    I wish there was less talking and more shooting! G-string? Boobs? huh?

  • Barb L. Apr 13, 2018

    I thought this course was very worth my time! I love Ana's work and learn something from every session I watch with her. I think there is also great value to hear one of her suggestions or something she does and I can say - I do that too! It's great confirmation that I'm doing things right.

    Was agoodcourse but with babies it’s always going to be different in real life

  • Kevin S. Sep 15, 2017

    This is a $39 course you shouldn't expect too much from it. Her other classes that cost more are more in depth.

    Loved it! Very detailed and great posing tips, good prop sources and the best only with natural light.

    Great segment! Very informative, Ana is great to listen to and learn from and I found I had some great take-aways! - Babies and the props were adorable !! :)

    I love Ana Brandt and love the videos! I learned so much. Thanks again Ana!

    I really liked this course. As someone new to newborn photography, I learned so much valuable information such as using Aquaphor - which has saved me a ton of time editing, session flow, as well as not getting overwhelmed with having a thousand props. I didn't really find using natural light to work so well during my first newborn session after these videos. It offered some beautiful lighting and was much more soothing for the baby than having flashing lights, but once that appointment is booked, relying on natural light to be there the day of can be so nerve racking. Also, I didn't like how high I had to have my ISO using natural light through windows. However, I will say that if there are big windows and lots of light coming in, I will use it, but I would recommend planning for that not working out for you. Thank you so much, Ana, for a great class. I grew so much because of your guidance!

    Fabulous, great hands on training. Concrete examples of what works and what doesn't. Excellent instructor I will look for more classes from Ana. Thanks.

  • Candice T. Mar 23, 2015

    I found the course to be flighty and chaotic. I dont really like how much she talked about un-related topics, or seemed to not know information. She is a great photographer, and is good at her craft. I did learn a bit, but would have loved to see more.

  • U. Feb 19, 2015

    Fantastic course so much to take in. but all good. enjoyed everything about these videos

  • T A. Dec 30, 2014

    Ana is awesome! I have watched several of her YouTube videos, so I knew I would benefit tremendously from her CreativeLive classes! I purchased all three. Please have her come back and share more!!! Thanks Ana!!!

  • U. Dec 29, 2014

    I agree with previous review, I would have loved to see more posing more structure and may be reference list of vendors. Thank you Anna for the upbeat mood and energy.

  • Debbie L. Nov 9, 2014

    Loved this! So much information and Ana is wonderful on her instruction. I just started playing with baby photography and I wish I had seen these tutorials first. Ana is straightforward, and I really feel I can take away with me a whole new perspective. Thank you Ana for sharing.

  • M. Nov 3, 2014

    I have learned so much from your videos! I'm inspired, just need some new babies to try out my new skills :) Thank you Ana!

    Ana is an excellent teacher. I like that she tells it like it is. I love to here her personal experiences about where she has come from. I will definitely watch more of her tutorials and classes.

  • J. Sep 28, 2014

    Thank you Creative Live for brining in people like Ana and for the ongoing support for photographers wanting to take a step further :)

    It's chaotic.

    Great class with lots of information. Ana is wonderful and really assures you that you can find great pieces on a budget. I feel good knowing that Ana is also getting things from the scrap fabric bins.. I'm hopeful :)
