I love all things maternity and mothers and this class gave me so many ideas and new tips and tricks. Natural posing is so important when it comes to shooting several people and Sherida is a master at it. I saved the posing cards to my phone and I use them all the time. It is so helpful before a shoot! I also find the shooting videos helpful, it is so useful to see how other people approach sessions and subjects. I highly recommend it!
