This tutorial includes over 60 videos that cover 5 day, 4 month, 8 month, and 12 month old shoot ideas, poses, family poses, unique tips and tricks for a smooth shoot, and Stephanie's entire workflow in Photoshop with actions included.  We created this tutorial to be a continuation from our first tutorial with Stephanie that focused on a posing guide to an indoor session with 5 day old newborn babies.
