PRO Boudoir Forum is Live!
forumToday, the DWF debuts the new PRO Boudoir Forum. It's the new place for PRO members to post their work and share tips about the art and business of Boudoir.

You're probably discreet about your work, but don't be shy about posting because you're in good company. Our new forum is guided by resident DWF boudoir experts Amy Regeti, Jennifer Skog, Critsey Rowe, Tammy Warnock, Judy Cormier, and Cory Ann Ellis.

I Have a Stupid Question!
studentWe all know there are no stupid questions. But when you have a very basic question about the business, you're scared about posting and embarrassing yourself in front of thousands of professionals.

The DWF Student Forum is the perfect place to ask that question! It's a safe place where you can ask - or answer - questions about the basics of our business. Don't be shy, that's why it's there!

A Lame Way to Lose Business
emailYou might be losing weddings simply because you're not getting all of your incoming emails!

You're thinking "not me!" At the DWF we know that members are missing emails, because the ones we send to you are bouncing back to us.
And those same people are losing other emails for some very technical reasons. Our Chief Geek, Mark Lutz sounds the alarm, looks at what you can do, and answers questions in this PRO thread.

Sandy Puc Tour Discount

Two Great Featured Members

This week's WedFog Featured photographer is Neil Cowley. A self described wedding "crasher" Neil shares with us what makes him tick as a photographer.

It Ain't All Bad
dwfEverywhere you turn there's talk about recession. Turn on the tube and you see dire warnings about darker days to come. But in the real business world there are still good, positive, things happening. Even more encouraging, since the discussion started Monday in DWF PRO Business, there's been a FLOOD of comments from members sharing triumphs and tips for success.
Hideout Chatter
Welcome to our newest photographer Eve Violet Earles, newborn daughter of longtime DWF member Dawn Earles!

Our condolences to Christina Smith on the loss of her mother.

Members are putting down the camera and discussing their theories about LOST.
