Motherhood with Two Children and Mentee

See how I move through the home capturing authentic storytelling while I teach my mentee and explain every decision I make.  Learn the techniques that transform ordinary moments into extraordinary images.  This is a dark home and we find beautiful pockets of light to tell the story.

Newborn - Family of Three and Mentee

This is a very raw and authentic newborn session.  Come along with me as I capture these extremely intimate moments of Mom, Dad and Baby.  We artistically capture the Fourth Trimester while highlighting the hills they climbed to create the family of their dreams.  

Motherhood with Three Children

The secret isn't about endless posing or complicated setups. Learn how to create natural variety by working with genuine moments, including those in-between shots that often become the most treasured images.  This session does not include a mentee, so you will see my natural work flow in real time.

About This Course

You've seen the final images. They're beautiful, emotional, and feel effortless. But what you haven't seen is what happens behind the camera. These BTS videos change that. I'm pulling back the curtain completely and showing you real sessions exactly as they happen. You'll see my full process: how I connect with families, how I work with natural light, how I compose shots to capture the story, and how I find those magical in-between moments that often become the most meaningful images. This is raw, real, and honest.  It's the exact approach I use in my sessions every single day. By the end, you won't just understand my technique; you'll know exactly how to apply it to your own work. Ready to step behind the camera and transform the way you photograph indoor sessions? Let's go! Please Note: These are the BTS videos included in the FULL EXPERIENCE, "The Art of Staying In."  This does not include the teaching modules or PDFs.

Meet the Instructor

I'm Dominique, owner of Grace Mae Photography and drawn to the quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed but hold the most meaning. Before starting my photography journey, I spent 7 years in the classroom and hold a Masters in Education. It is my greatest blessing being able to blend my love for teaching with my passion for photography. My background as a teacher shapes everything inside this course. It's not just a collection of pretty videos or surface-level inspiration. I built every lesson with intention so you're not just watching what I do, you're actually learning the 'why' behind every decision I make. My work is rooted in turning ordinary moments into visual poetry by using light and connections. Rather than over-directing, I guide with intention, creating space for something honest and real to emerge. Through both my client work and teaching, I’m passionate about helping others slow down, see differently, and create images that feel as meaningful as they look.
