In this video, I’m walking you through my full newborn posing flow on the posing bed (also known as the beanbag). These are the traditional wrapped poses I use in almost every session, shown in the exact order I photograph them.
You’ll see multiple camera angles, including point of view and side angles, so you can clearly see how I transition baby safely and smoothly between poses.
My goal is to help you feel more confident working with newborns, understand natural transitions, and refine your posing flow for a smoother session start to finish.
