Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
bridge maternity to baby to create a thriving business
There are techniques, tips, and tricks that I'd recommend for photographers to subscribe. "Sandy Puc - Bellies and Babies" a workshop that toured in 2008, where I first met Sandy, transformed and revolutionized my approach to maternity portraiture!
Sandy may be the most confident instructor on Creative Live and she has the skills to make this reasonable - also the results. She may be the most intelligent and engaging instructor on Creative Live also. A brilliant course.
Great !!!! She is excellent !!!!!!
Ididnt purchase this class but have been watching it live most of the day and Sandy is amazing and i love what she has to say. I feel connected to her and can really relate to her emotions. She gives a lot of valuable marketing information I plan to implement immediately. I have not tried to photograph many babies but her advice would be helpful to any genre.
It's all about newborns and babies. Supposingly this kind of photography is Sandy Puc's specialty and she seems to love it. Nothing wrong with that. However I am far more interested in other types of photography like: fashion, landscapes, portraits and so on.
Sandy Puc is very inspiring! She pours her heart and soul in teaching not only the technical aspect of Photography but the true value of it. I am so lucky to have purchased this class on sale! I have learned so much in this course. It's definitely a must-have class for beginners like me. Thank you so much, Sandy Puc! You have changed so many photographers' lives including mine. And thank you, creativelive for making this possible.
This is my first Creative Live course and I'm very happy with it. I don't have a studio but it was very helpful to understand how to begin a career as a baby photographer. I like the way Sandy explains what she does. You see that she loves her job. I'm glad to have known about Now I Lay me Down To Sleep project. I'm not an english speaker so I'd like there were english subtitles 'cause when she speaks very quickly I miss a lot of words... Thanks Creative Live team!
This is a great course. The only downfall was the safety aspects. I have cringed a couple of times watching her handle a newborn. Safety is important. Making sure the baby feels safe and secure.
I honestly don't know where to start...this course is outstanding! Does it go indepth on shooting and lighting...no, but it is loaded with inspiration and business aspects of photography. Just sensational...I am so jealous of the staff that are blessed to go through this life journey with Sandy Puc Photography! May God richly bless Sandy, her family and staff.
Absolutely Phenomenal! Any small business owner just has to watch this. The ground-level marketing strategies are remarkable and transferable to many business types. No stone is left unturned. Sandy gives everything away. I love her presentation skills, so emotionally theatrical, really working the audience and yet utterly relevant as a guide how to communicate with our customers too. I haven’t even seen the actual photo shoot yet! Once I do, I’ll offer a final review. In any case, I’ve easily made a massive return on the investment I made in purchasing this class. My only gripe is that due to the age of the course some of the material offered to on Sandy’s Facebook page is no longer available. However in fairness I’ve not contact her to ask how to obtain them either. I bought this class during a CreativeLive sale, I just can’t believe my luck! Thank you.
This is one of my favorite courses from Creative LIVE. It was the first one I have ever purchased, and I did not regret it at all. This class taught me so much on how to get my business going, and all of the things that I can do with it. I took away so many lessons and ideas, and I re-watch it constantly. I feel like a much better business woman, and photographer and so much of that is because of what I learned from this class! I would recommend this to anyone!!
Sandy is truly an inspiration! Her fantastic photography definitely urges us on to greater things, but I am most impressed by the way she connects with people. Her clients are not just $$ to her, and her job is not simply a way to make money - she feels things greatly, and it shows. This webinar causes me to not only better myself as a photographer/business owner, it inspires me to become a better person.
Very valuable course for anyone who is doing photography as a business or planning on venturing to become a full time photographer. Sandy is obviously brilliant in her field and she has an innate sense of business and marketing. Personally, her photo style is a bit old fashion for my taste, but that's just a personal opinion. Nonetheless, I bought this video and think it's worth it because of the tremendous amount of knowledge I've gained from her.
Great session by Sandy. A small suggestion for Creativelive on website part. If possible please allow paid subscribers to tag their favorite video so that way when we want to go back and take a look at particular video we can just look into our favorite section instead of going thru all videos to figure out which section we want to re-watch.
I watched most of this course online and she is fantastic! I am not a specialist in newborns, but it was so neat to watch her and hear her talk about her craft. :) She is a friendly, amazing, wonderful person who loves her business and family!
I couldn't tear myself away. This is by far one of the most amazing Sandy talks about and can't wait to take the next step in my photography career. Thank you Sandy!
This was such an inspirational course. It made me get up off my butt so I could make footprints in the sand. I spent yesterday visiting small businesses in my area, talking with the owners about leaving my cards and a small display in their reception area. I wouldn't have had the courage to do that if I had not watched this course. Btw, I have set aside a budget of $200 to spend on creativeLIVE this year. This was not going to be one of my purchases, but I had to have it, so I will need to expand my budget because there a couple upcoming courses that I know are must haves.
Really amazing course, I learned so much already and I am only on the 4th video!!! Sandy, you ROCK!!!!
Best course ever, Thank you, Sandy!!!
I purchased the set and am so excited about watching them. There are several gold nuggets regardless of where you are at with your photography business. I love that she's willing to share without holding back.
I cannot begin to tell you how important it is to have this course as a part of your collection. Being a part of the live audience ... I will still go back time and time again to review all that has been presented in the past 3 days. Sandy and her crew are absolutely amazing... Simply.. Amazing.
I know so many families with new babies at church and have wanted to invite them to let me create studio portraits, both for practice and for profit. You've given me so many wonderful tips and ideas for posing, shooting and marketing. I've already begun collecting appropriate props. I believe in me, but know that selling will be the hardest thing for me. Sandy makes everything look so easy! I related to her emotionalism--I'm the same way. Today at church, a visitor shared about an expectant mother in Ohio who was diagnosed with Stage 3 brain cancer. Thanks to Sandy's pregnancy portraits and the story about the beginning of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, I emphasized to the visitor the huge importance of that family (already with 4 children) to have a family pregnancy portrait taken. It will mean so much to everyone, but especially the unborn child, who may not ever know its mother. I am also interested in exploring the Now I... training program, if our local hospital needs a special photographer. Thank you for the fantastic seminar I could attend in the comfort of my own home. Cha Ching!
You have changed my photography outlook forever! You are a pioneer in the industry! I true lover of your craft! Please know we will always be hearing your voice in our heads as we "go forth to conquer". Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Amazing! Inspirational! You're learning from the best on this one! She hold nothing back. Truly amazing!
All round impressive:experience, energy, and professionalism brought together with such a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach. Sandy understands people (little and large) and business so well, knows her equipment inside out, and melds it all together to amazing effect. +As a NILMDTS photographer, this opportunity to see the founder explain how she came to it and show her emotional investment was priceless for me. Thanks, Sandy - and thanks CreativeLive - don't think anyone but you could have done this.
