Are you ready to ditch inconsistent light on location and create the light you want, every single time?
Imagine if at every single lifestyle newborn session, whether it was in your client's home or in the hospital, you had your PERFECT ideal light... a gorgeous glow, perfectly exposed skin tones, highlights and shadows that created the most dynamic, dimensional images. Now imagine if you could have that perfect light, no matter the weather, no matter the layout of your client's home, no matter the time of day...
Perfect light every single time, no matter the situation IS possible when you know how to ditch the lighting frustration and create your OWN light source, and I can teach you how.

This is for you if...
Investing in Courtney’s ‘The Lifestyle Lighting Framework’ has really transformed my work as a photographer. I have a natural light studio and have struggled with only having one time of day to schedule my sessions due to lighting. I also do many in-home newborn sessions, and feel more confident when shooting in dark rooms or rooms with little lighting. No more canceling and rescheduling sessions due to weather for me! I have used Courtney’s formula on cloudy, dreary days and it worked like a dream!
If you're anything like me from a few years ago, the thought of learning how to use flash feels a little overwhelming right? And maybe even a little scary... isn't flash supposed to look... FLASHY?
Now? I can walk into any room and any situation and create my OWN light source if I need to. My work is consistent, no matter the weather, the location or the layout of the room I'm in. With these game-changing skills, I know that it's not the SOURCE of the light that matters most, but the qualities that make all the difference.
The only difference between you and me is a simple, easy to learn framework for creating your own light.
The Lifestyle Lighting Framework is a complete guide to natural and artificial light for on location lifestyle sessions! This course teaches you my proven framework for conquering natural light, and making flash look JUST like natural light when you need to create your own light source.

In lesson one, we’ll talk about ideal lighting conditions created with natural light. After all, it’s our goal to get our artificial light to look just like natural light, so we start with this foundation lesson to talk about basic principles for ideal light, and how to properly light our subjects with natural light.
After mastering natural light, we discuss introducing artificial light with off camera flash when conditions are less than ideal. We’ll cover when and where we will use our flash to create natural light results during our sessions.
In this lesson, we’ll cover common flash issues and how to overcome them so that you are never without knowledge and a plan on session day.
In this lesson, we’ll cover all the technical details you’ll need to know to shoot with flash. We’ll talk flash and camera settings for ideal results. This is where I reveal my secret sauce for getting natural light results! Eeek! This module is PURE GOLD.

Yes, It Really Works
The Lifestyle Lighting Framework Course by Courtney Malone is one of the most effective and easy-to-understand self-paced guides out there.
This course is wonderful for beginners and for working photographers. Courtney, THANK YOU for this top-notch information. When it comes to off-camera flash resources, The Lifestyle Lighting Framework Course by Courtney Malone is pretty hard to beat!"

"I wished I'd done this sooner!"
Learning flash and Courtney’s approach to it has given me the confidence to start using my backdrop or taking more sessions when clients want it inside. All my clients are over the moon with their photos now and I wish I had learned this sooner!

Learning and incorporating off camera flash has been a game-changer for my business. I no longer get jitters when rain is in the forecast on session day. With a full-time schedule of sessions, rescheduling during that short newborn window is often just not an option. The session needs to happen rain or shine. I've also found newfound confidence in charging a professional and profitable rate that covers the value of what I have to offer - professional images, every single time, because I can handle any lighting situation that comes my way.
I've taught dozens upon dozens of photographer these invaluable skills, and I can teach you too.
Flash does not have to be "flashy" or scary. In fact, once you understand some simple principles, it's really quite easy. And I can show you how.
You're in the right place.
