PPA names Kesha Lambert to board

Professional Photographers of America (PPA) appointed Kesha Lambert to its board of directors. Lambert, an accomplished photographer and lawyer, will help shape the vision for the nonprofit beginning in March 2021, the organization said.

Lambert is an international wedding and portrait photographer based in New York. Born in North Carolina, Lambert was raised in the Bronx and went on to graduate from Fordham Law School. Early this year, Lambert was named a Sony Artisan of Imagery by Alpha Universe.

“I look forward to bringing my perspective and experience as a photographer, lawyer, and business owner to the work that PPA is doing for and on behalf of its members and the industry at-large,” Lambert said in a statement to PPA.

Lambert’s work has appeared internationally in publications including People, The New York Times, Essence, Brides, The Knot, Bella Naija Weddings, and, recently, Munaluchi Bride (which was also the first magazine to publish her work).
