Family Posing Mini-Course

A Brand New Course!

filed in:

Family Posing Mini-Course

I said for SO LONG that I could never be a family photographer because I was SURE that what made me a great wedding photographer wouldn’t transfer to family photos….

I thought family photography would…..

 

Take away my control. 

Kill my creativity with composition

And overall just make me resent 

getting behind my camera!

 

But what I have found since getting back into it (a DECADE LATER) is that I was 

SO WRONG!!

 

Not only have I realized that what makes me a great wedding photographer is 100% transferable to family photography, I have found the MISSING PIECE to my family photography puzzle that I struggled with for SO long and I’m sharing it today on Youtube!!! 

 

Watch the Youtube video below to get a sneak peek into the course! 

 

How is this different from the KJ Posing Course?

This is ALL NEW material! Family photography is VERY different from couples, simply because you cannot control how a baby/ toddler will act during a session.. so that is why this course has an outline of poses to start with but PIVOTS that will be necessary during meltdowns!

 

Are the families featured in KJ All Access?

No! The content in this course is new and tailored specifically for the course. You’ll see examples with 1, 2, 3 and 4 kids!

This week, Michael is sitting down with me at the microphone to join me on the podcast! When we started our Acton Academy journey, we had big dreams and very little idea of the practical challenges that lay ahead. Today, in year three of running our own Acton Academy, Michael and I are thrilled to reflect on the incredible transformation we’ve seen in our learners, our community, and even our own perspectives on education.
