A few years ago, my close friend Laura gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, named Olivia.
And she did what many new moms do: she bought a camera to capture her daughter growing up.
The photos were OK at first… but when Olivia learned to walk (and run!), her photos started to become soft and blurry.
Olivia was growing up fast. And Laura was missing the chance to capture once-in-a-lifetime milestones every week.
Frustrated, and with few options, she booked a local studio to take ‘proper’ family photos.
Hundreds of dollars later… the photos they got back were sterile and lacking personality.
Last year I was able to help her by sending a copy of our best-selling ebook on child photography, Dreamy Childhood Portraits.
It was written by Iwona Podlasińska, a world-renowned child photographer from Poland.
Laura had so much fun capturing new and impressive photos of her children… she wanted to sign up for one of Iwona’s workshops to get the full experience.
But with the busy life of a new mom, she simply couldn’t find the time.
This was a common problem for many customers. I knew I had to do something about it…
Iwona captures playful childhood adventures… cozy and nostalgic scenes… and treasured memories of bonding siblings.
Her style relies on simple setups for stylized scenes to capture candid images.
Then she uses post-processing to enhance her images and make them pop!
Iwona published an ebook with us last year, and it was our best-selling product of 2021 with over 5,700 copies sold.
She also has 200,000+ followers. And has hosted fully-booked workshops in 13 countries across 4 continents.
Until now, her $700.00 workshops (hosted in 13 countries) were the best way to master her techniques.
Now we make it even easier, with a brand new video course.
In this 11-hour video course, Iwona will show you her exact process of how to capture 11 magical childhood moments.
They range from indoors and outdoors, using natural and artificial light.
This includes styling and composition… planning and props… camera settings and post-processing…
…while using a basic camera (or even a phone), from the comfort of your home.
The only limit is your imagination. And with Iwona’s best ideas to choose from… you’ll never be short of inspiration.
With “Magical Childhood Moments”, you’ll soon discover:
The video lessons average 15 minutes in length, accompanied by our “Scrapbook Notes” cheat sheets to walk you through every step. (More on those below.)
You get to see behind the scenes how Iwona prepares for the shoot, poses her tiny models, and then edits the images.
With Iwona’s blueprint for timeless child photos, you have everything you need to create adorable memories.
We wanted to make the process of capturing these photos as easy as possible.
So Iwona worked with us to create case studies and cheat sheets for her best images.
The process is simple:
The ‘Scrapbook Notes’ detail how to create each image. This includes the location, settings, posing, composition, and lighting.
Whether you’re a parent or a child photographer… these ‘Scrapbook Notes’ make the process easy.
My own childhood photo albums have two types of photos:
But you will occasionally find an adorable photo that captured who I was, what I was doing, and how I was feeling.
Usually taken by someone other than my mother (Sorry, Mum!)…
You see, my mum always thought that she needed to book a sterile studio… find a fancy location… or hire an expensive photographer to capture these great images.
But the truth is you don’t need any of those things…
If you focus on cool ideas and interesting styling, you can easily capture frame-worthy shots!
It all comes down to the techniques you use, and that’s easy when you have the right process…
Picture this.
You have a new way to take impressive photos without expensive gear or even leaving your home.
Coming up with new ideas isn’t a problem. You have our ‘Scrapbook Notes’ to take inspiration from.
You gather some props and choose a window to shoot in front of.
There’s no need to worry about composition. You already know exactly how you’re going to make your photo amazing.
Time flies by as you set up your scene and adjust the light.
Then you call your child in to join you. And within minutes, you have captured your own unique image that is artistic and timeless.
Before your child loses patience, you’ve captured images that are beautiful and nostalgic.
The images are so exciting and fun to shoot, you start planning your next session immediately.
All you need is a simple process and basic gear to produce stunning results like these…
Do you prefer natural light photography?
In these 3 projects, Iwona shows you how to capture stunning portraits without using artificial light.
These are our most accessible projects. You can shoot these photos today, using any window in your home.
Capture your child’s playfulness and sense of adventure.
Iwona will show you how to take timeless photos of your kids’ favorite outdoor activities.
You don’t need expensive lighting equipment to capture stunning photos of your children.
Iwona often uses fairy lights or candles to set the mood in her photos.
And she’ll share how you can do the same!
Iwona is no stranger to teaching her style of photography.
Her workshops and our best-selling ebook have produced hundreds of happy students with stunning photos. Here are a few of them…
I had the amazing chance to assist in Iwona’s workshop in Canada and it was a fabulous and unique experience. She is authentic, generous, and such a great teacher!
I now have a better comprehension of natural lighting and I have learned a lot about editing in Lightroom.
This was for sure the most interesting, eye-opening, and honest workshop I have ever got to follow. Worth every penny and more ❤️Lightroom is almost all she works with for retouching.
All is done in finding the magic of the light and creating the right environment and settings in-camera.
I started watching the editing videos of Iwona and I wanted to learn even more, so I attended the masterclass in Belgium.
From start to finish it was a magical experience! Nice to work with other enthusiastic photographers on a beautiful pure child’s photo. Now working on putting everything I learned into practice. Thanks Iwona!
I just bought mine and wow there is a ton of info!! Iwona is one of my favorite photographers! I mostly create composites, but I want to capture better everyday childhood moments of my son especially while he’s still little.
I purchased the e-book, love your work. It has breathed new life and inspiration into my love for composites and children.
I seriously feel like this took years off of my learning! I love the idea of just capturing them as they are. This has also helped my creativity immensely! I am constantly checking my local thrift stores for props and inspiration.
I told my husband I would have paid $1,000 for this had I known how much I would learn…not that I’m not happy paying what I did! Thank you!
Iwona captures the interests, innocence, and personality of every child she takes photos of.
She will show you how she gets inspiration from their everyday environment. Whether it is their home filled with their furry (or stuffed) friends… or the adventurous outdoors.
You’ll then discover how she builds on this inspiration to create her signature childhood portraits.
Iwona focuses on capturing children in their everyday environment. Whether that’s by the window, or by the lake.
This is how she makes them feel comfortable.
Plus, nothing tells more about your kids than the places they spend their time at.
Working with professional models can seem intimidating… but working with children might seem downright impossible.
But it doesn’t have to be.
Iwona will show you how to prepare for the different shots: finding the location… gathering the right props… choosing the perfect clothes for the model.
These steps will help you make the actual photoshoot shorter and more fun for the kids.
In this section, Iwona will showcase all the different ideas she has in mind for her variety of scenes.
She will walk you through her exact thought process of posing the tiny models… composing the images… choosing the right camera settings… as well as certain props and gear for each scene.
The final step in creating perfect childhood memories is editing. Iwona will show you her signature editing style on the carefully selected 11 photos.
In these 20-minute-long videos, you will see how to crop your images, change the background if necessary… or color grade the photos for a magical childhood moment.
You can capture adorable photos of your children in the refreshing greenery of spring… or even the freezing cold of winter.
In these 3 bonus projects, Iwona will show you how you can use different seasonal elements to create moody photos of your kids.
Playing with fireflies in luscious bushes… looking for Santa behind a frozen window… getting cozy with stories under dim moonlight…
With these projects, no matter the season, you’ll capture those fleeting childhood moments.

One of the best ways to change the look and feel of your scene is to add overlays.
Included in this bundle are dust and bird overlays. Iwona uses them to emphasize the atmosphere of her photos.
So you can achieve a transformation like this with only a few clicks of a button…
It’s only natural that you’re going to want to showcase your finished masterpieces to the world.
Whether you want to show your beautiful children on social media… or want to gift a printed photo of them… Iwona will help you with that too.
She’ll share her export presets that you can use for exporting your photos for social media and for print.
In this video course, Iwona will show you how she edits her wonderful photos step-by-step.
But if you want to quickly master her editing techniques, she also created handy cheat sheets on them.
Print them out, or pull them up on your screen… to help you remember the workflow with a glance.
I stand behind every product we offer. And having planned and commissioned this video course, I’m happy to put the ExpertPhotography name on it.

When we release a new product, we always discount the price for the first 500 people. But it’s 500 people only.
For that reason, time is very much “Of the Essence”… I can’t stress the time-sensitiveness of this offer enough.
Not only will the 500 video courses go quickly, but at that point, the $1,542.00 discount will expire. And I’m taking the bonuses away too.
Why? The reduced price is to celebrate the launch of the new video course. The value of the video course is far higher. It doesn’t make long-term sense to sell it for such a low price.
It’s too late for you to capture new photos of your child when they were younger. But it’s not too late to capture them as they continue to grow.
You have a chance to do things differently.
Iwona created the video course under this brief:
“Show us how to capture beautiful photos of children with tips that any parent could follow.”
If you follow her advice, you can avoid missing out on capturing precious memories. And fill photo albums with beautiful images.
So it’s decision time: You can either continue taking photos like you always did… Or you can take Iwona’s advice and rapidly improve the photos of your children.
This simple $99 video course is the only thing standing between you and the stunning photos you see on this page.
Iwona’s methods have worked for other people like you, and it’s 200% guaranteed so you have nothing to lose.
It’s a no-brainer.

P.S. – You’re getting everything you need to get started with child photography. AND you’re getting the “3 Seasonal Bonus Projects”, “Iwona’s Private Overlays”, “Export Presets”, AND her Editing Cheat Sheets for FREE. But remember – 500 is the magic number.
ExpertPhotography was founded in 2011 by Joshua Dunlop.
Since then ExpertPhotography has grown into the world’s largest photography education website with a variety of online courses, ebooks, cheat sheets, presets, and more.
Everything we do here is to make the process of learning photography easier, so you can experience the same joy we do.
We’ve taught photography to 140,000+ very happy and satisfied students over the past 11 years.
Photography has changed our lives, and we hope we can help it to change yours too.
Each image takes between 15 minutes and one hour to capture, and you can continue to experiment for hours with the same concept if you wish.
No, you can capture all of these photos at home, in your garden, or in your local area.
Iwona captures the dream-like wonder of children aged between one and thirteen. She does not cover newborn photography as that requires entirely different techniques.
It’s helpful to understand how exposure works, but aside from that, everything you need to know is covered in the video course.
All you need is your camera (or a phone with a good camera). Iwona shoots mainly with three lenses: 135mm, 85mm, 50mm. But an entry-level DSLR and kit lens would work too. You don’t even need a tripod.
Iwona does rely on Lightroom to transform the look and feel of her images, but she walks you through exactly what you need to do to achieve the same results.
Occasionally she will also use Photoshop, but this is less common, and still explained in detail.
This is an online course only. This enables you to access the course immediately, and it enables us to easily add new videos as requested.
