You may also want to contact the Professional Photographers of America
( http://www.ppa.com/ ) for any other photographers operating in the
area. Other sites which may help include TalentNetwork.com (
http://www.photographynetwork.com./ ) and Photographer USA.com (
http://www.photographerusa.com/ ).


If you don't want the expense of hiring an established professional, I
suggest you contact an educational institute with an accredited
photography program and hire an aspiring hopeful for the fraction of
the cost. The following schools have photography programs.
