What is a Certified Professional Photographer?   
                       Certified Professional Photographer is a designation granted by the Professional Photographic Certification Commission, the world's leading certification agency of imaging professionals. Those who have earned Certification have passed a comprehensive written examination measuring their technical expertise, and have successfully submitted their work to a panel of Master Photographers for review and approval. When you see a photographer displaying the Certified seal, you can be assured that he or she is among the less than 3% of all imaging professionals who have successfully completed and maintained the requirements of the Certification Commission.

Your Assurance of Quality   
                       Your Certified Professional Photographer will record some of the most important moments in your life.  And while every situation brings new challenges, you can be assured that the Certified Professional Photographer has the creativity and skills to deliver the best possible image for you.  

A Symbol You Can Trust 
                       When you hire a photographer, you want the best.  Unfortunately, anyone can claim to be a professional photographer - so ensuring that you get the best photographer for the job can be a difficult task.  Be assured that whenever you enter a studio that displays the Certified emblem, you will be dealing with a professional who is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of professionalism and expertise.
