In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create stunning newborn portraits using both natural light for lifestyle sessions and studio lighting for posed setups. We’ll cover everything from preparing parents and setting up props to camera settings, lighting direction, wrapping techniques, and newborn posing with family and props. You’ll also learn a structured, baby-led workflow to keep the newborn comfortable throughout the session. Post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop will be covered, along with essential tools for flawless retouching.

Learn how to edit portraits like a pro using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop in this hands-on workshop. We will start in Lightroom, covering basics such as importing, organizing, color correction, and skin tone adjustments. We will demonstrate how to import presets and create our own. Then, we’ll move into Photoshop for more detailed retouching, including removing blemishes, smoothing skin using frequency separation, reshaping with Liquify, using layers and masks, and enhancing light and shadows with dodge and burn tools. You’ll also learn how to clean up backgrounds and sharpen images for a polished, professional look. This workshop is perfect for photographers who want to streamline their editing process and improve their portraits with easy, effective techniques.
