Testimonials

Jessie & Tyler Goode

Serah is one of a kind! She was very fun to work with, kept the kids engaged, and has a great attention to detail. She is very responsive and communicative throughout the process, and helped us with the fine details behind the scenes -selecting outfits, communicating the exact directions to the location, printing photos, etc. She went above and beyond to make sure she provided an “experience” along with the memories she was able to capture. If you’re looking for the whole package-I highly recommend!

The Journey to Becoming a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)

Written by Serah Prince, Certified Professional Photographer

Becoming a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) has been one of the most challenging and rewarding milestones of my career. When I first launched my photography business, I quickly realized that creating portraits that genuinely capture the heart and personality of my clients required more than just a love for photography and a good camera. It demanded technical mastery, a trained eye for detail, and an unwavering dedication to excellence.


Where It Began: A Passion Ignited

My journey started with a simple passion—telling stories through photographs. Every smile, milestone, and playful glance carries meaning, and I wanted to preserve those moments for families in a beautiful, lasting way. As I grew in my craft, I realized I wanted to push myself further. I wanted my work to meet not just my own high standards but also the industry’s most respected benchmarks.


The Challenge: Earning the CPP Designation

The path to certification was intense. The Certified Professional Photographer program, administered by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), required passing a comprehensive written exam and submitting a portfolio of images that demonstrated technical proficiency and artistry.

The written exam tested me on everything from lighting and posing to business practices and photographic science. I spent countless hours studying, practicing, and refining my knowledge. The image submission process was equally demanding, requiring me to present specific types of portraits that showcased precise technical skill. Each photograph was carefully evaluated against strict industry standards, and the process pushed me to grow in ways I never expected.


Achieving Certification

After months of hard work and dedication, I passed the written exam and successfully completed the image review. Receiving my CPP designation was a moment of immense pride—a validation of my skill, persistence, and commitment to my clients. It’s more than just a credential; it’s a promise of quality.


Why Certification Matters to You

Choosing a Certified Professional Photographer means choosing someone who is fully invested in delivering the best possible experience and outcome. Here’s why the CPP designation is important for my clients:

  1. Proven Expertise: Certification guarantees that I have mastered the technical and creative skills needed to consistently produce outstanding images.
  2. Commitment to Excellence: Earning the CPP is not a one-time achievement. It represents my dedication to ongoing learning and continual improvement, ensuring I always provide the highest quality service.
  3. Confidence and Trust: When clients work with a CPP, they can feel confident knowing they’ve chosen a qualified professional who is accountable to national standards.


Looking Ahead

While becoming a CPP is a major accomplishment, it’s just the beginning. I am committed to continuing my education, refining my skills, and offering my clients not just portraits, but exceptional experiences that leave them feeling seen, valued, and celebrated.

Thank you for being part of my journey. Whether you’re a client, a fellow photographer, or a friend, your support means the world to me. I look forward to many more years of telling stories, capturing memories, and creating portraits you’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’d like to know more about the CPP process or you’re ready to book a session, I’d love to connect with you.

Say HELLO! Let's work together.
