Welcome!

Welcome to our certification program!

This program is currently open only to those who have had in person training with Ana Brandt.

Out goal is to help you achieve certification, and elevate the Industry standards as well a promote best practices and safety for newborn photographers around the world. We believe by having requirements and guidelines for photographers to follow, we can help elevate the stress and worry that new parents have in hiring newborn photographers.

We are here to help you. Certified photographers can relax knowing we are behind them and will help them grow their business wherever we can.

When you signup for our program you receive the following upon completion and certification:

A digital verified badge.

Press releases in your name that you can share.

Be part of an exclusive network in which Ana and her staff can recommend your services.


Usage of our logo and verified materials for your marketing.


Receive exclusives resources and information.

Each month we will highlight those who have reached certification status.


A global directory of certified photographers will go on this site, as well as several other media sites that Ana owns. All students will have a bio page on this site referring to their websites and social.

Students will also receive a swag bag that will be mailed to them with their wood plaque within 30 days of being certified. The swag bag includes a wooden plaque with your name on it, a pen, t-shirt, tote bag, stickers, decals and some other goodies.


We also hope to bring exclusive vendor discounts and legal help for members. This is a program that will continue to grow in benefits.
