Newborn photography is THE hot niche at this time. Navigating the “cheap photographer arena” is the main hurdle as this is where the largest flood of new and inexperienced photographers is jumping in.

Maternity has become a lost art and a commonly missed or avoided client. It is the hardest client to book but the most important to capture! The pregnant mother will connect with you before their babies’ arrival and stay with you through their family’s growth.

How do you connect with this mass of moms who are not considering maternity photos but already shopping for their newborn photographer? How can maternity photography give the edge above other newborn photographers and the connection before the newborn shoot? How can maternity photos bump that newborn sale?

This is not a program of straight technical talk on posing and shooting. This is how to tap that maternity and newborn market. Also, how to connect with these clients and how to take your studio to the next level through maternity and newborns.

Bree will discuss how she separates herself from every newborn photographer in her area including the photographers down the street from her that is 1/3 the price.

She will be an open book on her style in maternity photography and how she makes her maternity session a must have for every expectant mother and how she keeps them coming back in a world of other photographers stuck in the shoot and burn weekend warrior world we are surrounded by.
