One on One Mentoring |
 Year
after year, DWF Convention attendees say it’s one of the most
valuable reasons to attend the convention. The Mentor Sessions
are your opportunity to spend 45 minutes in private
consultation with an accomplished photographer. And what a
list of mentors the DWF has assembled: You could get
one-on-one time with Jerry Ghionis, Kevin Kubota, Jim Garner,
Jeff & Julia Woods, or David Beckstead.
And there are many more mentors involved, but you have to
attend the DWF Convention sponsored by
Simply Canvas, to take
advantage!

DWF Members on Today Show! |
 Tuesday
morning, DWF members John Michael Cooper and Lynn
Michelle were featured on a Today Show segment about
Trashing the Dress.
It was supposed to be air Monday, but got bumped because of
urgent news about Jon
and Kate (not kidding!) All’s well that ends well, as a couple
of DWFers got some AWESOME publicity.

Is it Boudoir, or is it Porn? |
 It's

Porn?".
Not to mention a slew of helpful topics including:
"Photographers Madden Up Your Writing Skills", "Take the Shot"
and a Photoshop tutorial on "How to Approach Trimming the
Fat".

Your Ruined My Wedding Day! |
 Most
of us have heard that sentence from a bride who’s positively
stricken, because we didn’t get the shot of her mother fixing
her broken fingernail. But what do you do when that bride
delivers the second half of that sentence: “You ruined my
wedding day, and I want a full refund!”
Read one DWF member’s experience, and the very
worthwhile advice from dozens of members who’ve been down that
road.
