Here is the description:
You know all the right acupressure points. You’ve taken the massage class. You know when to be funny and when to be silent. You wipe the mucous from her legs, the sweat from her brow, and the poo from her, well, you know. But do you know how to take birth photos that work every time?
Are your photos consistently blurry, or have you struggled with an older digital camera that takes the photo a few seconds too late? Can you pick up any camera from a disposable point-and-shoot to an intimidating SLR and capture the intensity, joy, achingly slow and startlingly fast moments of birth? Your clients may remember your words and your touch, but the longest lasting memories will be the photos of the birth — the ones they keep to themselves, AND the ones they share with the world.
Come learn how to best use your camera during a birth:
• What settings work best on your camera
• The basics of any camera that is handed to you.
• Photographing in Low light
• Capturing the details and removing the background
• Getting some shots that really reflect how elegant, sexy, powerful, capable, and strong the birthing mom was during the action, and that show the birth partner and birth attendants looking good, too
• Getting good nursing photos – more baby, less blanket!
A Certificate of Attendance will be presented for use with ALACE and ICTC CEUs.
Modern Mom picked our photo for their March photo contest and the photo is in this month’s magazine.
