They don’t realize it, but their experience with you is what actually creates powerful imagery and images that you both will cherish. I’ve built a brand known for my glow, my light and the dreamy feel of my images, but what most photographers overlook is that my images would not be what they are without the experience I give my clients during their shoot. 

Your clients want more than just a pretty picture...
YOU want more than pretty pictures. This isn't your typical Christmas card photo posing system.

Glowy light
beautiful outfits
gorgeous hair and makeup...

none of it matters

If your client looks & feels...

Awkward

Does this sound

  • You find yourself saying, "Everybody say cheese!" throughout a session just trying to get some smiles, but they end up looking forced and fake.
  • You are guiding your clients to poses that are unflattering and the end results is mamas aren't loving how they look, thus not framing them or referring you to their friends. 
  • Your sessions quickly get out of control with littles losing focus or refusing to cooperate. Everyone leaves feeling flustered and it's not the best experience for anyone. 
  • You know you love photographing toddlers for that one sweet moment, but you aren't sure how to dive deeper and get more of THAT!

The Playful Posing Course is a game changer for family photographers, especially those who work with young children and toddlers. Amber is a master of her craft, full of brilliant ideas and well tested methods that have proved immensely helpful in my own work. The methods in this course set you up for success regardless of the situation. It allows you to take control in a way that puts parents at ease and brings smiles to the faces of even the toughest of strong willed littles. Amber offers prompts for play in combination with very thoughtful, flattering posing techniques. Every client I've had since taking this course has been over the moon with the results. They love the play, the tender moments, the joy, connection, AND how they look. I can now go into a session and know exactly what to do, and what to say, in order to get the best results. The investment in the course has been worth it in every way possible!

WOW- What a Gem! Playful Posing combines the art, science and psychology of stunning, impactful family posing. The course walks you through how to nurture and empower families into flattering, natural posing. If you have ever encountered an energetic or antsy toddler, Amber's process in pivoting to regain control when things don't go quite as planned is a life saver! After completing this course, I feel both empowered and confident directing my families and mamas into artful posing. Unlike other courses and material on the topic, this course goes beyond just the Poses and Prompts. Amber covers why getting to know the client beforehand is important and how to do so, the "why" behind why a pose works, Amber's culling theory for delivering a gallery of images that tells a story, why your tone and choice of words matter PLUS how to gently redirect children and regain control of a child/toddler who wanders...

I love how the Light Livin guide goes beyond only showing students how to pose their subjects for photographs. It digs deeply into the craft of producing organic and real moments. In addition to offering strategies for achieving sincere interactions and reactions, the course and guide discusses the significance of connection and emotion in photography. I was struggling with always capturing the same few poses each session. I felt I was giving the same directions over and over and I was getting burnt out and feeling uncreative during shoots. Thanks to your prompts and directions shared, I now have a plethora of poses and prompts to pull from and keep each session fresh and new. They are simple and easy to follow and remember but make such a huge difference when you are on location and shooting. Now I don’t leave for session without my bag of tricks to make sure I get those shots of the kids that my clients cannot wait to hang on their walls.

I learned so much from the Playful Posing Course. I especially loved the maternity section and how to direct mamas into beautiful flattering positions. I genuinely loved that it was videos rather than just a PDF attachment like other courses I’ve purchased. I’m such a visual person, so it was easier to recall poses because of the videos and work flow. With other courses that are PDF heavy, it's easy to forget what’s next when you're in the moment and juggling a few different aspects of the overall session. Seeing actual visuals of Amber working with actual families and applying the prompts was so beneficial! It was a wonderful investment for my business and has high-quality one-on-one types of interactions and examples. I believe Amber was able to fine tune something so incredibly different from anything I’ve seen/purchased in the posing course world and elevated the quality by including videos. I definitely feel like it was an amazing, well-rounded course and so worth the investment, I loved the whole thing!

I've been doing photography for almost a decade and have my go-to poses, however I've been needing more variety for my family clients. This course was perfect because it was easy to digest and it gave my family sessions new life. After taking this course I have much more control and confidence going into family sessions. I feel more prepared going into a family session while my clients feel more at ease and get more variety in their final gallery. This course is different from others I've taken because Amber makes the content easy to follow, gives you real-life examples, and has a beautiful mix of posing! I highly recommend this course whether you're a new photographer with little experience or a seasoned photographer who wants to give your posing system a breath of fresh air!
