The Professional Photographers of Oklahoma is an affiliate of the Professional Photographers of America. It is the state wide organization. We help educate photographers in the art, craft and business of photography. There is no greater place to find colleagues and build friendships with people who genuinely want to help you be a better business person while learning growing alongside you.
I have been a member of the Professional Photographers of Oklahoma since my High School years (so late 90’s). In early 2012 I was appointed a position on the Board of Directors- what an honor to have some of the top professional photographers in the state ask me to join them in bettering our photographic industry!
I have now been nominated (and I accepted the position) as Secretary for the organization in 2016. I will then move through the chairs for a few years to become President of the organization in 2019. What an extreme honor to be considered worthy enough to serve with all the great photographers of this state who have gone before us to make the career of photography better for everyone!
I have to be honest that I’m a little nervous looking at all the big shoes I have to fill, but again am just giddy at the opportunity to continue to help make the career of photography better every day.
Can I just say sessions like these remind me why I love my career? Even single ladies need family portraits! When Amy called and said she wanted do something for herself and pamper herself with new portraits she could give away to family, I was so excited and honored to be the one to create them for her.
