NEWGEN
The Most Powerful Certificate in Photography Education
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.
NEWGEN EDUCATION CERTIFICATE
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.
