Iwould definitely recommend attending a mentoring session with someone who has been photographing babies for a long time and is very safety conscious. Or watching CreativeLIVE this week. And remember to have lots of patience.
Thank you. I only use natural light. I have a large South East facing window with a sheer curtain to diffuse the light. I like to position my bag and props on an angle towards the light so it falls beautifully across the babies face.
Blogging can be a great and important tool for a business but many people struggle with keeping up with their blogs. How do you keep up with blogging and keeping your facebook fans up to date? Do you have help in the office?
There are definitely some moms who need a little more persuading then others and I reassure them how beautiful they are and how important this time is and try to make them as relaxed as possible, putting the focus on the baby. I personally love the parent images and when they see the finished product they do too.
I love entering photography competitions; it really makes me strive to continually create a higher quality of photographic work. And as much as I love photographing newborns I find entering the awards a way to really get creative and work on personal projects. Every year I get more inspired by the work that is produced and on display by so many amazing photographers.

Kelly is a highly-celebrated family photographer and the owner of the Australian studio, Little Pieces Photography. She's known not just for her heartwarming baby photos, but her easy-to-follow teaching style. The winner of multiple photography awards, she'll also share a behind-the-scenes look at one of her latest award-winning shots in this class. Along with continuing to run her photography studio, she now leads newborn posing workshops across the globe, heads up the instructional website Newbornposing.com, and serves as a judge for international photography competitions.
What an awesome class! I actually started watching this, not because I was interested in newborn photography, but because I thought I could pick up some good ideas for photography in general. Kelly is such an inspiring person and so professional and such a good communicator that she has a lot to offer any photographer. I actually have been inspired to try newborn photography and can't wait to implement the multiple ideas Kelly has so generously given. I think it is wonderful for the profession of photography that she has the spirit to freely share what she knows to help those who are seeking advice and knowledge. Thank you!
I cannot say enough to relay the feeling of gratitude and appreciation for this class. I was very fortunate to be chosen as a studio audience member for this course and what I have taken away from this class will never be forgotten. Kelly pours herself into this class both on the head knowledge of photography and the heart knowledge of building a business and making it work in your life. She is such an amazing soul and I will treasure this experience always. This class is so thorough and works amazingly both all on its own or as a supplement to her other classes. You will not be disappointed. Her knowledge, her demeanor, her care, is brilliant. She pulls you right in, and even as an online viewer/purchaser for the previous two classes, I was able to feel her connection with the audience. She is an amazing teacher!!!! Kelly rocks, Kelly amazes, Kelly loves! Buy it today!!!! You will not regret it!!!!!! And don't forget, purchases get TONS of amazing bonus materials including extra videos and PDF's and manuals. This class is a bargain!!!!!
I really have been so happy & blessed Kelly to learn from you! You are gentle and I love your spirit in which you share your "Art". I am a Nurse and worked Hospice for many years. Many of my co-workers and I recently lost our nursing positions due to department integration and have decided that my passion and love for taking photos of children and babies is something I would like to pursue. I am learning so much Kelly from the way you take the time to gently get the baby in position, follow the baby's lead and enjoy the parents and each moment of the creative process. I am not at all a professional and am just really learning, but am enjoying practicing on my friends children and babies and of course my 4 month and 4 year old grandchildren. Thank you for providing free classes as I would not be able to afford any classes at this time in my life. You have a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing so eloquently! You have made a difference in my life. Patty from AZ

Kelly Brown is a portrait photographer, specializing in newborn and baby portraiture. Her nurturing desire to capture her family as it grows led to launching her business Little Pieces of Photography in 2005.
Around 4 years ago I started on my newborn photography journey. Very quickly I came across Kelly Brown at Little Pieces Photography. I drooled over the exquisite photography and admired everything single thing Kelly did.
She lives in Australia, around the other side of the world and it felt that our paths would never cross. I followed Kelly on social media and on Creative Live. Kelly is an ambassador for the art of newborn photography and a passionate advocate for newborn safety and that always appealed to me. I would drink up every word she said and learned so much from watching and listening to her online. Then this happened!
Newborn training is a huge part of my business. Firstly I put the safety of babies first and also I want to create the best images of your beautiful babies as I can and if I can learn from one of the best in the world then its going to give me and my business a massive boost.
