HOW MANY VIDEOS ARE INCLUDED?
100+ videos covering posing, lighting, angles, editing, workflow, etc. We’ve photographed in the ballpark of 50 babies for this group, with all replays organized for easy access. All videos have captions when viewed as a replay (captions are not available during live videos).


WHO CAN JOIN?
All experience levels are welcome—newbies to seasoned pros. There are no location restrictions, all are welcome!


HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS?
Once you join, you get immediate and lifetime access (we reserve the right to boot anyone who causes drama or violates privacy rules).


WHAT'S THE VIDEO QUALITY?
iPhone Facebook Lives—uncut, unedited, real. Babies cry, we chat, you sit with us if you're watching live or you can fast-forward during the replay. We tend to answer a lot of questions during feeding times, so don't overdo the fast-forward button!


WHEN DO YOU ADD NEW CONTENT?
We have no set schedule and no guaranteed number of new sessions per year. You’ll have access to hundreds of videos right away, plus any future live sessions that we do. You don’t need to watch live to see them later!


WHERE DO I WATCH?
Live videos take place in our private Facebook group, then all videos are uploaded to a separate platform (browser + app) where videos are organized and easy to find.


DO YOU GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM?
You can ask for CC in the private group; members can (and do!) chime in to help each other. Feedback from admins isn’t guaranteed, though the vast majority of the time a group member answers the same way an admin would before we even see the question!


HOW IN DEPTH DO YOU GO?
Every baby is different—sometimes deep dives, sometimes quick problem-solving. Many poses are shown multiple ways so you see different approaches.


WILL I DEFINITELY IMPROVE?
We hope so, but of course that's on you! We share everything we can think of, but progress comes from practice, dedication to your craft and applying what you've learned. We believe everyone can become amazing newborn photographers, we just give the roadmap to help you get there faster.

The real question is....can you tolerate us?!


Hi! We're Erin & Theresa (“Rosebud”), owners of HLP and the folks you'll be learning from in Hello Little Education. Together we've photographed well over 1,000+ newborns!

We've heard that people chose to learn from us because we aren't overly polished and keep it real, BUT you should know that we swear, we have a spicy sense of humor and sometimes a dark joke here and there gets us through the day. If you prefer squeaky clean teachers who get achy ovaries from seeing a baby, we might not be for you. If cuss words bug you, we're definitely not the best fit because we just can't stop with the fucking swearing. You've been warned.

Our shining personalities aside, we share literally every thought that has ever come up during our journey as newborn photographers and care deeply about everyone who joins this group!

You included.

Wanna know EXACTLY what you're getting?

Here's a breakdown of every module in HLE. When we said there was a lot of content, we weren't kidding!

Module 1: All About This Course & Getting Started

Start off on the right foot with everything you need to feel confident in this course. You’ll get to know your instructors, Theresa & Erin, and learn how to navigate the course for the best experience.

We’ll walk you through the gear and camera settings we recommend, share a handy glossary of poses, and give you a summary of our top tips. Plus, we’ll settle the age-old debate - what really matters more, lighting or posing?

This module is all about giving you the foundation to dive in with clarity and confidence. Every section in Module 1 is written so you can easily reference all of the information throughout your journey.

Module 2: All About Safety

We discuss safety throughout our videos and show how we safely handle newborns, but this module really nails our basic views on safety during newborn sessions. It's worth a read for every member!

Module 3: All About Lighting

In this module we share a variety of visual aids and videos to help you understand one of the hardest parts of photography to really grasp - light.

We also introduce you to "parallel light" which is a term we coined when learning how to teach light in a way that keeps it simple. There's a feather duster involved. It's a whole thing.

Aside from this dedicated module, we discuss lighting throughout every video in this course.

Module 4: All About Angles

Angles are also something we discuss throughout just about every pose in every video, but we also gave it its own module with a dedicated video and written guide to help you nail your angles every time.

Module 5: Before The Session

Our sessions are always styled and planned with intention. In this module, we share several videos that walk you through how we plan our sessions, how we style for them and how we set up our various stations. As always, our videos were filmed live and include interaction with the group members throughout the videos!

Module 6: Posing & Wrapping

This module is the beefiest of them all. This is where you'll find all of our live sessions with babies! Here's a breakdown of what you can expect to see....buckle up!

We start with a visual guide of some general tips and things we always look for and also have a couple videos showing how we use Shape Shifters without a baby to distract us.

Below is breakdown of the various poses we cover and how many different videos cover that pose with different babies. Many poses also have written guides for an extra visual, plus easy access to the shape shifter guide for that pose!

>Froggy: 22 videos
>Forward Facing (either on a drop or in a prop): 26 videos
>Side Lying: 14 videos
>Butt up: 12 videos
>Egg Wrap: 8 videos
>Taco: 4 videos
>Various Wrap Styles: 18 videos
>Willy Wonka/Blanket Tower: 10 videos
>Mugshots: 12 videos
>Macros: 3 videos
>Baby in Bucket: 14 videos
>Baby in Posing Prop: 37 videos
>Unposed: 5 videos
>Family/Parent/Sibling: 22 videos

Module 7: Observe Full Client Sessions

We've had several paying clients who allowed us to film their entire session for this group. Think of these videos as a peek into real life! We mostly just move the camera around to show you what we're doing, but keep our focus on the clients. We answer some questions when we can here and there, but these are not "teaching" videos in the same way those in Module 6 are. Think of it like a spy cam!

Module 8: Sitters

Full disclosure: we only filmed 2 sitter sessions! You can see how we interact, set up the light, etc. Most sitters hate us, though, so we only have these 2 little babies to show you!

Module 9: Editing

We have 19 editing videos in this module covering everything from culling to our final edits. We include some of our favorite little tricks, a fun "edit with me" and exactly how we prep for soft proofing.

Module 10: Guest Teachers

We've been lucky to get a handful of crazy talented guest teachers to do live sessions for the group. They cover everything from twins to how to make a stunning balloon garland to mastering tricky wraps and set ups.

Module 11: Miscellaneous

In this module we have some random live videos that we felt were worth saving - we talk business, we talk ordering appointment, and in some we just....talk. Throw these on during your editing marathon and get a few extra tips and tricks!

Real members and their real thoughts!

Before & After

"I really have to scream my appreciation from the rooftops for Hello Little Education. I am so so grateful for the growth it helped me achieve in my posing, lighting and editing skills. Once I dove into the videos, I was better able to pick apart the problem areas in my images and see what I needed to work on. Also, I think one of my favorite aspects of the Education is that it's a lifetime membership-- which helps give me the opportunity to continue to work on my own growth!! A huge thank you to HLP Ed!!" - Carrie

Before & After

"Earlier this year I invested in Hello Little Education, and I can’t believe how much it’s changed my work over the past 8 months. After a decade of photographing newborns, I thought I had it all “figured out,” or would get there eventually.

The difference in my sessions has been night and day. I preplan all of my sessions totally different now, I trained my bestie to hire her on as an assistant after seeing how much easier it could make my life, I no longer feel like I’m going to have a panic attack before EVERY session (yes this was a legit problem for 10 years). I have so much more confidence in my lighting and posing, and overall my images just feel elevated. It’s funny to admit all of that after 10 years in the industry, but I clearly still had a thing or two to learn. Sometimes growth means humbling yourself enough to go back to the basics and sharpen your skills. I’m SO glad I did." -Patricia
