If you’ve ever felt like your newborn work isn’t “good enough” because you don’t have a massive studio, perfect light, or a super sleepy baby…this session is for you.

This is a real live recorded session with a 5.5 week old baby using simple household windows, a Target curtain, and constant problem solving as the light changes throughout the shoot.

No overly polished setups. No fake “perfect baby” session. Just learning how to actually SEE light, adjust in real time, and create beautiful images with what you already have.

You’ll walk away understanding:
– how to use natural window light more confidently
– how I work with older/awake newborns
– how to pivot when things aren’t going perfectly
– and why simpler setups often create more emotional images anyway

Also includes a completely unnecessary side story about Twisted Tea and me almost drowning expensive camera gear on the Fourth of July. 💀

This free session is meant to give you a real feel for what learning inside The Collective is actually like.
