Simply Posed
A complete guide to baby led newborn and family posing
I know that a lot of photographers cringe when they hear the word "posing". Nobody wants stiff and unnatural photos! I know I don't!
But the truth is when done right posing can look completely natural! And having a posing system in place helps your entire session run smoother, resulting in better photos and happier clients!
A Complete Studio Workflow
I've been a newborn and family photographer for almost 20 years! In that time, I've developed a system for simply posed newborn and family photography that is safe, efficient and (most importantly) beautiful!
This is the system I use every day in my studio and that you can use too, whether you work in a studio, in your client's homes or on location.
Baby Led Posing For Newborns
My system uses a baby-led approach for newborns which means I only use positions that newborns are meant to be in. No unnatural poses or props here! Just babies, being babies, in a safe and comfortable way!
Naturally Inspired Posing For Families
My system also uses naturally inspired posing for families and older children, resulting in images that look candid and relaxed.

What people are saying
"I purchased the course yesterday morning, just in time for my 1pm newborn session! The session went smoothly and I loved being able to explain why I'm minimal. I was always at a loss when trying to explain to clients why I don't pose and always thought I wasn't a good newborn photographer because I didn't pose! I'm pretty good at standing my ground, but this class gave me the confidence to stick to my roots!"
- Stefanie Russo
"This workshop has given me simple, streamlined way to guide the families into posing that doesn’t feel so “contorted” or unnatural. I always felt that posing just meant unnatural, but Sandra has shown me it doesn’t have to be!"
- Katie Golobic
