Generation Next Modeling

03/09/2026

The Generation Next Kids (and parents) had a blast at The Candy Bar on Main St. in Belleville, IL. If you are in the mood for something sweet, drop by the Candy Bar for some of the candy from our childhoods, some great fountain sodas, or maybe a cup of delicious icecream or cotton candy! Whatever your sweet-tooth demands, you'll find something to calm your cravings here at The Candy Bar.

Getting ready to plan out next year's shoots. I want to elevate your kids this year. Last year was evaluation, I have ideas for how to help improve each of your children's modeling techniques. So I need your help deciding what style of shoots you'd like to see for your kids. So post below what themes you'd like to see for next year.

Also let me know when would be a good time for another sports/fire shoot next year. I don't really know the sports schedules.

And along with a new year, I think we're gonna try out a new logo. Let me know what you think of this new look.
