New Video Tutorial
This is how I do the “Hands Under The Chin” pose. I’m sure there are other ways, but I thought I would share my “technique”.
A special thanks to Dave and Alisha for letting me use their sweet little baby and for my awesome brother for making the video.
He filmed a lot of this newborn session so I will post more poses later:)
* THANKS FOR EVERYONE’S KIND WORDS. I WILL BE POSTING ANOTHER ONE SOON!
| I just loved your video so much, and it taught me so much. I’m not sure why you pulled it down but, I’d love to share it with a fellow photographer on how to pose newborns. Is there anyway you’d post it again? Thanks, [...] blog.peekaboophotos.com via The Daily Buzz on [...] ( Aug 15th, 2011 1:01 am)Hi Shannon, What kind of pillow/beanbag do you have them sitting in?

A quick question. What are you using underneath the newborn. Is it better to have a hard surface for the elbow to hold the weight or a soft surface? Thanks!

I’m not a photographer in the least bit, so it’s really fun to see just how you do what you do. I can’t wait to see more of you working your magic. ( Nov 12th, 2010 9:05 am)haha that video is hilarious i love that you rock them to sleep on their hands. I still think you must have the magic touch though because i’m pretty sure they are not nearly as cooperative for me! ( Nov 12th, 2010 7:03 am)LOVE! Thanks for the tutorial Thanks for taking the time to share how you do what you do. Love the video…encore?

Thank you for sharing this Kate! I noticed you jiggled her head a little bit. I was just watching a new mom at a baby shower the other night and she was jiggling her baby on her lap and I was thinking how that motion makes me sleepy too. I fall asleep while rocking my baby to sleep every night. Never thought to use it for this pose! Great idea! ( Nov 7th, 2010 7:39 am)That is the cutest video ever! What a little doll to sleep through it all, gotta love that! ( Nov 7th, 2010 7:07 am) |
Thanks so much.
The $ we spent on the session was the best money we have spent on anything. They’re so priceless. Thanks so much! PS. The last pic in this session is awesome! You always have the freshest props/ideas! |

Disappointed that your studio video has been removed. I love your images and your style. I’m a student at New England School of Photography in Boston.
( Feb 26th, 2012 8:49 am)So sad you took this down. : (
( Dec 15th, 2011 4:03 am)I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I love all the pictures you take!!! I also loved the videos and I was so happy you shared all your talent with us. I am so sad when I noticed you removed the videos and like Brock I ask you to reconsider. I wish I could go to your workshop, to learn all those things hands on, but I just live too far away. That was really so generous and nice of you to share your talent, but now I feel sad you took it off
( Dec 2nd, 2011 8:24 pm)Katie, I hope you will reconsider your plan to no longer share teaching information to others through online formats and otherwise outside of your workshops. I am sure you have thought it through fully. I personally follow your blog weekly, although I stopped watching many blogs for the last two months to funnel my attention elsewhere and missed the boat on this wonderful post. I would have loved to see the video.
My two cents on the situation. As a person that attends different expos, and tradeshows on photography and other topics. I have seen this situation before. To spend the high dollar cost for your small group workshops is worth every penny regardless of you helping others out for free or less money. The money spent on a workshop is for small group training, hands on experience and more. the info gained is the reason you spend that much money. When I go to say photoshop world and you are there as a presenter, you will likely share some of the same info that you present in your workshops. well I only spent a few hundred dollars on that. And then you post a few 2 minute videos here and there or make a book and sell it for $30 dollars. That is how you personally grow your teaching skills, and business. That doesn’t devalue your workshops. Any person that would publicly slander your efforts to teach others in any way different then the financial cost that person spent learning with you, didn’t either learn anything or know how to make it work for them in their situation. They should have thought harder about what they were learning and spending their money on first. They paid for the experience of working with you, not for a studio tour. IF you charged them $1800 for a two minute studio tour and they paid it they are fools, but that isn’t what they paid for and they are forgetting that.
Would I love to see this video and any others you planned on sharing? absolutely yes. If not, totally your choice. I don’t know how many workshops you have all ready run, just know you will still fill them up even if you post a 100 informational short videos on here. Because the average person that wants to spend top dollar for a workshop does so not because they would have preferred less informational free videos, rather they know what they want to learn can’t be learned in that format. They need to be there with you learning beside you and that is what they are paying for, and will continue to do so. The most successful high dollar workshop teachers, also teach in many low or no cost formats side by side.
Feel free to explore and do the same you wont regret it. however this decision you might in the future. just say-in.
Thanks for posting.
( Oct 31st, 2011 7:54 am)HI,
( Oct 31st, 2011 5:04 am)Sorry we are removing the videos and won’t be doing any in the near future. We have had some complaints from some of the girls that came to the workshop. Hope everyone understands.
Ok you two are AMAZING! I love all your work! Thanks so much for sharing your studio with us! I can’t wait for the tutorial for the canvas!
( Oct 25th, 2011 5:39 am)I no longer see the link for the studio tour… would love to see it!
( Sep 6th, 2011 4:18 pm)I can’t find the link to see your studio. Is it still on here?
( Sep 5th, 2011 7:26 am)Okay, so maybe it’s just my computer but why aren’t the pictures showing up?
( Sep 5th, 2011 3:22 am)Hi Carly- I use 2 yards of fabric.
( Sep 1st, 2011 3:32 am)Love it Katie, nice to see you!!! Let’s catch up soon. <3
( Sep 1st, 2011 12:38 am)How many yards do you need to get for a single backdrop to fit the frame you guys have shown how to make?
( Sep 1st, 2011 12:31 am)You are too cute katie.
( Aug 31st, 2011 11:02 pm)This is absolutely GENIUS! Thank you for sharing!!!
( Aug 31st, 2011 6:44 pm)thank you for sharing. What size if your octodome?
( Aug 31st, 2011 1:59 pm)Thanks so much for sharing! Would also like to know size/brand of the softbox…and can’t wait for backdrop video….we need to do this but not sure where to start!
( Aug 31st, 2011 8:56 am)Thanks for making that video! Your studio is awesome!!
( Aug 30th, 2011 2:00 pm)Fabulous. Thanks a million for sharing your insider secrets. You’re so generous and kind to do so!
( Aug 29th, 2011 11:57 pm)Katie I am thinking of trading my 4×6 softbox in for a octagon. Can you share what brand yours is? Thanks!
( Aug 28th, 2011 4:07 pm)Love it!! Your studio is amazing!!
( Aug 27th, 2011 4:51 pm)I LOVE all the detail, you guys have thought of EVERYTHING! All the baby supplies, GENIUS! Beautiful studio. Wish I lived in Utah so you can shoot my girls/next baby!
( Aug 27th, 2011 12:13 am)Yay!!! So awesome.
( Aug 26th, 2011 8:59 pm)Your studio is clean!!!!! Oh and so is your office…Ha!
( Aug 26th, 2011 7:06 pm)Ok last questions, where did you get the wooden trees that all of your headbands are on? I think they are white with pegs. Also, the square frames with the black and white images in them? Thanks again for sharing.
( Aug 26th, 2011 4:14 am)Thanks for sharing! Love your fabric frames… where do you like to get your fabric from, your backdrops are awesome!
( Aug 26th, 2011 1:51 am)Thanks for sharing! Beautiful work:)
( Aug 26th, 2011 12:32 am)LOVe the studio!! So practical. Where did you get the headband racks? Great idea!! I can not wait to see the next video on the backdrop.
( Aug 25th, 2011 9:36 pm)Katie how wonderful for you to share that with us! I am dying to go to your workshop! Now to get my husband to make me some of those fabric frames!
( Aug 25th, 2011 8:31 pm)It is so fun to see where all the MAGIC happens! What a beautiful studio you have! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
( Aug 25th, 2011 6:50 pm)Your studio is fabulous! I was wondering what lighting you use. Thanks so much for sharing.
( Aug 25th, 2011 5:35 pm)It is a awesome studio. I’ve always thought so. Beautiful.
( Aug 25th, 2011 4:18 pm)I cant wait to see the fabric frames video!
( Aug 25th, 2011 3:42 pm)Love your space! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Katie! Love seeing your studio.
( Aug 25th, 2011 1:29 pm)Thank you a million times! I loved seeing your video of your studio and your fabric frame backdrop things are genius!
( Aug 25th, 2011 5:19 am)Extremely generous of you to share. I like to compare great photographers to Iron Chefs – just because you share your recipe does not mean someone else can bake the cake. Hope that makes some sense. I want to thank you for being willing to share your recipes, Iron Chef Peekaboo!
( Aug 25th, 2011 5:14 am)Kate, you are so cute! (and so nice to share all your secrets!)
( Aug 25th, 2011 5:12 am)Katie, you are SO generous to share this information! It’s fun to see a sneak peek of the studio and I must say it’s pretty sweet!!!
( Aug 25th, 2011 4:52 am)
