own pictures. I’ve gone through mine and just given them a quick edit, and these are the results. a 4-day-old Jake, 8-day-old Bryce, and 12-day-old Kayleigh.
Thanks again to the fabulous Stephanie! One last thing I learned from her… when working with all these babies, and all the things you need to go with them… I see why so many newborn photographers hire assistants. One of those would definitely come (or, as you can see here, two or three…)
