Mother + Baby | Baton Rouge Lifestyle Photographer

Happy Thursday! If you caught Monday’s post, you know I am sharing with you today a styled shoot from my recent experience at the Fount Workshop. One of my favorite motherhood photographers, Tiffany Farley, created the Fount Workshop as an educational tool to learn more about photographing the art of motherhood. Tiffany along with photographer Rylee Hitchner and designer Abany Bauer put together an educational two-days filled with discussion topics to help us as photographers develop and communicate our styles, five styled shoots centered around maternity and motherhood sessions, and a group of kind and helpful attendees to make the experience very enjoyable.

Now… Let’s to get to some beautiful images… I’m excited to introduce to your today Joanna + Baby Alma who modeled for our motherhood styled shoot!

After spending the morning learning about style + design, we grabbed our camera gear and  headed to one of the homes in the Serenbe community to shoot our motherhood session. We had a group of sixteen photographers, which were divided into four groups to shoot the session. We began by watching Tiffany and Rylee photograph and direct the models. Then my group was up next to photograph.

I was nervous to say the least with this first session. I was shooting with three other talented ladies and here I was not sure exactly what to do. It even took me a minute to get my camera settings right. But, I took a deep breath and just began clicking and after that everything went smoothly.

I am not an emotional person, but this session really touched me. As we began, I felt honored to be able to capture these moments for Joanna and Alma. I was very thankful they took the time to model for us and be a part of this experience. Joanna did a great job at finding the natural poses we were hoping to catch!

We finished with Alma beginning to fall asleep a bit. Some of my favorite photographs feature those chunky legs and baby rolls, which were easy to capture as her mom swayed side to side as we photographed.
