Children are not professional models, nor even enthusiastic about posing. While children are 
inherently beautiful, they aren’t naturals at sitting still. This creates a hurdle for 
photographers attempting to capture the personalities of younger, restless subjects. However, 
it’s not impossible to get a child to pose for the camera — you just have to speak their language.

After more than ten years of shooting, celebrated children's photographer Tamara Lackey has 
developed a language for effectively communicating with her younger clients. In this 3-day 
course, you will learn Tamara’s 10-point system designed to secure gorgeous, expressive images 
— including her formula for building to “the final shot.”

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be armed with a toolkit of tried-and-true methods easily 
adaptable to your own style of shooting, transforming your children’s photography practice 
into a seamless workflow.
