Welcome to the Family

Here at PPA, we’re a family. Maybe that’s cliché, but how else can you describe a member-owned association of professional photographers that also has sister photography associations, affiliate associations and schools?

We're a family whose not-for-profit charter allows us to give more back to you than any other photography organization in the industry. As a member of our PPA family, you will benefit from a wide range of services and assistance from education, malpractice-style protection, data recovery, copyright assistance, print competitions, annual tradeshows, to financial advice.

PPA is a family whose goal is to help you get stronger and to help you strengthen your business!
