🦅🐎 What an incredible weekend with PPW!

Photographers from across Washington (and one from Oregon!) joined us in Leavenworth for our Wildlife & Wild West Adventure and Executive Board Retreat.

From photographing eagles, osprey, and herons on Fish Lake to capturing dramatic western scenes with horses and riders, the weekend was packed with amazing opportunities, great food, campfires, new friendships, and meaningful conversations about the future of PPW.

A huge thank you to Heidi Swoboda for being such an incredible host and opening her beautiful property to us. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

Now it's your turn! Share your favorite image from the weekend in the comments—we'd love to see what you captured!

What an incredible weekend at the Kenmore Camera Super Sale!

We want to extend a big thank you to the amazing team at Kenmore Camera for hosting PPW this past Saturday. They graciously gave us a prime spot right behind their counter, giving our marketing station front-row visibility to connect with the local photography community. The energy in the store was electric, and the exposure they provided for us was absolutely invaluable!

One of the highlights of a day packed with fantastic sessions was when our very own PPW President, Lara Grauer, taught her business education class.

"Running a Photography Business: A Roadmap for Aspiring Professionals" saw an incredible turnout, sparked fantastic conversations, and left attendees buzzing with inspiration. We were thrilled to meet so many talented photographers who are ready to take their passion to the professional level—and we are so excited about the several attendees who expressed interest in joining the PPW family after the session.

Building Together Community thrives when we support one another. Partnerships with local industry leaders like Kenmore Camera are what keep the Pacific Northwest photography scene growing, learning, and succeeding. Thank you again, Kenmore, for championing photo education.

Did you miss us at the counter? If you are looking to elevate your craft, enjoy incredible camaraderie, and immerse yourself in a passionate photography community dedicated to ongoing education, we want to hear from you.
