I'm Lynne, newborn and portrait photographer, proud mum of two girls, and work from my home studio in Ayrshire Scotland. I have a passion for learning and would love to help you as your newborn photography mentor to improve your photography and editing skills in whatever areas you need in order for you to achieve your goals. I am incredibly proud to be Scotland’s only Master Craftsman in newborn photography and was awarded the title of Newborn and Baby Photographer of the Year 2019 along with the title of Overall 'All-Round' Photographer of the Year 2019 with the Guild of Photographers. I also achieved Runner-up People Photographer of the Year 2019 along with Winner and Runner-up Newborn Image of the Year and Runner-up People Image of the Year 2019. Mentoring has played such a huge part in my achievements. There have been times that I knew I needed to improve in a particular area and so I sought out a mentor, and other times when I just felt stuck in a rut and producing the same images over and over and needed inspiration and a new drive to step it up a gear. Whatever stage you are at in your journey, I'd love to help you. |
1-2-1 ONLINE NEWBORN MENTORING - £99
Whether you dream of of a full-time career as a newborn photographer, are struggling to find your signature style, or just need to refine your already great work, training and mentoring with a newborn photography trainer can be the key to increasing your confidence and achieving your goals.
Online mentoring has played a huge part in my success, and throughout my journey I have found that having a trusted newborn mentor has really helped to boost my confidence and has challenged me in the areas that I've needed to focus on and improve. This is why I would now like to give back and support others to improve and achieve their newborn photography goals. My 1-2-1 mentoring options allows us to build a trusting relationship, gives me the opportunity to support you over a period of time and watch you grow as a photographer as we set goals for you and work towards.
In my online mentoring sessions, we will work together to improve and refine your images. I will ask you to send me a selection of your images in advance, which I will critique for you before we go through them on a shared screen in your session. I will talk you through the changes that you can make with regards to lighting, styling, posing and editing and show you where and how your work can be improved in easy to manage steps.
If you would like to focus on a specific aspect of your photography, such as editing, I can teach you my workflow and methods of editing, including live editing with you in Photoshop.

MENTORING TESTIMONIALS
"121 mentoring with Lynne has been a game changer for me. I felt overwhelmed with which areas of my work to tackle first as I felt there were improvements to be made everywhere. Lynne didn't take a one size fits all approach but took time to understand my needs and helped me to see the woods for the trees. Lynne's experience means she has shared lots of nuggets that have had a big impact on my posing and lighting. The biggest improvement has come from Lynne's expertise in editing. What seemed like a complicated minefield before we started, with Lynne's help has now become a simplified workflow, that's helped me find my style and sped up my workflow". Lisa Kershaw x
"Having had a mentoring session with Lynne I can honestly say she has opened my eyes as to how to edit beautifully. Not only is Lynne incredibly talented, but she shares her knowledge in such a clear and comprehensive way, I now feel better equipped to approach my editing to create work that I would have only aspired to create previously. An incredible mentor and highly recommended! If you are looking to step up your game give Lynne a call!"
