Thanks to generous support from the Co-operators Community Funds, Next Gen Photography is proud to relaunch with new energy, new services and the same passion for storytelling through powerful images.
As a youth-led photography team, we're not just capturing moments, we're creating opportunities, gaining real experience and supporting local events and businesses with fresh, creative perspectives.
My Journey with Next Gen Photography!
My journey with Next Gen Photography began in 2023, when I joined a 12 week youth entrepreneurship supported by Hope for Community Development. Throughout the program, I was able to step out of my comfort zone, meet new people and explore the process of building a creative business from the ground up. That’s where the idea for Next Gen Photography was born and I’ve been passionate about it ever since.
We officially launched in November 2023, and every step since has been a chance to grow, not just as a photographer but as a young entrepreneur. Now, I’m proud to serve as the Marketing Coordinator for Next Gen Photography. In this role, I help shape our brand’s voice, lead our promotional strategies and connect with clients and community partners to showcase the heart of what we do.
What I love most about working with Next Gen is the constant opportunity to sharpen my skills. Each client and event brings a new challenge and teaches me something valuable. Every experience helps me grow and it never feels like work because I genuinely love what I do.
Photography is something I’ve always enjoyed, whether it was taking random portraits of friends or just creating for fun, now I get to pair it with marketing, creativity and youth-led leadership. I’m learning more everyday and that’s what makes this journey so exciting.
Looking ahead, I’m incredibly hopeful about the future of Next Gen. I envision a growing team of passionate youth photographers and creatives, more partnerships with local businesses and organizations and bigger opportunities to tell powerful stories through our lens. With the support of our community and the momentum we’ve built through our relaunch, this is just the beginning.

But beyond that, I believe what truly sets us apart is our heart.
As someone who’s grown with this program, from being part of the original entrepreneurship initiative to now leading as the Marketing Coordinator,I’ve seen firsthand how much passion and intention goes into everything we create. This isn’t just about a job for us. Every photo we take, every story we help tell is rooted in genuine care and a desire to uplift our community.
We hold value because we bring something different–raw creativity, fresh energy and a real connection to the people we serve. When you work with Next Gen, you’re not only getting professional photography, you’re getting a team that’s excited to learn, grow and make your vision come to life.
