Thank you for your application to be an APNPI Team Member!

We are excited to welcome you with a position as an APNPI Team Member. By now, you will have received an email offering you a position. This will be your official acceptance. So that we are all on the same page, we ask that you review the information below and click on the agreement button below.

The goal of APNPI is to provide opportunities for members to learn, push themselves, and achieve goals, all the while elevating the industry as a whole in artistic standards.

The fundamentals of APNPI Team Member Positions are formed in conjunction with the APNPI code of ethics, and based on Respect, Integrity, Caring, and Trust.

Care – The ethical standard of Care includes compassion, acceptance, interest and insight for individual families and colleagues. Members express their commitment to parent’s and baby’s well-being through responsible use of safety practices, professional judgment and empathy in practice. Members share knowledge with fellow newborn photographers thereby encouraging each other both individually and collectively to achieve and maintain the highest standards of quality.

Respect – Intrinsic to the ethical standard of Respect are trust and fair-mindedness. Members honour human dignity, and respect the privacy of clients. In their professional practice, they model respect for spiritual and cultural values, social justice, confidentiality, freedom, democracy and the environment.

Trust – The ethical standard of Trust embodies fairness, openness and honesty. Members’ professional relationships with colleagues, parents, and the general public are based on trust. Members endeavour to produce consistently equal and superior images to the samples displayed to clients, and to maintain the highest standard of honesty in all transactions, descriptions, contracts, and claims, at all times avoiding false and misleading terms.

Integrity – Honesty, reliability and moral action are embodied in the ethical standard of Integrity. Continual reflection assists members in exercising integrity in their professional commitments and responsibilities. Members maintain the highest level of integrity by avoiding unfair competitive practices and abiding by copyright laws as determined by their local jurisdiction.
