Shootout - All Levels - 25 Students - First Come First Serve

This isn’t just any maternity session—it’s the real-life kind. The kind with a glowing mama, maybe a tired toddler, maybe a dad who needs a little convincing, and a whole lot of sun to work with (or fight against). In this hands-on class, we’re photographing a full family during a maternity session, and I’ll be showing you exactly how I handle it from start to finish.

We’ll kick things off by diving into what actually makes a location great—spoiler alert: it’s all about the light. You’ll learn what to look for (and avoid) when scouting, how to place your subjects in natural light that flatters instead of frustrates, and how to avoid green skin and blown highlights even in a grassy Texas field.

Then we’ll dig into settings that keep things sharp, and posing that flatters real bodies, not just the Pinterest-perfect types. You'll see how I direct families so they feel natural and connected—and walk away with images that actually sell.

Don’t forget to bring your camera and a bottle of water—it’s gonna be a hot Texas summer evening, and we’ll be shooting through golden hour like the pros we are.
