2:30pm - Meltdowns to Masterpieces Mentorship with Trayc Dudgeon

Do you dread child portrait sessions?Do you struggle with posing, keeping your little subjects engaged, or, worst of all, find yourself turning away sessions because they feel too challenging? Time and time again, I’ve heard photographers say, “It’s easy when you have good kids… kids who actually listen.” But let’s be honest—“good kids”… is that even a thing? Sure, I’ve worked with my fair share of cooperative children, and as they get older, there’s usually more time to refine each shot. However, let’s be honest—most sessions can leave photographers feeling mentally and physically exhausted, and sometimes even discouraged.In this mentorship, I’ll share my essential tools and go-to techniques, including a live demonstration with a child, to show how to effectively work with each subject and create stunning images efficiently. From selecting props and mastering posing to building meaningful connections—and handling those moments when nothing seems to go as planned—you’ll gain the skills to approach child portrait sessions with confidence and creativity. While I can’t promise a 100% foolproof formula (because, let’s be real, kids will always keep us on our toes), I’ll give you the tools and strategies to make your child portrait sessions more fun, rewarding, and most of all - successful.
