March 2026 Inspired Magazine: Featuring the 2026 NAPCP Gallery Event Winners!

As March comes to a close, we reflect on the transition from the quiet of winter to the energy and renewal of spring. The days are growing longer, and with the changing season comes a fresh opportunity to refocus, create, and step into all that lies ahead. It’s a beautiful time to embrace new momentum, revisit your goals, and find inspiration in both your craft and your community.

In this issue, we’re excited to look back on a memorable start to the year as we feature highlights from the 2026 NAPCP Gallery Event and Camp Inspired, both of which took place in January. These gatherings were filled with creativity, connection, and meaningful moments that continue to inspire our community. During Camp Inspired, we also had the joy of announcing our 2025 Photographer of the Year. Be sure to look for our June issue, where we’ll share an exclusive interview with Julie Hamlin.

As you plan for the months ahead, we encourage you to keep an eye on all that’s coming up within the NAPCP community. Master Photographer Certification for the Family category will open in May, and the International Image Competition will open in April, so now is the perfect time to begin preparing your work. The first round of NAPCP Gatherings will also take place in April, so don’t forget to check the website and mark your calendars.

Looking ahead to fall, our next NAPCP Getaway hosted by Valerie Eidson will take place this September in Asheville, North Carolina. If you’ve been thinking about joining us for a meaningful experience filled with creativity, connection, and inspiration, we’d love to have you there.

And as your sessions begin to pick up this season, this is also a wonderful time to streamline your business, strengthen your goals, and invest in your growth. One-on-one mentorship can be a powerful way to gain clarity, direction, and support as you move into a busy season with intention.

We hope this issue leaves you feeling encouraged, inspired, and ready for all that spring has to offer.

If you were featured in this issue, this moment deserves more than a quick scroll. As photographers, we spend your careers capturing meaningful milestones for everyone else—yet so often, our own achievements go undocumented. This is one of those milestones worth keeping. Years from now, you’ll be glad you ordered the issue that featured your work. Seeing your work in print is a powerful reminder of how far you’ve come, while giving you something tangible to share with clients, display in your studio, and keep as part of your brand story. Don’t let this accomplishment live only on a screen. Order your copy of the magazine and celebrate your feature in a way that lasts. These issues also make a meaningful gift for the clients who supported your journey or who are featured in your images—something they’ll treasure for years to come.
