This March we are shedding light on the experience of motherhood with guest feature Laura Parkin. Laura opens us up to a creative portrait world that is commonly experienced but not well documented; breastfeeding and mother-child bonding portraits.
Laura shows us the importance and value of capturing these memories and how she uses her camera to help normalize nursing and give a welcoming seat at the table for new mothers as they may feel unseen during the first year with their little ones.
She’ll explain her relaxed and welcoming process that are crucial for creating these intimate portraits. For bonding and authentic moments to happen organically with her clients, Laura starts the session off with a cup of tea and relaxed conversation to go over with her client about their journey into motherhood/ breastfeeding to better understand the story she is telling with her art.
Laura teaches us:
- how she works with harsh lighting in a home space
- why home spaces are important
- the different effects that plastic filters can have on lighting
- how she frames her subjects
- how she lights her images to match her iconic style
- how she works with the glaring outdoor sun to create raw and breathtaking portraits.
Mother's Day is just around the corner! If you're looking to break out of the traditional gambit of minis, try a new way of seeing light in a lifestyle setting, or dive into a unique session type that draws upon the authentic story of motherhood this season, this video is it! Laura's video is sure to cultivate a new way of seeing when creating your mother's day portraits this spring!

Rachel Vanoven
I'm Rachel your regular monthly teacher! I live in the good old heart of Indianapolis with my husband, Nick and our little trio of children, Brynn, Nicholas and Josie. I'm always cold, nearly always barefoot, passionate about newborn safety, oversized t-shirts and helping others. I hate cancer, working out and cucumbers (but pickles are cool).
In 2007, I was a stay at home mom who had a knack for using my Konica Minolta camera to take photos of my two (now 3) young children. That hobby slowly bloomed into a small photography business and I took up my first ever client via Craigslist in the spring of 2008. Ten years later, my passion to help other photographers turn hobbies into businesses and businesses into successful careers has been the driving force in creating this industry’s top source of online education.
Each month you'll be seeing me in a brand new video. My videos- while primarily focused on newborns and families, will cover a wide range of topics like posing, studio light, natural light, location, editing, styling and so much more. Plus, I'll be diving in to more eclectic styles from time to time to show you guys how I keep my work developing. All of my teaching videos

ways to learn
What's Inside the Collective?
What makes the Collective
Different
Simply put...EVERYTHING makes this program different, but our favorite part is the adaptive way we serve up fresh content each month. Most online courses will start you at the beginning of the program filmed years ago, leaving you with an ever-evolving gap between you and your peers in this industry.
Having relevant content has been a huge problem in the online education world, which is why so many photographers will take course after course and still feel like they are two steps behind.
Unlike most online courses, the Collective is filmed a couple of months before the release dates with the most current methods trending in the industry instead of starting at you at square one. Inside the Collective you will still have backlog access to all of my recent teachings so you can brush up on past methods while also getting the most current released education for each new month freshly filmed.
The Collective strives to get you the results and skills that are happening in the NOW! Consider this your time machine to a blooming career!
