"VPPA is a great organization for professional photographers with an active business, but it's also great for the aspiring photographer who wants to be better at their craft. I joined VPPA as a business-owner; but after I retired from business, I stayed in VPPA because of the excellent photography education opportunities and for the camaraderie of the members. VPPA helps me be a better photographer."
