Each month we feature presentations from seasoned professional photographers and educators. These are people actively working in the industry who openly share what’s working, what’s not, and why.
Bring your questions about lighting, posing, editing, gear, pricing, marketing, workflow, or clients. Our meetings include time for discussion, not just lectures.
You won’t just feel motivated — you’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away, plus clarity on what to work on next.
Photography can be a solo pursuit. PPSA gives you a room full of people who understand the challenges, wins, and growing pains that come with it.
Featured speaker or educational presentation
Live demonstrations or practical walkthroughs (varies by month)
Q&A and group discussion
Updates on upcoming speakers, events, and workshops
Time to connect with other photographers
You’re welcome to sign-up & attend every month for ongoing growth — or simply come when a speaker or topic fits your interests.
You’ll feel right at home if you are:
New to photography and want guidance without judgment
An intermediate photographer ready to level up your skills
Building a photography business and want clarity on pricing and marketing
A working professional looking for community and fresh ideas
All skill levels and genres are welcome.
We believe the best way to understand the value of PPSA is to experience it firsthand. Your first meeting is free so you can get to know the group, the education style, and the community — and decide if it’s right for you.
Your first meeting is on us.
