Dewdrops workshops are the next step in becoming a more confident and efficient newborn photographer.

If you need to improve on your posing, lighting, editing, angles or you just need to refresh your current workflow then Amy’s course has proven to do just that.

  • You will learn all about studio lighting and a little natural light (when available) camera settings, white balance for best skin tones, exposure, and how to get the best images straight out of the camera.
  • You will watch Amy as she safely poses newborns during the beanbag workflow, props shots, wrapping, and parent shots.
  • Bring your cameras because you will also be shooting each pose and learn all about angles!
  • She will edit 2-3 newborn images start to finish and have an open Q&A discussion time over lunch.”

“Amy’s in-person workshop was a total game changer for me and my business. Her knowledge, coupled with her laid-back and easy-going personality, makes learning from her not only fun, but also ensures a great transfer of knowledge. I have signed up for her online courses and attend any workshop she holds local to me, as there is always so,thing new to learn. Her mentoring group is fantastic with so much continuing support and knowledge. I recommend Amy time and time again as she is simply the best in both her craft, and in teaching.” – Laura Bower, Fleur FotoPhotography

“I have done multiple in person newborn workshops, and no one compares to Amy! Not only is she the best in the industry, she welcomes you into her fold after the workshop, which is absolutely invaluable. The ability to interact with her and make friends with other mentees is worth the price of the workshop alone. She is always my first recommendation when someone is looking for a newborn photography workshop!” – Sharon McMahon

 

“I live outside the US and making the decision to invest in a 1:1 was really hard. Once I got there I understood how important it is to learn in person and I am more than sure I picked the best to learn from and the best is Amy for sure. Thank you for all your knowledge, I would take again if I could.” – Lulu Mocci

 

“As a somewhat seasoned newborn photographer I still needed help tweaking certain poses and shooting angles. I admired Amy’s work and made the decision to do a 1:1 mentoring session and it was a great investment! Never stop learning!” – Ann Jessup

“I am brand new to photography and have been eyeing workshops with Amy. I attended my first one (I’ll be doing another one:) ) this month and I was blown away! I gained so much useful information in such a short amount of time. Aside from being an amazing teacher and mentor, Amy is an awesome person. I can’t wait to attend another work shop and continue perfecting my craft.” – Carmen Stintzi

 

“I was recently blessed with the opportunity to spend a day and a half with Amy in a 1:1 mentoring session. Until recently, newborn photography was just a dream for me. It is very early in my journey and I questioned whether I should have a little bit more experience before investing in a mentoring session, but it was truly the best investment I could have ever made in chasing my dream and starting my business. Amy not only gave me step-by-step instruction in camera settings, set-up, lighting, posing, angles and editing – but she also gave me a tremendous amount of hands on experience in her studio and continues to provide support and feedback from a distance. I truly feel like Amy taught me in a day and a half what would have taken me years to learn on my own. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from the best!” –Molly Carlsen
