Our new president has jokes. 😂

Tonya wasted absolutely no time making her mark. The 2026–2027 PPofN board is already off to a very entertaining start.

Welcome to the presidency, Tonya. We have a feeling this is going to be a great year. 🎉📷

A new chapter begins. 🎉

Last week at our annual board meeting, we officially welcomed the 2026–2027 PPofN board and that means it was time for Cory to pass the gavel to our incoming president, Tonya.

Cory Loomis, thank you for your leadership, your dedication, and everything you poured into this organization. It has been an honor.

Tonya Ottemann, we cannot wait to see where you lead us. The gavel is in good hands. 🙌

Here's to an incredible year ahead for PPofN and the Nebraska photography community!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our Past Presidents, Helene Svitak-Larson, who served as President of the Professional Photographers of Nebraska in 1971.

Helene made history as our first female president, paving the way for future generations of women in our industry and within our organization. Her leadership came at a time when such milestones were not easily achieved, and her courage and dedication helped shape the foundation of PPofN as we know it today.

We are grateful for her service, her vision, and the legacy she leaves behind. The strength of our organization stands on the shoulders of leaders like Helene who gave their time, talent, and heart to the photographic community in Nebraska.

She passed away on February 13. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all who were touched by her life and leadership.
