When you hire a photographer, you want the best. Unfortunately, anyone with a camera can claim to be a professional. We use the slogan "PPA Certified" or "Certified Professional Photographer" all the time in our print ads, our web site and everything we publish, but what does it really mean? "Certified Professional Photographer" is a designation granted by the Photographic Certification Commission, the world's leading certification agency for imaging professionals. Being a Certified Professional Photographer is a great honor. Only about 3% of all professional photographers can claim this title. James Abram, our photographer, is Northwest Oklahoma's only PPA Certified Professional Photographer.
Three words categorize the select group of people who have earned the title of Certified Professional Photographer, Competence, Integrity and Stability.
Competence is established through successful completion of a rigorous series of tests, a continuing education program, and periodic critical evaluation to establish the consistent quality of their work. As a responsible member of their community, they are bound by the highest standards of integrity and a strict code of business ethics established by the Professional Photographers of America, Inc. Stability is evidenced by a minimum of five years of full-time, active involvement in a successful photography business.
You expect fine photography from a professional. You can expect more than just a picture when you work with a Certified Professional Photographer.
