Benefits of Membership
Membership in NVPS is open to photographers of every skill level, from beginner to professional. Members can participate in monthly competitions and field-trips, have their work critiqued in a supportive and positive manner, get expert help from fellow members in the mentor program, and learn how to produce a portfolio in the multi-month “Portfolio Project”. NVPS provides a fast way to improve your photography skills and share knowledge and creative ideas with like-minded photographers.

To Pay by Check
Print the NVPS Membership Application and bring it to a meeting or pick one up at the desk when you come in. You do not have to join before you come to a meeting; you are welcome to come check out NVPS and determine if it’s something you’ll enjoy. Instructions for paying by mail are on the electronically fillable form. Or you may pay at an NVPS meeting with a paper copy of the Application form, which will be available at the meeting.
Note: Paying membership dues by Paypal is temporarily unavailable. Do not try to pay using your personal PayPal account. Your dues will not be received.
Currently, there are only 2 options for paying dues: you can send a check by mail, or come to any live “in-person” meeting, at our meeting place, at the back entrance of the Dunn Loring Fire and Rescue Department. Either cash or check, are acceptible. The only membership type now is for half-year (February – May).
We look forward to seeing you at NVPS
Guests are always welcome – come check us out! And you can join at any time throughout the year. See our “About” page for the schedule, times, location and activities. Also, check Upcoming Meetings to make sure the meeting is IN-PERSON at the Fire House and not VIRTUAL (via ZOOM).
