Want to get tons of HIGHLY motivated high school seniors in your door, and NEVER have to deal with school contracts or yearbook deadlines (even in a contract state) again? This promotion was written to bring in a high number of enthusiastic, excited teens to be photographed - and gets them in earlier than usual- extending your senior season by as much as 3 months.

If you’ve never done high school seniors before, this is the promotion that will absolutely put you on the map!  Year after year the promotion keeps us busy for months, and confounds other local photographers as they wonder how a guy that has no school contracts (Mike's in a very strict contract only area) yet consistently brings in so many seniors.

You will be thrilled with this promotion!

Just a quick note: The very 1st time I sent this out to a list of 650 prospects, I got over 120 responses from girls wanting to be my models!

Booking weddings getting tougher and tougher?

It sucks that everyone with a digital camera is shooting weddings now.

Want to weed through the price shoppers and get the type of clients you want? Mike Spatola's extremely powerful Wedding Sales Letter kit has been used and tested all over North America with incredible results, (and Mike enjoyed a $7000 average sale on weddings!)

Revised and Updated in 2008, this kit will book you 8 out of 10 brides that contact you with far less hassles than you've ever had in the past. The day of "thanks for your time, we have a few other photographers to meet, we'll call you in 2 weeks" is a thing of the past. Get your check at the 1st consultation every time. This kit will easily pay for itself on the very 1st booking.

Need more family or children's portrait sessions in your door?

Family portraits are about the most lucrative session you can do in the portrait business. This kit produces more sessions for you based around the simple holiday type promotion concept.

It can be used for Christmas portraits, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. The holiday is unimportant, you can use it for any holiday.

This promotion is about as easy as it gets, it's extremely inexpensive to produce- and the results are wonderful. You'll do this one year after year. I do!

Posing and Lighting the Female Form

If you photograph (or want to photograph), glamour, boudoir, models, high school senior girls or even pin-up photography- you will LOVE this 4 DVD set!

Posing and Lighting The Female Form is a 3 DVD video production teaching photographers (and models too) hundreds of poses and their variations as well as lighting for drama! 7 different models were used on this DVD set to help me demonstrate all the poses and lighting set-ups in great detail. Each model has their own segment that ranges from about 15-30 minutes and includes a complete portfolio slideshow of their finished images too. Running time is about 3 hours for the 3 DVDs. You will learn literally hundreds of variations.

As an included bonus, Mike created a companion guide with all the lighting diagrams so they can be easily recreated, with equipment used, camera settings and angles of light and illustrated using the photos of the models to depict how each set-up looks in the finished images.

Additionally, Mike created a photoshop action set that is included- and 10 quicktime movie photoshop tutorials showing all the retouching steps Mike uses, and showing you how he gets the finished look in all his images. You will find these Photoshop movies invaluable when photographing this type of subject matter!!

This BONUS DVD is included with the set- (4-DVDs in all, totaling nearly 5 1/2 hours of instruction). These photoshop movies alone are well worth the selling price of this kit by themselves- but those purchasing this kit get the tutorials for FREE as a bonus. This item is shipped to you after payment.
