Anne Grant ~ Certified Professional Photographer

Anne Grant ~ The Village Photographer, now also known as Anne Grant ~ Certified Professional Photographer, is giving you yet another reason why you will be glad you chose our studio for your photography!
The art of photography is what has pretty much defined my career and a good bit of my life for almost two decades, but our industry is very different than when I first started. There are more photographers than ever, all at vastly different levels of expertise.
 
When it comes to creating your family's photographic history, I know you want all the reassurance possible when you choose your photographer.
You want to feel confident you have made the right decision when you are overwhelmed with choices.Often times I hear people say that it is hard to know who to trust for any type of services they may need. Even though our studio has always had a 100% guarantee that you will be thrilled with your portraits, it is a well known fact that the public recognizes certification as a sign that one is an authority in their field.
 
From the Professional Photographic Certification Commission website  
"A Certified Professional Photographer designation is awarded by Professional Photographers of America (PPA) to those who pass a comprehensive written exam to measure technical capability, successfully submit a body of work to a panel of judges for review and approval, and abide by a professional code of ethics. This offers you that assurance, not just of quality, but of technical skill and artistic expertise."
  
This process was no easy task!
But when I learned that only 7% of all the members of PPA earn the Professional Photographic Certification and that I am one of only 3 Certified Professional Photographers in Forsyth County, it gives me a sense of pride to be among those who set themselves apart from the masses so I can offer more to my clients.
