What's the difference between a
6-figure Photographer and you?
Running two successful photography studios over the years and being a keynote speaker at all of the huge conventions, I have learned that creating images that stand out and having a great business system is what makes or breaks a photographer...
You can have the most amazing photos in the world, but if you can't convince people of their value, your business will fold.
Let me know if this sounds familiar...
- Everyone is undercutting your prices or giving photography away for free...
- When you tried to market to Seniors, you hear crickets...
- If you do book a Senior, your sales are dismal...
You know things need to change...
you're frustrated that your not booking sessions
you’re tired of competing with the low-priced photographers in your area
you're sick of
working long hours with low sales
With Seniors, you usually run into one of the following problems:
✔️ THEY ARE ALWAYS WANTING SOMETHING NEW AND CREATIVE
While seniors can be a blast to photograph, they aren't an easy niche to master. Successful Senior Photographers are always working on their craft to stay on top of the ever-changing Senior market. This means always learning new techniques, styles, posing, fashion trends, lighting, social media hacks, etc.
✔️ THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS ALWAYS ARE CHANGING ALONG WITH THE TRENDS
It's very difficult to stay up with those trends and can be extremely time-consuming.
✔️ THEY ARE USED TO TAKING "SELFIES" THAT GENERATE TONS OF LIKES
Today's Seniors don't know life without a camera in their pocket. Always having a camera to capture every moment, they are conditioned to know what a good photo looks like and how to edit or apply filters to make a selfie look amazing with a quick push of a button.
Where does that leave you?
Feeling frustrated about the time and effort you are wasting creating photography that doesn't sell enough..
Imagine how it would feel to...
Have Seniors and Parents knocking down your door to be photographed by you because you have the proper marketing and sales systems in place.
Never freeze up or freak out during a session because you know exactly how to pose, light, and work with your Senior client to feel comfortable. And as a result of this incredible experience, they will instantly recommend you to others.
Be able to support yourself, and your family with quality paid sessions that don’t include working weekends but instead spending those weekends with your family.
You deserve everything you put your mind to and I'm going to help you get there.

Hi, I'm Dan Frievalt M.Photog, M.Artist, Cr.
Since 2005, I've been an award-winning professional photographer who specializes in High School Seniors.
I have been a keynote speaker around the country for several state and national photography conventions including Imaging USA, SYNC (Senior Youth National Conference), After Dark Education, SPI (Senior Portrait International), WPPI (Wedding and Portrait International), and Texas School for Professional Photographers.
Some personal accomplishments I'm proud of are being named Wisconsin Professional Photographer and Artist of the Year several times. My studio has also been named one of the Top 100 Studios in the Country. I have earned many awards including the Canon Par Excellence Award, Fuji Masterpiece Award, two ASP State Elite awards, PPA Platinum, Gold, and Silver awards, and three Kodak Gallery Awards and have been selected to represent Team USA in the Photographic World Cup.
I feel very blessed to be able to run a full-time photography studio and help others fulfill their dreams of making a living with their photography.
Good, because there's something I need to tell you.
With SU Insiders, you'll get hours of video training and business templates all focused on making you a photographer that Seniors seek out and demand their parents book you.... Meaning, you'll get video lessons on lighting, posing, styling, trends, photoshop composites, model teams, pricing, sales, social media, and much, much more. Plus live monthly group training to dive deeper into new content and a community of like-minded professionals all wanting to help you succeed.

...SU Insiders is an incredible value.
Rather than ask whether you can afford it, the question is..
Can you afford NOT to join SU Insiders and continue...
......waste time and money on YouTube or in Facebook Groups trying to find the secret sauce to booking Senior sessions or trying to learn complicated lighting or photoshop techniques.
......feeling frustrated over the dismal results you're getting
......worrying about your competitors and whether they're gaining on you
......wondering what you need to do to really increase sales so you feel confident your business will make it
Consider the cost of NOT acting today.
If you had to pay for a convention, it would cost more than $500-and that doesn't even include your travel, hotel, and dining expenses. That could run to over $2000. SU Insiders gets you the same amazing learning opportunity, plus year-round community support and costs a fraction of what going to a convention would cost...Plus you can learn everything from SU Insiders from the comfort of your home....pants optional ;)
