Newborn Composites: A Hands-on Workshop with Tara Ruby
October 10 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Full-day workshop that focuses heavily on newborn images through composite work.
Not for beginners, this class includes capturing the images of the newborn in a studio setting, capturing the digital images in a studio setting, and then how to composite those images together for a fine art digital image you can be proud of.
Cameras and laptops are highly encouraged as everyone gets the opportunity to capture their own images with my setups and then we work through how to edit for the final image on their own individual laptops.

Tara is deeply embedded in military life, being a disabled veteran, a military spouse, and a mother to an Army Officer.
She has a sincere love of working to support our US Military and the families nestled within. She has worked to pioneer her style of motherhood and military
photography that has earned awards from organizations such as the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI), the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), The National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) as well as within the Army community.
Among hundreds of international publications, her photography has been shared on Facebook over 3.5 million times and featured in Vanity Fair, USA Today, Parents, SELF Magazine, The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, and many more. Cosmopolitan magazine has called her work “stunning”, and “powerful” and notes that her work caused “the internet to lose its collective mind” and the Gulf Coast Breastfeeding Center said, “Tara Ruby is to Breastfeeding as Ansel Adams was to landscape”.
She was also a finalist in Ron Howard’s Project Imaginat10n contest, has images in the full-feature documentary, Homecoming The Film, and has her image displayed in the US Army Women’s Museum in Fort Lee, VA. Tara is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, holding both her Master Photographer and Craftsman degree with PPA and an Associate’s title with WPPI.
