July class

We had such a wonderful class the last weekend of July.  So many great photographers and more than a handful of precious newborns.  We did deal with a bit of a heat wave in Omaha, but as we sweat the newborns slept so peacefully!  A perfect environment for them to sleep away their modeling time.  And now on to our cute models, the stars of this little class we do.  I wanted to do a post to show all the variety that we show during the 2 days of class.  Lots of bean bag posing, prop use, wrapped and hanging… done many times to help each photographer learn as much as possible!

Also new dates for 2011 have been added to the schedule, so please check out the blog post below this one!

new class options and new dates for 2011

All classes for 2010 are full and if you are still interested in a date for this year please email me to be added to the waiting list.  I have had many, many emails on inquiries for the 2011 schedule.  Thank you everyone for your interest in our class!  We really do love teaching newborn posing and feel extremely honored to meet so many photographers from all around the world.  As some may know I am expecting my third baby boy in November so I will be taking a few months off from our class schedule to enjoy his arrival and of course spend countless hours in the studio with a few new ideas to try!  Tracy and I have made a few changes to class for 2011 and have added a new small group class to go along with the large group class.  This should meet the needs of each photographer depending on what you are really wanting to gain from our baby posing class.  Please see the details below for each type of class and for registration process please click on the info tab above in the menu, then to details.

 

We had an amazing class this past weekend and will have a very large blog post of images to share.  It was a hot one in Omaha this past weekend and even with the air conditioner running it felt like a tropical heat wave.  Perfect for the babies and ideal sleeping conditions but a sweat fest for all of us with cameras!

CLASS DETAILS:

                Two day large group class |  class size is limited to 15 photographers.  This class is geared for those that want as much time working on camera technique and seeing newborn posing with a variety of set-ups in a group setting.  During the two days we spend 11+ hours with 6 newborns working on camera technique, set-ups (including bean bag posing, props, hanging and handheld shots), proper use of natural light, soothing techniques with posing, and digital workflow.  Each photographer will take images at class to promote their newborn portfolio as well as to practice applying the tools learned in the Photoshop portion of class.  Attendees will receive Kelley’s black and white conversion and newborn color action for Photoshop.  Total tuition is $2100 and a $300 deposit is required to reserve your spot.

 

                One day small group class | class size is limited to 5 photographers.  This class is geared for those that want more individual guidance and opportunity working on camera technique and perfecting posing.  We cover all the material covered in the 2 day class with a more individualized agenda meeting the needs of each photographer.  We spend 6+ hours posing newborns and 2+ hours on digital workflow.  Attendees will receive Kelley’s black and white conversion and newborn color action for Photoshop.  Total tuition is $1900 and a deposit of $300 is required to reserve your spot.

 

                One day private class  | this class is offered to photographers that have already attended our baby posing class and want more opportunity to fine tune their newborn posing, camera technique and Photoshop skills.  The private class is geared to the photographers individual needs and focuses on hands-on-posing and requested set-ups.  This class is on a limited basis depending on our schedules.  Total tuition is $2000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

June class

This past weekend we had yet another lovely workshop in my studio.  We spent over 11 hours posing newborns in the two days and we heard not a peep from our sweet little models!  All were such sound, peaceful sleepers.  As always, a special thanks to our parents for bringing their little ones for us to pose.  We are so appreciative for the time they take to help out with class.  Now on to the beauty… and all the photographers that attended know that they don’t want to see us with the sweat fest we had going on in the hot studio thanks in part to the humid heat from the weekends weather in Omaha!  It was a pleasure to meet all those that attended and such a joy to witness all those eye-opening moments with new knowledge learned!

We are on the look-out for models (especially those with darker skin and ethnic backgrounds, specifically:  African American, Asian and Hispanic newborns) this summer season for outdoor set-ups.  If you are having a baby this summer or know friends or family welcoming a new little one, please have them email me at kelleyryden@gmail.com for more details.  Models must be under 2 weeks of age and these sessions will be for one set-up at an outside location.

round two

Spent the day with Ashley Minton last week.  She attended our baby posing class and wanted to come back for some fine tuning!  We had a great time in the studio and two beautiful little girls to pose!  Tracy and I only offer the private class to those that have already attended our main workshop.  It’s always so much fun to catch up with photographers that we have met and see their progress. 

more fun business… did an interview for Moms with cameras.  Go check that out.  Emily will be attending our baby posing class this month and we can’t wait to meet her!

And as always we are on the lookout for newborn models for our June 26-27th class.  Newborns must be under 2 weeks of age for class.  If you know anyone pregnant and due shortly please email me at kelleyryden@gmail.com

 Now on to the models…

Nicki Newton - What a wonderful experience. Cyline is my beautiful niece, If you couldn't tell I'm a little partial. However, I want to say thank you to everyone in the room that day that made it such a wonderful experience and thank you to my wonderful sister-in-law for allowing me to "tag along". You ladies do wonderful work!!!!!May 19, 2010 - 4:38 pm

Jennifer O. - Oh great, thanks for making me want another baby! LOL!May 19, 2010 - 6:23 pm

Keiko - Thank you so much Kelley and Tracy! I learned so much and really enjoyed watching you guys work with the babies! The photoshop lesson was also very helpful : ) Cheers! xxMay 19, 2010 - 11:02 pm

Lynn - These photos are soooo gorgeous!!! I only wish I could find a posing class out here on the East Coast!!!!! :)May 20, 2010 - 7:18 am

Misty - I love these new ones! I think I need to stretch my fabric out further back i'm still not getting this depth of field, but as always you guys are AMAZING!!May 20, 2010 - 7:23 am

Monica Martin - It's just a pure pleasure pouring over your gorgeous images on your blog! What sweet little blessings! You guys are fantastic and make these somehow look so effortless. Your attendees must be thrilled!May 20, 2010 - 7:26 am

Jennifer Gross - AMAZING... I have been truly at a loss for words to explain this inspiring experience. Kelley and Tracy have a gift like no other I have ever experienced. Their work is truly a rare talent! Being a new photographer, I was so encouraged by the wealth of information that was shared about posing, camera etiquette and photoshop technique (to name just a few). Their interpersonal relationship with the parents is wonderful and all were at ease! Their straight forward, no nonsense teaching style is just what I needed to grow and learn as much as I could in such a brief amount of time. I would not only recommend this class to every photographer, but would also tell them that this class is worth at least double the cost. I can't wait to use my newly learned skills! Thanks again Kelley and Tracy, this truly was an outstanding experience. I am thankful to have been able to study under you.May 20, 2010 - 11:13 am

Samantha Lacombe - This class was a dream come true for me. I have admired (aka drooled) over your work for the past year. Trying on my own to emulate your work was not working & so frustrating! Having spent the weekend watching you both work has opened my eyes & truly inspired me to explore all the new possiblities! I am so thankful for the ease & hands on approach of your class. The wealth of information you shared is amazing! Can't thank you enough!!...I still love my canon...lol. SamMay 21, 2010 - 9:19 am

Kelley Ryden - Hi Cynthia. All the newborns have their names before their images! KelleyMay 30, 2010 - 6:27 am

Kerry Sundahl - I had such a wonderful time at this workshop. I have been an admirer of Kelley and Tracy for a long time. Newborns are my favorite subjects to photograph and it is my dream to be an exclusive newborn photographer. Watching Kelley and Tracy work was so incredibly inspiring. The way they calm and soothe the babies while getting them into the most fantastic poses is just amazing. I loved how open and willing they were to share any and all of their secrets. The workshop was worth every penny I paid. I just wish it would have lasted longer. Now I am trying to figure out a way just to get to spend some more time watching them work! Thanks again to Kelley and Tracy.June 4, 2010 - 2:27 pm

January 2010 class

So I have to say I was a bit nervous about the weather for our class this past weekend!  We had snow piles as tall as the windows in my studio and record cold conditions for January.  Yikes, so bitterly cold and so much snow.  I have to give my husband a special thank you for doing such a great job clearing the snow and keeping us warm… thanks Kevin!!  We had such a wonderful class with 13 lovely photographers and 6 gorgeous models.  Thanks to all the parents for braving the cold and snow to bring your new little ones to my studio.  Everyone was on time (and even early) and so eager to have their new baby as a model.  As a special thanks to you parents, Tracy and I have a package heading your way next week!  And now a progression of our wonderful class.

day 1 model 1, Brooks at 10 days old.  We always start the class with bean bag posing and he did great!  tracy-raver-photography_3511c_blog

michelle chandler - all I can say is wow. Words can only begin to describe how amazing your workshop was. I am so happy I made the choice to track half way across the country to see the most amazing newborn photographers ever! As you know there are choices in trainings but by far even before I met you or had even spoke to either of you I knew you were the ones. It is not often that photographers ever take the time to help those in need of guidance. You two pride yourself and on helping others and truly building relationships and that is what makes you stand out above the rest. You both are an inspiration and are truly the best!!! Thanks so much in helping me with my endeavor in building my business. I cant wait to go back with my new confidence and implement your training magic. Thanks so much and keep doing what your doing because you guys are changing the world one photographer at a time!January 12, 2010 - 11:20 pm

Bil Harris - The Workshop was incredible. Your ability to communicate the art and craft of newborn photography exceeded all of our expectations. We were immediately engaged by your joy of working with the first model and that continued throughout all the sessions including even the Photoshop tutorials at the end. You and Tracy reveal a profound generosity of spirit as you share your methods. Robin and I recommend your workshop without reservation.January 13, 2010 - 1:12 pm

andi laine - simply perfection! I can't say enough how wonderful you two are. You make this look so easy and effortless. I still can't believe we went through 6 babies and not a one cried during their session. You truly are the "baby whisperers". Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to teach us. You're my heros :)January 13, 2010 - 5:26 pm

Bonnie Romano - OMG where to begin. AMAZING!!! I learned so much. From posing to proper exposure tips and creamy, beautiful looking post processing. Best of all I learned so many little secrets to soothing and working with these beautiful little miracles! I enjoyed every aspect of the workshop. Unlike other workshops that I've attended, I felt like there was no holding back. You shared every bit of your knowledge with us and gave us all the information we need to experience the level of success that you have worked so hard to achieve. I left feeling inspired, knowledgeable and revived!!! Thanks to both of your families too! I know it's a sacrifice to spend your entire weekend with so many curious minds! I so appreciate your willingness to help us all learn and grow!January 13, 2010 - 9:01 pm

Gaby Clark - I can only say I just been to a photographer's heaven! A cold heaven ;o) We learned all the secrets for newborn posing, camera settings and how to keep the baby calm, and even how to make our own props! This was only possible to the generosity and willingness of Kelley and Tracy to share all their knowledge. I think this is one of the best decisions I made in my career as a photographer. Thanks for such a wonderful class!!January 13, 2010 - 10:30 pm
