The monthly PPGH meetings are educational, entertaining and, every single time, fun. I look forward to every meeting. The value of membership far exceeds that of any other professional or industry group I’ve ever belonged to.
— Fred R.
I started attending PPGH meetings for the education – there’s something about watching another photographer set up equipment, work with a client, and finish a final product that you cannot get in an online educational environment. Over the years, I have developed cherished friendships. PPGH is my family!
— Tara F.
