Certified Professional Photographer

In addition to creating quality images, our studio is also committed to maintaining high professional standards. In order to make sure we’re doing that, I will be participating in the Certified Professional Photographer program offered through the Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

Once I complete this process, I and one other photographer in the Chattanooga area will possess this prestigious certification!

While there are several technical requirements for being Certified, the best way to explain it is to compare it to the difference between a regular doctor and one who is Board Certified. While you can assume that both of them have a certain level of knowledge, the certified doctor has been tested…and the certifying agency takes steps to ensure that the doctor continues to add to his or her expertise through education.

It’s the same way with photographers. As a Certified photographer, you can be assured that I possess enough technical knowledge of my art to consistently create good images for you…and I continue to take courses to maintain my technical and creative edge.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I embark on this journey.

I will keep you posted on my progress!
