Gain the skills and confidence to photograph newborns

Studio Linzie is a one-stop shop with education, props and presets for all your photography needs.

When I first started out, everything was so secretive. Having spent four years at college studying photography in film, by the time I decided I wanted to make it as a career, technology had changed, and we had gone digital. I had to relearn it all again. But now, the photography community has transformed, and the knowledge of how to edit and which props to use is no longer a secret. You have the power to access all the info you need right here from Studio Linzie!

Here I have created a community for you. You can add so much to your business in one place. If you are looking for education, please click on the link below:

Newborn Beanbag Posing Guide

This PDF guide has been written to help you understand the angles, wrapping, posing and lighting for a newborn on the beanbag.  

With 48 pages of information to help guide you through your session.  Understanding basics like camera settings, the right lens, and workflow.  In this guide you will see how I plan the sessions, with a single newborn and with a family & siblings. How I angle and position myself and how I create the poses using the wraps.  

Poses included are the womb pose, a natural pose with a loose wrap or blanket, side lying pose and using parents hands, the tummy pose, the burp pose, capturing babies that are awake , hands around the baby, macro shots and siblings. 

There is also a page on safety and hygiene which is so important. 

A great guide to help those who are starting out have a better understanding in posing and creating beautiful newborn images for your clients.

Testimonial…

“Linzie's online workshop provided me with many tips and tricks to help with taking and editing my newborn photos, and also gave me more confidence going into shoots with new parents and babies. I especially loved learning quick but effective editing tricks that make all the difference in the final stages of Lightroom editing before sending my galleries off. The online option is great for people like myself who are unable to attend the in-person workshops. Thank you Linzie!” - Ashleigh

I have been following your work for years. I've always dreamed of photos as beautiful as yours. Your course is simply amazing. It is comprehensible even to those who do not understand everything in English. She moved me to where no one here would have taken me. Thanks to your course, I photograph babies naturally, without lengthy and difficult positioning. Your workshop was the best investment! Thanks for all the advice and help.

“I attended Linzie’s London workshop to add another dimension to my newborn sessions and to feel more confident with babies on the beanbag as my style was very lifestyle orientated.

Linzie is the most open, warm and genuine person I have met. Nothing is too much and she’s a complete open book, she makes you feel comfortable and fills you with confidence to achieve what you want to do.

I have implemented everything I learnt into my newborn sessions and it has added another layer to give my clients a beautiful and diverse gallery of images.

If you’re thinking about investing in your education but are wondering if you should spend the money then I would honestly say it would be worth every penny and you would leave a workshop with Linzie armed with everything you need to further your career, from how to pose your subjects, managing your business, editing and marketing yourself through your website, social media, etc.

I have also met a lovely group of like minded photographers who also attended the workshop, we have set up a group together to chat and support each other on our journey.

Thank you Linzie for an amazing experience and all of your support.”

“I genuinely don’t think I’d be at a point where I’m fully booked for the rest of the year if I hadn’t met you. You’ve been such a huge support.”
