346: Tavia Redburn - Getting Started with Birth Photography: Perfect Little Memories

Today we are chatting with birth photographer Tavia Redburn and
we get real technical about what you need and what you need to
know before shooting your first birth session! In this episode
Tavia talks about how she got interested in photography and the
experiences that led her to becoming a birth photographer. She
teaches beginners the technical aspects of the craft and
encourages them to practice as much as possible for better
results.


Theres this phrase that says, you’re only an expert on something
if you can explain it to a 5 year old and today, that is me, I
may as well be a 5 year old with how little I know about birth
photography and Tavia explains it as an expert and in a very
pragmatic way that I know many of you will appreciate! She also
host the From better half to boss podcast which is focused on the
business side of photography but if you like Tavia’s teaching
style here today, be sure to check out her podcast as well!
