Our second day of newborn mentoring with Mary went great! We worked more on composites, editing and Mary got to help pose and perfect the baby, working on the little details.We had two beautiful girls in the studio today to model for us. This morning Miss Bryce came in and then we had Siya in the afternoon. Both girls were SO sweet and we captured so many gorgeous images of them.  Sneak peeks below!! For more information about mentoring with Shannon Leigh click here: MENTORING INFO Beautiful Bryce Gorgeous Siya 

Mary from Mary Bosotu Photography came all the way from Washington DC to learn more about newborn photography from us. We went over our posing workflow, safety, calming baby techniques, putting props together, editing, composition, studio lighting and much more.We welcomed beautiful Parker and Saturn in the studio today to model for us. Parker was not much for sleeping and although we weren't able to do much posing with her we were able to show our student how to get those beautiful open eyed shots that everyone loves so much. Saturn slept the entire time and posed beautifully for us so we got the best of both worlds. Sneak peeks below!!  Miss Parker Adorable Saturn
