Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
an inspiring all-in-one maternity to baby experience
World-renowned portrait photographer Sue Bryce and newborn photographer Kelly Brown join forces to bring you an inspiring pregnancy, newborn and baby photography class.
Sue will show you how to work with clients to capture the intimate glamour of motherhood, both pre and post-birth. Kelly will show you how to safely and beautifully photograph babies from the first month through the first year. Kelly will share her award-winning styling, lighting, and “baby-whisperer” posing techniques.
You’ll develop a comprehensive system for:
Whether you’re a professional photographer looking to expand your portfolio or a new mom with a camera, this course will teach you how to expertly document every phase of a baby’s first year—from womb to walking.
Really great information! I know some people don't like Sue's style, but honestly - she's the one that doesn't hold back from telling it like it is and that alone is why I keep coming back to her as an instructor. No sugar coating - it's direct and challenging. This class, definitely worth the purchase if you do anything newborn-12mo, and the maternity shoot extras were awesome! I will be shooting a maternity/family on Sunday and can't wait to put some of this into practice.
My favourite videos so far. I love Sue's style of teaching, she precise, easy to follow and extremely talented. What you won't find is all the pointless chit-chat and fluff that plagues a lot of other videos. She gets to the point and moves quickly and clearly in a sensible direction. Some might have a problem with that but I think she's actually professional and respects hers and everyone else's time. Personally, I would not have been offended at any time if she was speaking to me. If I was one of the models I would feel like I was in good hand and had clear direction putting me at ease. As a viewer, I find her talented and easy to follow.
I don't understand the negative reviews here. I didn't see any arrogance and I didn't see anyone being badly treated throughout this course. Sue is straight forward, confident and honest. And rightfully so considering where she comes from, how she started her career and where she is today. If you don't like honesty and prefer "sugar-coating"-style, this course is not for you. I personally got so many valuable tips, new ideas, and practical knowledge (including the business side of things) from this course and will come back to this course again and again.
Loved this class! Maternity posing. Newborn and sibling posing. And the information taught on marketing was invaluable. So happy to have found Sue and Kelly and this course!
I love Kelly Browns classes. Sue Bryce is a name i heard of in the photography community. Her classes was full of information, and she certainly has a lot of drive as well as kelly, but I find that I didnt get anything really out of kelly. She was in the back ALOT of the classes. I found that more involvement with Kelly would be better for the course. I would rather watch kelly's newborn workshop over and over. Sue has a Big point when it comes to marketing, and posing. I enjoyed all of her instructions. BUT.... the downfall is that Sue is Very Very Repetitive, and I understand sometimes we need to be that way, but she has done more talking than showing. (for me I learn visually). Great class to watch overall, but bit too much because of the above. Would be happier to pay $100 AUD.
Great team!They are both great photographers,but most important great women and they spread the love!Such an inspiration for me!Thank you both and Creative Live!
This is such a great class! It was packed full of valuable info from how to pose maternity photos to how to edit mom/baby shots and tons of mini sessions with babies of all ages to see how to handle and photograph them at every stage! Thanks for the wonderful help for my business!
In this class i know that the photographer will know how to do step by step a beautifull photos of baby one year old! and to know to use the good light in the studio!
This has been one of the best classes on newborn photography that I ever had the chance of seeing. I learned so much watching this class and I watch it over and over again.
This is the best course ever! I just did my first newborn session and parents were extremely pleased - all due to what I learned in this class.
I am very happy about this course! Thanks!
I have a few of Kelly's classes, and I always find more info which each class. She is amazing, and Sue is great at making a pregnant look and feel beautiful. I am offering maternity portraits now with my newborn package, so this class was indispensable to me!!
It was one of my first courses at CL and so worth it! No wonder Kelly Brown is called the "Baby whisperer" and Sue Bryce... Wow! She's So good at what she does! I learned so much from this course, plus the bonus content is excellent!
A++++ Thanks so much for the class Sue and Kelly I have learnt so much and keep referring back to the classes. You ladies are wonderful. Also big thanks to Kelly for showing a great example of how to balance work while keeping family in priority
I love kelly, LOVE LOVE LOVE her. She is a wonderful photographer, so calm and patient. That is the style that I have when photographing. I liked Sue's portion, however, I did skip over most of it, because I found that she kept talking about the same things. Sue has a great personality bubbly and funny, she just over talked the some topics.
Preach it Sue Bryce. This is my first of her classes. Going to find more now. Just finished Kelly's posing course and am watching her bootcamp. A dynamic duo!
I LOVE this workshop, it is absolutely amazing material and I enjoying watching it again and again! Every time I learn something new from it. And you can't imaging how thankful I am!! Sue and Kelly - your are the best in maternity and newborns!! Love you both so much!!!
It is a brilliant course for anyone who wants to start business and to learn basics.
This is a fantastic course! Packed with information and so helpful to Sue and Kelly work with clients. I didn't realize though, when I bought it, that Kelly has another course on newborns. Woukd love to get that one too!
Inspirational, motivational and extremely encouraging to me!! Thank you Sue and Kelly for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!!
Dang. You girls nailed it! x
I have not finished the purchased course, and I have found it extremely helpful. The instructors are personable and skilled. It has helped me greatly to see them at work. Also, the extra material included with the purchase is valuable beyond what I paid for the course. LOVE IT! Thank you CreativeLIve!
So thankful that I bought this course. Absolutely worth every penny, especially since I can rewatch each segment to make sure I get each point that was made. And the bonus material is fantastic. All I have to do it roll it out when I am ready.
I have been following both Sue and Kelly for a few months and purchased both of their previous workshops, although the whole time I was secretly hoping for a workshop like this one. This workshop fulfilled all my expectations and was amazing to watch, to say nothing of the great extras included in the price! My only question remains, when will the maternity and family posing guides be available for download?
I have been watching the videos and am amazed at how much I've learned. The videos on posing are so helpful, especially the way Sue teaches you how to pose "curvy" women and men. These videos have given me the confidence to move forward with my photography business. Thank you so much!
