Area Local Ron Wimmer Wins Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association Award

Earlier this month, Ron Wimmer, owner and artist at Wimmer Photography, Wauwatosa, Wis., won “Best High School Senior Male Portrait” from the Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association (WPPA), a 117 year-old nonprofit professional organization. Wimmer’s portrait will also be highlighted in the WPPA’s Elite Collection going forward.

Wimmer said, “I’m honored to have one of my portraits chosen for this significant award. To be acknowledged by my peers is exciting and humbling. I am grateful that I get to create my art on a daily basis for my clients.”

Early on, Wimmer joined the U.S. Navy and became a naval photographer for five years. Traveling the world via aircraft carrier, he photographed in several foreign countries, including being catapulted and landing (recovered). Photographing out of helicopters was a favorite. A former president of the South Eastern Professional Photographers Association and a member of the Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association, he is currently working on his Master Photographer’s Degree.

Operating in Milwaukee for 23 years, Wimmer Photography specializes in maternity, newborns growth series, children, families, and business & corporate sessions.
