I’m glad you are here!

Join me in

Northern Virginia

for the next

2025 Simple & Pure Newborn Workshop!

July 20-23rd, 2025

Solo Room
Shared room
Lighting

The best images are created with light and composition. I will teach you how I use light and angles to create simple but emotive newborn images.

Shooting

This workshop isn’t about watching from a distance. You will recieve hands on help with angles and composition in camera.  We will cover everything from bean bag set up & posing to video settings.

Editing

It starts with getting the right exposure & composition in camera, but we will wrap it up with editing (photo & video) and you will learn all of my tips and tricks!

I am excited to announce that the next Simple & Pure Workshop of the year will once again be in the beautiful Hunt Country of Northern Virginia!

This workshop will be at my natural light studio located in The Plains and we will be staying overnight and photographing on location at a beautiful equestrian farm just up the road in Middleburg, VA.

Solo Room: $4500 (3 spots)
Shared Bed: $3950 (4 spots)
(bring a bestie!)

$1500 deposit due to book your spot – balance due June 15th

What I love most about the retreat style workshop is getting to spend downtime with everyone while we talk business, life, editing, etc. From coffee to bedtime snacks, we will get to connect beyond formal workshop instruction time. There will be a Facebook group created ahead of time so you can get to know each other a bit before as well as coordinate arrivals, carpool and a text group for continued interactions and community.

What is needed for the trip:
You & your camera bag
We will have downtime for dinners, headshots & pool nights.

I usually keep my 50 1.2 lens on my camera for all newborn sessions. In home and outside I also use my 28-70 & 85mm lenses. The weather in July will be warm, so plan wardrobe accordingly & bring a swimsuit for night swims. We will plan one nice dinner and headshot swaps while we are dressed up. I will have everything on hand for a studio newborn set up and all models will be styled with wardrobe and directed by me.

The Simple & Pure Workshop is truly amazing! So much knowledge was shared! We learned to not just photograph the “pose”, Learning to see the light and shadows, Angles are everything, Connection equals love equals beautiful images. It was simply amazing!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Danielle and her Simple & Pure Workshop. She is a hands on and personable educator who goes above & beyond any educator I have ever met. I struggled for years to achieve consistency in my newborn work and nothing ever clicked until I invested in education with Danielle. She’s a huge credit to not only my growth as a business owner but also my confidence as a photographer. I no longer walk into sessions anxious about posing or lighting and I know with confidence I can produce beautiful, cohesive work each time. I am so grateful for her and her willingness to share her extensive knowledge and talent!
