Janet will explain and help you to use the camera that you bring, and also provide a list of recommended digital cameras if you are thinking of buying a better one. All lighting is done with tungsten and daylight, to avoid startling the babies with flash.

This fun and informative workshop is intended as an educational morning out for both parents and babies. Playpen and baby changing facilities are provided, as well as a kitchen with fridge and water heating, and a large private bathroom.

Please bring your own existing photos to look through, and discuss with Janet what makes a good photo. You can come for as much or as little of the 3- hour session as you like, and by booking more than one session, Janet can help you maximise your improvement as a baby photographer.

Janet Baker is a qualified child photographer, and mother, and will show you her portfolio of her daughter Madeline. She is very good at teaching groups in a friendly and relaxed style, and will make you feel very welcome. Age group for babies is 0-12 months (see ‘Mother Toddler Photo Group’ for older children).

N.B. While the College is a safe environment for parents and babies, all minors are the sole responsibility of the accompanying parent or guardian at all times, and the College will accept no liability for any damage or accident, howsoever caused.
