WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE DAY

PART I | 9:00–11:00 AM
We’ll kick off the day with a deep dive into studio essentials – everything you need to build powerful setups without overcomplicating your gear.
You’ll learn how to prepare for a maternity session from start to finish – from selecting the right styling and colors, to setting the mood on set.
I’ll guide you through my go-to posing techniques that flatter every body shape and help your clients feel confident.
We’ll also break down lighting theory in a super approachable way, and explore how different modifiers impact your final look.

PART II | 11:30 AM–4:30 PM
Time to shoot! You’ll photograph two models across five (or more!) lighting setups, from classic white light to bold gel lighting and creative color mixing.
This is your chance to experiment with multiple styles – all under my guidance – and start building a portfolio that really stands out.

PART III | 4:30–5:30 PM
We’ll wrap up the day with a live editing session, where I’ll show you my Evoto, Lightroom and Photoshop workflow step-by-step.
You’ll see how I retouch maternity portraits for a polished yet natural finish (note: I won’t be sharing presets or actions – this is all about learning the craft).

IMAGE USAGE: You’re welcome to use your photos from the workshop in your portfolio and on social media, but please don’t use them for competitions, exhibitions, or to advertise your own educational services.
