What's With all the Secrecy?


Are you one of the many photographers who won't publish your phone number, and you hide your email address from public view? Do you worry that some potential clients might think you're a bit secretive?

Photographers discuss the most important page on your website. Why the secrecy on your contact page?


A $20,000 Shoot


What does a $20,000 shoot look like? You'll see as DWF member John Mireles shows you photos that look so simple.. but aren't.

Haggling with a Client


You can throw your hands up and snort "my prices are my prices." Or you can take lemons and make lemonade as one DWF member in California did when he was faced with a couple trying to re-negotiate the price AFTER the wedding.

Is it haggling or an opportunity?

Are you Insured?


DWF members are talking about their business insurance: Who covers their businesses, their equipment, and how much it costs.

Read their reviews of the various insurance companies, the premiums and the all important service.

See who covers cat pee.  Really.
