“Lauren and Sarah’s workshop took my work to the next level. I felt much more confident and comfortable working and posing newborns.” – Jessica Sarah: Homestead, FL
“I can’t say enough good things about my mentoring session with Lauren. I went in with very little experience with newborn posing and Lauren was very patient in teaching me not only how to achieve the poses but also emphasized safety with each pose. She is patient, thorough, and gave me immediate feedback as we were shooting on my camera angles and technique. The most valuable part by far has been her ongoing support. I have had tons of questions as I go along implementing what I learned from her. She is always happy to answer my questions and provide critiques to my images on posing and/or editing. I am still learning and growing with her help. This was the best investment I have made in my business so far! If you are considering mentoring with Lauren, don’t wait any longer. Your business will grow by leaps and bounds with her guidance!” – Ashley Yates: Houston, TX
“I’m so glad I chose this workshop. I learned so much and was able to apply the skills to my business immediately. Hands on practice, step by step instructions from start to finish, bouncing ideas and scenarios of each other, suppliers, business, ethics, profit, and more were covered. I also appreciated the professional yet relaxed environment. Lauren is a genuinely sweet and helpful person. I’m amazed that even after the workshop she continues to provide her insight and knowledge of years of practice and expertise. Worth the investment!” – Stefanie Lebron: Brownsville, TX
