Simple Studio: Toddlers

This was a very useful workshop based on the Toddler's personalities. There were toddlers that ranged from crying meltdowns, to sassy, to silent. The ages varied greatly from pretty new to walking to almost a kid instead. What I gained from watching this was a better understanding of how to keep interaction going with either the camera or a prop and how that relates to getting a great final image. There were times Meg pushed to continue a session and times she switched gears or let a toddler have what they were crying for.
If you aren't comfortable around young children, are unsure how to interact with a toddler, or aren't used to working with them this is a great workshop. It includes 1 edit, from the edit section of the store, and the rest would still need to be purchased.

Another fabulous workshop with toddlers. I used to get so stressed if things weren't going as planned, but now I just wait and let the child have time to be calm. It was so good to see the variety of energy and personalities of each of these children. Kids being kids as only they know how. Some sessions took longer and some finished quickly. It is great that Meg says a session will take as long as it needs to take depending on the child. It was also great to see how she uses her lights. I have a small natural light studio, and use speedlights in an umbrella or constant lights as fill at times. It was helpful to see how she positioned her lights too. I always thought my studio was too small to use a strobe, but seeing this workshop made me think it might be possible. Thank you Meg.

Loved it !

Lover it

Thank you so much Meg for this workshop. You have no idea how much more confident I feel shooting toddlers now. I used to panic when’s they would melt down. Now you’ve shown me some great tools to overcome those situations. Your an awesome teacher!
