Our December Banquet is a very special event when we pause to recognize the achievements of our members. We begin with a reception where you'll enjoy hors d'oeuvres and mingle with your fellow members. 

Jump into the frame at our photo booth and get your caricature drawn. 

To make the evening really special, we’ve engaged award winning chef Yossi Ohayon of Culinary Art Catering to prepare a special unforgettable meal just for you. Chef Yossi was selected to represent Israel in international cooking contests worldwide. In 1996 he moved to the Dallas area and has worked at the Westin Galleria, Dallas Country Club, and the Fairmont Hotel. And, now he wants to create a special meal for you.

Our special guest speaker is Kira Derryberry, President of the Professional Photographers of America. 

Join Kira Derryberry, a leading voice in the photography community, for an inspiring discussion on 'The Power of Community and Lifelong Learning'. Kira, the current President of the Professional Photographers of America, will share valuable insights gained from her journey in the industry. Discover how a supportive community and a hunger for learning can transform your photography career. Don't miss this chance to be inspired by insights from a dedicated industry member.

Finally, we recognize our amazing sponsors who support us in so many ways, our members who have gone above and beyond, our 2023 and 2024 Board members, and our Print Competition End-of-Year Award Winners.
