Baby Lennox | 8 Days Old

24.4.13

This gorgeous baby was the first of our models from our recent Melbourne workshop. He was an absolutely perfect model (almost too perfect!), sleepy & curly and totally beautiful. Thanks for bringing him along Kimberley!

And also a big thank you to Kate from Kate Mudie Photography for hosting the workshop for us – it was a great space to work in and you made us feel entirely at home. Oh and we’ve totally bought 6 more blankets too – its an addiction!

angela bone - Angela Bone, Little Blue Photography.. I live in Tasmania, i am a self taught photographer and am learning the art of newborn posing through online tutorials, as sadly, there is no posing classes held here.. i have purchased all my props and started a page on FB, and even had my first newborn shoot last weekend! It went well, however i feel i could really benefit from some professional tuition and assistance to really give me the ‘edge’ that clients look for. I am aware that i would be responsible for flights and accomodation in Sydney to attend the course.. if i were to attend as a paying customer id be up for thousands, and its unlikely i could afford this anytime soon.. Id love to win a place at your Sydney Workshop – the skills i would gain and take home with me would be priceless and give my newborn photography career, the boost it needs. Thank you Giggles Photography xx
