DEBUT!! Wedding Photography Blog
blogToday, the DWF is proud to debut the brand new DWF Wedding Photography Blog. Our goal is to make it THE definitive daily read for wedding photographers. The new blog is public- no password required, and is already being updated by our staff of bloggers multiple times per day.

We'll cover everything important, and anything interesting to wedding and portrait photographers. You'll see everything from new camera announcements, to the marketing articles of interest, to the tawdry details about the model splitting her dress at a workshop. Make it part of your daily surf starting right now!

Help Wanted: Bloggers
jobWant to join our team of bloggers? If you'd like to join Carli Morgan, Matt Radlinski, and Mark Lutz blogging for the entire industry, we're ready to offer a few dollars industry wide attention, and great DWF SEO.

Requirements: That you know how to blog with wit and focus, and can blog about something other than yourself. Drop us a note-we're ready to expand the staff.

Big DWF Discount: The One Conference
woodsThe One Conference is all about being a married couple in the photography business, and we have a DWF Discount.

Hosted each year by Jeffrey and Julia Woods, the ONE Conference features DWF PRO members Dave and Quin Cheung from DQ Studios, Steve & Jen Bebb, along with Jeff & Julia, and other well-known couples who've made their mark on the industry, and still find time for what matters. DWF PRO members save an extra $100 per couple on registration.

Smile! Or Don't.
avatarThe best way to bond with the DWF Community? Post an avatar!

That little picture next to your name is the difference between you being a name on a computer screen, and being a real person. Over 10 years we've seen that people with avatars get more responses to their posts and have an easier time networking on the DWF. Our rule is simple: It has to be a photo of you, or by you.

We've posted a handy tutorial on how to post an avatar. Don't be shy!

Gallery Uploads: Easier!
galleryMore than a few (hundred) have said they browse the gallery on Friday night or Saturday morning before heading off for a shoot. The DWF Photo Gallery is a source of inspiration!

The good news: Uploading images to your own photo gallery on the DWF is easier than ever with our new flash-based uploader.

The PRO Marketing & Sales Forum
salesHave you dipped into the PRO Marketing & Sales forum yet? Since it's recent launch threads have been popping up discussing a wide variety of topics. Things like screen printed DVDs, pricing smaller events and discussing ala carte vs. package pricing.

The PRO Marketing & Sales forum is growing quickly to become one of the very best resources on the DWF for those interested in turning the dial on their profits up to 11.
DWF To The Rescue
helpPro member Chuck Arlund has recently been experiencing some health problems. He put out a call for help asking DWF Pro members to help out with an upcoming wedding. In typical DWF fashion, the community comes together to help Chuck out in his time of need.

We're always so moved and touched at how willing members are to go out of their way to help a fellow DWFer. Some have volunteered to fly across the country, at their own expense in order to lend a helping hand.
Featured Member: Robert Alvarado
robertDWF PRO member Robert Alvarado describes himself as just a regular guy. We've got news for you Robert, most regular guys do not have your talent for Pin-Up and Boudoir.

Inspired by some of the greats, Vargas, Olivia and Rockwell and for the past 4 years Robert has been chasing the dream of recreating the images he grew up with as a kid in the early 1950's.
