APNPI Certification

This past fall I decided to work towards becoming an accredited newborn photographer. I began the process by taking joining Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI) and took their Newborn Safety Course. Once that was complete and I passed the associated exam I was able to submit images to APNPI as part of the Qualified Newborn Photographer certification. This consisted of a coursework and exam covering business practices as well as image submission. The images submitted were to demonstrate basic camera/photography basics as well as knowledge of composition, newborn posing, and most importantly keeping baby safe during their newborn photography session. It took a little while to get my results in, but I’m excited to say I passed and am one of the first to hold this certification in Texas and at the moment the only QNP (Qualified Newborn Photographer Certification) in the Austin area.

Exceptionally patient and professional. Had no idea how well photos would turn out. Good value, and good to us and our baby. Highly recommended - we'll be back the next time we have need to get newborn photos :)

Valerie has such a creative and unique approach to her work from her hand-made sets to the props she provides. Everything is beautiful and made with great care. I was blown away by how good she is at photographing my son who has just hit 12 months. Babies aren't easy to keep focused and not only did she get great shots of him but she did everything with extreme kindness towards him. I'd highly recommend her for any photos you are looking to get. You won't be disappointed.read more

I cannot say enough about Valerie and Ledda! I have documented my pregnancy and every single milestone and holiday of my baby's 1st year With Valerie and all I can say is wow! It is definitely money well spend as everyone always comments how beautiful my photos are and I have a very nice Chronological representation to show my little boy when he is older. It is definitely an investment, and one that is completely worth it. I could not imagine going to anyone else for these Very personal and intimate photos of my child.read more

My husband and I decided to do the Belly to Baby package with Valerie and we’re so glad we did. She was accommodating when I really wanted to do a milk bath shoot for maternity pictures and also found a way to include my husband in photos before shooting in our tub. She and Ledda made me feel beautiful, after struggling with feeling self-conscious throughout most of my pregnancy. We just took our baby to her studio for newborn photos and Valerie’s attention to detail and handling of our baby put me at ease...she knew all the tricks to keep our baby relaxed and content throughout the photo shoot. We cannot wait to see the final products! We will be coming back to Valerie for photographs in the future for our little one!read more
