Being an APNPI member has truly been a transformative part of my journey as a photographer. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed into a community that genuinely cares about growth, education, and excellence in our craft. The resources provided—whether it’s the workshops, webinars, or mentorship opportunities—are thoughtfully curated and incredibly valuable. They’ve helped me refine not just my technical abilities, but also my storytelling and client experience.

What stands out most to me is the emphasis on safety and professionalism, especially in the newborn photography space. Becoming accredited through APNPI has not only boosted my confidence, but it has also given my clients reassurance that their little ones are in the safest hands. That trust is everything.

Beyond the professional development, it’s the people that make APNPI so special. I’ve met peers and mentors who inspire me every day, and the support within the community is unlike anything else. There’s a real sense of camaraderie—cheering each other on, sharing insights, and lifting one another up. Being part of APNPI isn’t just about elevating your work—it’s about finding your people. I’m incredibly proud to be a member and excited for all that’s still to come.
