DWF Convention Keynote Speaker! |
 Thanks
to the outpouring of suggestions about DWF Convention 2011
we’re working hard to create the event YOU’VE requested.
We’re still hard at work on creating the program, but we can
leak one tiny bit of information right now: Our Keynote
Speaker will be the one and only Jerry Ghionis. You’d
better mark down Jan 16-19th on your calendar, and plan on
being in San Antonio. We’re putting together an amazing
line-up of great speakers, and intimate classes..

Cheap Thrills |
 It’s
sinful to even think about lowering your prices, right?
Here comes a DWF Pro member who lowered hers, and discovered
she’s having a helluva lot more fun shooting.
While many DWF Pros say there’s no way they’ll lower their
rates, other pros talk about the inexpensive events that have
been their most memorable. Whether you’d lower or prices or
not, join a spirited discussion about rates, quality of the
shooting experience, and see the evidence.

Mission Statement or Weasel Words? |
 A
conversation among DWF Pro’s that began with a cup of
Starbucks coffee has become a war of words over the value of
having a Mission Statement.
It’s not the same thing as a slogan. Do you know the
difference between the two? Fiery words and a huge
difference of opinion have shown up on the DWF over Mission
Statements. Do you have one? Does it guide you in your
business decisions? Is it baloney?

Fresh Portraits |
 Each
week, DWF Pros post their favorite portrait images from recent
shoots. No critiques, no wars. It’s just the way members
show off their latest work, and you should too.Head over to
the Pro Portrait Forum, check out the top thread with this
week’s Portrait favorites. You should be proud of *your*
professional work, so please- post yours!

Price War! |
 Do
you reconsider your approach to pricing during the slow
season?
One DWF Pro was asked to match the price of a competitor
for an out of season wedding and fellow DWFers are giving
valuable insight on handling hagglers. How do you decide when
it makes sense to cut your rates and when you should ‘hold the
line’? The issue may seem black or white, but there are some
important questions you should be asking yourself before you
decide.
