You can only be certified through the Professional Photographers of America. PPA certified is a designation granted to those who have passed strict PPA certification that includes:

1. A four hour comprehensive written exam measuring their technical expertise
2. And they must submit their recent work to a panel of judges for review and approval.
3. Every five years a PPA certified photographer must renew his/her credentials by participating in continuing education programs and periodically submitting their work for critique and evaluation. This helps assure you that your photographer maintains a standard of excellence and a level of expertise that you deserve.

So what does this all mean to you? It means the confidence and peace of mind knowing that you have hired a true professional photographer with years of excellence in photographic expertise with a guarentee that you will love your photos or we will reprint or retake them.Rest assured you can trust Glen Ricks to capture your life’s memories!
