What is APNPI?

APNPI formed out of a passion to give professional recognition to Newborn Photographers, and to connect photographers in a safe and respectful place that cultivates the growth of artistry and business acumen amongst it's membership. APNPI also connects parents with qualified photographers in their area who are educated in newborn safety practices and have passed a rigorous QNP application process. Additionally the site offers parents valuable resources and tips for everything from choosing a photographer to taking better photographs at home.

What does it mean to hold QNP status?

The APNPI Qualified Newborn Photographer (QNP) Certification aims to recognize competence and professional standard for those who earn their living as Newborn Photographers. It has been developed specifically for those working with the maternity, baby and newborn populations. It is designed to distinguish APNPI members from the hobbyists, increase safety awareness and serve as assurance of professional qualifications to new parents.


The APNPI Certification is rooted in our Code of Ethics, and is earned internationally as recognition of a photographer’s foundation, knowledge, competence, and professional standard. Whether you are established or an emerging photographer, certification seals are designed to provide a specific title that serves to uphold professional status. This is a quality assurance to clients and makes an excellent component in your marketing. Now available to Newborn Photographers around the world!
