President’s Message I hope that your New Year is off to a wonderful start!

I am honored to serve as the PPGH President for 2016. It makes me chuckle to think that I used to quietly check-in and sit in the last row at the meet ing…not talking to a soul. I didn’t realize at the time that Teri Whittaker, CPP while I came away with new “photography” nuggets from each meeting’s speaker, I was missing out on a much richer experience. Once I began to get to know other guild members and I became involved in serving PPGH in various capacities I found that richer experience in friendships and investment in the Guild.

PPGH has much to offer you for education and inspiration this year. I encourage you to attend as many meetings and workshops as you can work into your busy schedules. I have found that even when the speaker’s topic it not something I would typically seek out, I still come away with something new that I can apply to my photography. In addition to what the speaker shares, I always find new direction and inspiration from conversations with my fellow Guild members. You have to be present, face to face, for those conversations to take place. Mark your calendars now for the third Tuesday of every month January through November.

My wish for each of you is that it will be a year of growth; growth in your business, growth in your technical proficiency, growth in your artistic vision, and growth in your friendships.

Happy New Year!

Teri
