DWF Featured Member Dalisa Cooper


If you've ever met her you'd know that Dalisa Cooper is the type of person who gets what she wants and has lots of fun doing it! Even calling herself a modern day "Lucy".

We interviewed the woman and driving force behind AltF incorporated. She shares that before she married John (JMC) she wondered "How such an amazing photographer was so terrible at being a businessman." She goes on to tell us how she became involved in the business.

So where is the corner they're cutting to bring brides photography this low? Time will tell.
