For Immediate Release

French Settlement, LA – Kimberly Blom-Roemer, Owner of R2 Photography, LLC has been elected to serve a 3-year term on the National Board of Directors of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP).

Board members are elected nation-wide by the organization’s General Members on the basis of their professional qualifications and leadership experience, as well as their perspective on various issues impacting photographers and the creative industry.

“I am acutely aware of the issues and challenges facing photographers and everyone in the creative industry,” notes Blom-Roemer on her inspiration to pursue the ASMP Board position. “The industry bears little resemblance to the one of five or ten years ago. Technology has made a massive impact, with extreme benefits and sometimes drawbacks to working professionals. But rather than lament the change in the industry, I am about believing in the promise of the new frontiers open to all of us. To help other creatives refine their business practices in order to embrace these changes to grow their businesses is a goal of my service on the ASMP National Board.

Blom-Roemer is also a member of the Association of Independent Architectural Photographers (AIAP), the International Association of Architectural Photographers (IAAP) where she is a client needs forum lead, the Real Estate Photographers of American and International (REPAI), and has been an affiliate member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in Kansas City.

Before moving to French Settlement in the fall of 2011, Blom-Roemer helped resurrect a dormant ASMP chapter in Kansas City, serving both as the Vice President, and later it’s President. Her efforts included bringing Canon Explorers of Light presenters to the area, and to establish regular educational and networking events. All these activities were designed to enhance the professional development opportunities in the region.

ASMP is the premier trade association for photographers, providing members with all the tools, information and support needed to run successful photography businesses. ASMP members are recognized as a community of forward-thinking professionals. More information about ASMP is available at http://www.asmp.org.
