Documenting the first days and weeks of a newborn baby is often as stressful for the photographer as it is for the parent. Knowing how to handle the baby, capture all that is in your shot list, and keep tired parents calm and happy is often overwhelming. Join Emily Lucarz, as she walks you through how to get started in newborn photography by taking the photo session into your client’s home. Emily’s passion for newborn photography will teach how to incorporate not only items in the home into your photography but also how to capture natural moments that document real memories in the baby's first few weeks. 

She’ll cover: 

  • How to photograph in natural light no matter how dark or bright the room is 
  • Prepping the parents before you get there so your photoshoot is relaxed 
  • Poses and safety tips that work great for the newborn baby and for the family 
  • Incorporating young siblings into your session 
  • Marketing yourself as you grow your clientele and your portfolio 
  • Pricing and Sales that don’t overwhelm new parents 

By the end of this course, you’ll have the tools and techniques to capture images that are not only memories but become art in your client’s home.

    I really enjoyed this class. Emily brings personality and fun to teaching, which makes this segment refreshing for me. This class really touched me, what she was teaching, because this is basically how I already shoot, but I didn't know what to call the style, and how to communicate that to my clients. Now I do. :-) Thank you.

    Emily is exhausting! Please slow down! Some very good teaching but no pauses for reflecting or connecting. Don't try to watch more than a few sections at a time and you'll get the best from this course.

    This was a game changer for me. Such a great course!! Emily covers absolutely everything related to newborn lifestyle photography. I was in the process of making the jump from posed to lifestyle and this has given me to confidence and knowledge to do just that. Worth every penny... BUY IT!!!

  • Melissa M. Jan 31, 2019

    Fantastic class! Very comprehensive and clear. I loved watching Emily in action during the live shoots and then seeing the finished images and her editing techniques. I really feel prepared to tackle this myself.

  • Charity G. Dec 20, 2018

    Content was helpful. I really do not like how she is so aggressive with physically moving the clients. Like, just TELL them what you want them to do.

  • G. Aug 21, 2018

    The information is terrific, okay. I have just one big complaint, okay. Emily, please stop saying OKAY every other sentence, okay. It is very distracting, okay. Do us all a favor and count how many times you say OKAY in this course, okay?

  • Megan C. Jun 30, 2018

    This class was amazing!! I have been doing Portrait/posed Newborn Photography and really wanted to crossover to Lifestyle Newborn sessions. This class made me feel confident and prepared for my first lifestyle session and truly set me up for success! My session went SO well! Thank you Creative Live for offering incredible classes like this one!

  • Jody F. Mar 29, 2018

    This is a great class! I've learned so much and am excited to use the knowledge I've gained for my newborn session this weekend :) Thanks so much!!

  • Sophia T. Jan 11, 2018

    I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to take a different approach to posed family photoshoots. It has given me the confidence I need to keep working on my technique and keep my eyes open to the creative opportunities at every shoot. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to capture genuine and natural moments in their photography. Thank you Emily, you are very inspiring!

    Great course. I'm an amateur photographer about to become a grandparent for the first time. So many great ideas about how to photograph at home with the available light and make authentic images. Thanks Emily.

    This will sound sappy but I feel like this class changed my life. It gave a strong kick in the pants to restart my photography. I've booked a bunch of portfolio building work and am really looking forward to using all the information in the class. I literally just walked out of class but find myself excited to re-watch it.

  • Anna Marie M. Feb 18, 2017

    Emily's course is excellent and I am so happy that it was my first for being in the audience at Creative Live. It has energized me to continue changing my family portrait sessions to more of the lifestyle type and including more infants. I will be including many things from this class into my workflow and excited to use what I learned, in a few weeks I will be traveling to Colorado for my first newborn lifestyle session and can't wait.

  • Trisha R. Feb 18, 2017

    I highly recommend this class! Emily is a great teacher who is easy to understand, and shares a ton of valuable information that will really help you with lifestyle photography and business in general!

  • Andrea W. Feb 18, 2017

    I highly recommend this class! Emily throughly explains her technique but keeps it relatable. She goes over so much content in such a short time. I learned everything from how to handle low lighting situations to how to reorganize my workflow. She is truly inspiring and this class is worth every penny!

  • B. Feb 18, 2017

    Great class!!!! Thanks for sharing from shooting techniques, to session planning, to personal values that direct your business.

    Emily lays it all out in this class - again! She is an incredible presenter, and provides such valuable information about growing your business. Definitely worth the purchase!

  • K. Feb 17, 2017

    Great job today! Not only did I enjoy it, but so did my 2 yo & 3.5 yo! I got to watch from afar as they gave me the boot and took front row seating. Loved the class!

  • Olga B. Feb 17, 2017

    It was AMAZING! I feel like reborn, realy! Thank you!!

  • D. Feb 17, 2017

    Wonderful class. I learned so much in the past two days. Thank you Emily for sharing all of your wonderful knowledge!!

  • Barb A. Feb 17, 2017

    I have been struggling in my area with marketing lifestyle sessions as it's just not big here yet. Feeling a little down and wondering if I should keep going. This class not only got me out of my slump, but it also gave me the direction I needed. I now know I MUST do lifestyle and that I am already half way there. I learned so much in the first day and will have to buy the class when I save up some money because I didn't get to see it all. Am currently watching the rebroadcast of the second day and excited as I will have no excuses to not watch it all. I highly recommend this class and think Emily teaches it beautifully. She is easy to understand, easy to follow and makes it seem so easy to do. She has given me hope! I also now know how to finally swaddle a newborn properly lol and love the crib shots and will be doing those for sure in all my sessions. I have gained the confidence I needed to approach my clients, slow down during a session, and find my light. I have a session tomorrow and I can't wait to take everything I learned and put it to use. I cannot recommend this class or Emily Lucarz as a teacher enough!
