GET STARTED
A child steps into your studio or scene—curious, unpredictable, bursting with energy or quietly observing. You don't see a problem to manage—you see a story waiting to unfold.
You guide with gentle prompts. You give them space to shine. You know how to capture their spirit, not just their smile.
You create images that their parents will frame, cherish, and pass down. Portraits that feel like memories, frozen in time.
Now imagine having the skills to:
Pose and direct children with creativity and calm
Work with light to highlight innocence, strength, or playfulness
Create emotional impact in single-subject compositions
Style child portrait sessions with texture, color, and expression
Edit with painterly tones or clean, classic finishes
Build trust with kids and create portraits they love being part of
That’s what NewGen helps you master—with education designed for the real energy, wonder, and complexity of childhood.
We teach you how to create portraits that feel like paintings—and moments that feel alive.
No more stiff or overly directed poses. We show you how to create play-based prompts that bring out genuine expression.
Whether you're going for soft, minimalist portraits or moody, painterly images—we cover it all.
Because you deserve more than a course—you deserve a complete transformation.

How the Membership Works
Why One Membership Matters
Most high-end workshops or mentoring sessions cost $1,000 to $3,500+ for just a few hours.
With NewGen, you get ongoing access to the same level of education (and more)—for a fraction of the price.
Where else can you learn from elite photographers in maternity, newborn, family, lifestyle, kids, AND portrait—all under one roof?
You’re not just learning a style—you’re discovering your voice, expanding your range, and mastering multiple genres.
NewGen helps you grow not just as an artist—but as a brand.
You’ll get strategies for pricing, branding, client experience, social media, IPS, marketing, and more. Real skills. Real results.
Most courses leave you learning alone. Not here.
Inside NewGen, you’ll have mentors, peers, feedback, challenges, and a global creative network that supports and inspires you—every step of the way.
Submit your work to our Regional and Global Awards, judged by the very instructors who teach you.
Your progress won’t go unnoticed—it’ll be honored, published, and remembered.
NewGen isn’t an expense. It’s a launchpad.
The value of just one improved session, one new client, or one marketing breakthrough will pay for your membership many times over.
You didn’t just follow—you mastered.
You invested in your growth.
You learned the craft, not just trends.
You showed up for yourself.
It Means...
There’s no regulation in this industry.
No official diploma.
No exam that says, “You’re ready.”
Anyone can call themselves a photographer.
Anyone can make a certificate on Canva.
And anyone can sell you one.
But not everyone will put in the work.
And not everyone will complete a full year of deep, intentional education in maternity, newborn, family, outdoor, and portrait photography.
That’s why this certificate means something.
You won’t hang this just on your wall—
You’ll carry it in your work, your confidence, and your future.
It’s a marker of your evolution.
When you complete the full NewGen Education journey, you’ll receive the most meaningful certificate this industry has ever seen—signed by every instructor who taught you.
