types-- which is why we LOVE that she’s posted an entire
portfolio’s worth of images -- as she puts it -- of little
girls, big girls, and in-between girls.

portrait shoot in the high desert. Armed only with a snowboard

promise to myself to get out and shoot for fun as much as
possible.. I swear we spent most of the morning giggling like
kids in a candy shop."Also on the DWF blog this week:

Do I Have To? Really?! |
 There
are parts of the wedding day you’re SICK of shooting.
Admit it.
While some DWF members dream about skipping the boring
parts of the day, DWF PRO Cliff Mautner has some tough
love: Get over it. As we work our way through the heat of
wedding season, read comments from one of the greats, and join
a fascinating community discussion that is guaranteed to put
you on the right page, before your next shoot.

Facebook PRINTS Your Pics! |
 Facebook
has teamed with Target and Walmart to offer direct-from-Facebook
printing.
Walmart and Target both have rules about reprinting photos
with a copyright, but they’ve found a way around it. Once
your client posts an image on Facebook, THEY own it. DWF
members give the facts on another new trend that affects our
businesses, and what you can do to avoid getting ‘ripped off’.

'Slicing' Up The Wedding Shoot |
 No
wedding shoot goes as planned, but one DWF Pro found the
formals suddenly postponed because the bridal party wanted to
squeeze in an unscheduled round of golf. Not 9 holes, all 18!
Hard to believe? See the photos for yourself. DWFers
discuss how to avoid ‘teeing’ off the bride and groom when the
wedding goes off course.
