ABOUT US

  We are an organization dedicated to ensuring the health and vitality of the school photographic industry. 

"The school picture industry in America was at one time a healthy, vibrant business. As ease of access to digital cameras and cell phone cameras has increased we have seen participation rates in our industry decrease. What once was a healthy, vibrant industry is now one that is hanging on by a thread. Our industry has been devoid of leadership and a voice for many years. As the COVID-19 pandemic has closed schools and hurt our nation’s economy change is demanded. The School Photographers of America is the change our industry needs. I believe a non-profit entity vigilantly fighting to protect our work and proactively pursue legislation that enables our industry to return to its healthy, vibrant past is a solution the entire industry can rally around. The School Photographers of America is needed, and it is needed now."
