President's Message       

Greetings!

I am excited to be your PPLA President for the upcoming year, 2012 - 2013! My name is Barbie Vallot, and I own Southern Exposure Photography in Ponchatoula, Louisiana.   Early on in my career, I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, and I joined the Professional Photographers of Louisiana.  I owe PPLA so much, and now is my time to give back.

Photography is my passion, and has been for way too many years to mention now.  Through PPLA I have learned to be a better photographer, and I have learned how to turn my passion into profit!

I am here to freely share my knowledge, and my love of photography with like minded people, so that we can grow as photographers together!   PPLA is a support group of real people whom you can depend on when you need them.  

Check out our line up of events, and Save the dates!!! We’ve got big things in store and talent galore! 

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!

Barbie Vallot,   PPLA President, Master Photographer, Craftsman, Certified Professional Photographer, PPLA Fellow
