Help Me Sell a Second Shooter to my Brides |
 When
you talk to potential clients, you can tell them “we don’t
miss anything at your wedding. Hire us because you get TWO
photographers!”
Since other studios offer the same thing, how do you
distinguish yourself? Visit this Pro Business discussion
called “Help me sell second shooters to my brides!” Then visit
the DWF Classifieds where members offer shooting
opportunities, and advertise their availability. (there’s
no charge)

expanding a network into a business that’s tripled in size
over the past year. And her work? Take a look!
You’ll find Teresa hangin’ out, posting images, and her
thoughts in the DWF Pro Portrait Forum.

The PRO Vendors & Seminars Forum |
 One
of the most useful tools on the DWF for finding out about
seminars and industry vendors. The Vendor & Seminar forum
is where DWF members discuss their good, and sometimes
bad experiences with companies and workshops.
If you're thinking about a workshop or
seminar, or a new vendor it's an excellent resource.

Average Joe and the Average Photographer |
 You’ve
heard it before: A friend brags “I LOVE my photographer.
She’s awesome!” You look at the images and they’re nothing
special.
How can you establish that you’re worth thousands of
dollars, when clients can’t tell the difference between great
photography and ho-hum photography? Visit this discussion in
the PRO Art Forum..

BOUDOIR: High School Pin Up Session |
 How
in heck do you shoot a boudoir session with a high school
girl? The answer, of course, is tastefully— but there’s a lot
of discussion in the DWF Pro Boudoir Forum about what’s
“appropriate.”
DWF Pro’s are shooting teenagers, and making profits. Click

DWF U Was Back in Chicago |
 No,
not the wildly popular educational seminars--Timothy John was
recently in the Chicago metro area filming some excellent
educational content for all of us! He's got great info from a
handful of photographers including Rosalind on business
and profitability and Tim Coughlin on personality
profiling and communicating with clients. Look for these
lessons and more hitting DWF U this week!

FACEBOOK: No Mo Fans |
 The
Rumor Mill has it that Facebook is no fan of "Fans".
"Like" is about to replace "Become a Fan".
As small business owners we all know that what you say is
sometimes as important as how you say it. Already we fan, like
and even ignore! So how will this effect those of you with a
Facebook Fanpage? DWF members discuss whether or not
they "Like" it.
