Hiya, mums and photo newbies! Ever tried getting that perfect newborn pic—those tiny toes or first giggles—but ended up with blurry messes or a cranky bub? I’ve been there—new mum, no fancy camera, just a phone and a big wish to capture my girl’s first year. Now, after 10+ years snapping bubs, I’ve got the best newborn and baby photography courses online to share—starting with my free masterclass. Whether you’re a parent chasing every milestone or a beginner dreaming of going pro, I’ll help you ditch the stress and snap magic. Let’s jump in—easy peasy!

No time to leave home? No cash for a pro photographer? Online courses are your new bestie! I made my JJP Method for us—busy parents and starters who want pro pics fast. Here’s why they rock:

  • Quick: Learn in 5–10 mins while bub naps—no big time suck.
  • Cheap: My masterclass is free, and my full course is just $179 – only through the masterclass! (reg. $359!).
  • Total Game-Changer: Covers newborn cuddles to 12-month milestones, plus sleep tricks from Tara at The Gentle Sleep Specialist—happy bub, happy you!
    Other courses stop at newborns—mine’s your first-year buddy.

The Best Newborn & Baby Photography Courses Online

Here’s my top picks—mine’s the star for a reason – not just because I made it LOL!:

  1. JJP Free Masterclass
  2. JJP Full Course
  3. Udemy: Baby Photo Basics
    • What: Beginner stuff, mostly newborns.
    • Cost: ~$50 on sale.
    • Why: Cheap and okay, but no 12-month fun or sleep tricks—mine’s tops!
  4. CreativeLive: Newborn Photography – Posing and Safety
    • What: Posing and safety tips, mostly newborns.
    • Cost: ~$149.
    • Why: Kelly Brown’s awesome, but the posing’s often advanced—tough for beginners and not super natural. It can feel tricky or uncomfortable for newbies starting out, unlike my easy, safe vibes!
    • Check It: https://www.creativelive.com/ (search “Newborn Photography: Posing and Safety”).

Me, Jess: From Messy Mum to Photo Pro

I’m Jess Van Den Berghe—a Camperdown girl who loves Netflix, plants, candles, and pork crackling. As a new mum, my pics were awful—blurry, dark, a total flop. I wanted every milestone, but I was stuck. Ten years later—workshops, 100s of bubs, my own studio—I’ve got it down. Now, I teach parents like you and beginners dreaming big with JJP. It’s freed my time, built cash—your turn’s next!

    “Jess was absolutely amazing with our newborn son during the shoot. I felt so comfortable with the way she nurtured his needs and comforted him during the process. Plus the final product was amazing and there is lots of different packages you can choose from that suit your needs."

    My availability is limited with family time being a priority, so booking a few months in advance is highly recommended, especially for newborns.

     

    I know you might feel nervous about getting photos—99% of my clients feel the same! Don’t worry; I’ll guide you through every step, giving you prompts and directions so you can relax and just enjoy the moment. Life is hectic, but your session will be a chance to slow down and have fun!
