Professional Portrait Photographers: Create an Irresistible Offer For Ideal Clients
THE AGE CAMPAIGN & THE SECRET SAUCE
Hear from some of the first 700 photographers
Does This Sound Familiar?
“Where on earth will I find my next client?”
“I’ve built a beautiful portfolio of portraits and I’m so ready to serve luxury clients. But where are they? How do I get them in the door?!”
“I love being a photographer and I’m passionate about it. But will I ever make enough money from this? Or am I just kidding myself?”
“I’ve already invested a lot in my business. But I’m still not getting results. Was it a huge mistake? How do I justify all this cash I’ve spent on my business?”
“I’m not confident enough to charge more. What if my clients realize that my competitors charge less? I can’t afford to lose them.”
“I can’t do this anymore! I’m doing all the client calls, bookkeeping, editing, cleaning the studio, organizing my gear, sending emails, posting on socials, marketing, advertising, aaagh!…Is this really how it’s supposed to be?
If You Were Reading This Thinking...
“How Does Dina Know What's Keeping Me Up at Night?!”
That’s because…
I was once like you.
Started my own professional photography business…
Bought some high-tech gear and stunning props…
Rented a fancy studio in the heart of town…
But all of the enthusiasm slowly dropped off when
I struggled with leads and sales for months and months.
What’s worse is…
I didn’t have a clear backup plan.
But that was before I discovered something that helped me do a complete 180…
And if you keep on reading, you’ll find out how you can do the same for yourself.
Here’s what is POSSIBLE…
WHAT IF YOU…
Knew that you could book new high ticket clients and have $10k, $15k, $20k++ months while working with your perfect, most ideal DREAM clients?
Had a steady stream of client leads whenever you wanted, so you could be picky about who you wanted to work with and say NO to everyone else confidently? - because you knew you would never run out of leads.
Woke up with your email inbox full of inquiries from people reaching out to work with you - instead of you chasing after them... every single day?
Were happy looking at your bank account at the end of each month - knowing that you could pay your bills, save for the rainy days, and live a comfortable life with your family?
Enjoyed more balance in your life without sacrificing your relationships or your mental health?
Do these sound like the dream that you envisioned when you decided to make money with your insanely good photography skills?
I KNOW YOU WANT ALL OF THESE.
AND YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY HAVE THEM!
…and actually, YOU DESERVE to have THEM.
But do you know why you’re not enjoying them right now?
You don’t have a clear, coherent, and effective marketing plan. Your marketing right now is inconsistent (at best) or non-existent (at worst).
You don’t have a clear niche and you’re marketing to “everyone” - which is a deadly mistake. As a result, your marketing is falling flat and not resonating with anyone.
Your packages are too basic and don’t appeal to the luxury clientele.
Your market has evolved to value a personal touch, an authentic connection, and a luxurious experience - are you keeping up?
You don’t have a solid business model or the back-end processes that support you in executing projects seamlessly. This leads to unnecessary overload and a barrage of busywork - that burns you out and makes you want to quit. (Been there myself.)
You don’t have anyone who has done it guiding you on how you should market your photography business - you're mostly doing guesswork.
Psssst...
Here’s My Little Secret…
You don’t need to spend the next several years making mistakes and figuring it out on your own.
All you need is a customized strategy
PLUS
a step-by-step procedure to help you implement the proven systems that will allow you to position yourself as a luxury brand photographer and finally level up into being a
multiple 6-figure business owner.
I can show you exactly HOW.
This is why I created…
The Secret Sauce Method
Imagine with Me for a Second...
What would it be like to be booking dream clients at premium prices - finally feeling confident that you’ll deliver an unforgettable experience that’ll make your clients say: “WOW!"?
How would you feel seeing your clients flaunt your work all over social media - and giving you glorious shout-outs that attract overflowing inquiries?
Picture a whole wall of glowing 5-star reviews on your website — each of them validating your priceless creative genius and the luxurious experience you deliver for your clients.
What would it be like to shave off 10+ hours of busywork from your calendar every week - because you have simple, effective systems that get sh*t done automatically? (Yes, it’s possible and I’ll show you how!)
Imagine being able to finally support yourself (and your family) like the real boss that you are - without worrying about bills, depriving yourself of avocado toast, or ignoring your retirement accounts?
The SECRET SAUCE CAMPAIGN METHOD
It’s a 90 day coaching program for photographers who want to get portrait and boudoir clients regularly and automatically using campaigns and ads.
This is for you if you want to fill your calendar, your bank accounts,
and your hearts with clients you’re dreaming about working with.

Life Before the

Even though you’re burning the candle at both ends, you’re not making any meaningful progress in your business.
You have trouble focusing on your business - and find yourself getting distracted four times a minute!
You’ve invested too much money into your website, social media, and all the fancy bells and whistles - but your back end is a whole raging dumpster fire!
You desperately need more bookings to keep going - and you’ve no idea where they’re going to come from.
You’re frequently getting burned out, dropping the ball on paying clients, and feeling exhausted all the time!
Life After the
Secret Sauce

You’ll be charging premium rates to clients who absolutely adore you - and they’ll be blown away by your incredible experience!
You’ll be laser-focussed on the most important tasks (while automating everything else).
Your back-end systems will be on-point - and supporting your premium client experience, all day everyday!
You’ll have bookings and sales calls coming into your calendar - every single week - and you’ll be able to say no to clients
who aren’t a good fit!
You’ll be well-rested and have the freedom to enjoy your success - while being fully prepared to deliver a mind-blowing experience to your clients.
Don't Take My Word for It!
Listen to how they took action and achieved their dream life.
MEET LAUNA
JUST STARTED WEEKS AGO
"Dina does indeed have the secret sauce. Im only on day 4 and literally drowning in leads from the campaign.
Also, Dina is so easy to worn with and goes above and beyond to give you 1:1 attention. Her staff too, is top notch.
I would buy this program one thousand times over.
I'm a new photographer, just getting started, so if this can work for me, pretty sure anyone can have great results."
LAUNA
MEET WHITNEY
MADE $110K WITH HER CAMPAIGN
"I started getting leads immediately after Dina helped me create my sales funnel. Better yet, they are most perfect, ideal clients!"
"This program seriously exceeded my expectations in every way.
I would work with Dina again in a heartbeat."
WHITNEY
MEET JANA
12 BOOKINGS IN A WEEK
“Always thankful to Dina Mande for showing us the way to successful advertising on FB. Before the pandemic, I had booked 27 shoots from an ad that only ran for 3 days!
On June 14, my studio finally reopened, and all those shoots got shifted to the summer months. But let me tell you, it only takes one of the leads to funnel you into your correct demographic!
My first client since the shutdown told her friends, which led to over 20 leads,
12 of them booked within the week! It’s crazy busy at my studio.”
JANA
BUT WILL IT WORK FOR ME?

Hi, I'm Dina, and here’s how I went from zero to overflowing leads...
But first, a quick intro.
I'm the founder of the Next Level Photographers and the creator of the Secret Sauce Campaign Method, which has now helped transform the lives and businesses of over 300 photographers all over the world.
I'm also a filmmaker, a commercial director, and a portrait and boudoir photographer based in Paso Robles, California. I'm a wife, a mom, and a BFF, and have been self-employed since 2005.
When I started my portrait studio in 2017, I was just like most photographers. I truly struggled to get clients in the door...until I figured out Facebook ads.
And during 2020 (Covid times) I decided to grow my mentoring and coaching business and dove in headfirst.
Guess what?
The unbelievable happened.
I went from zero leads to needing to shut my ads off because I had clients literally chasing ME to work with them...instead of the other way around. Talk about living the dream!
Now, whenever I need more leads, I turn my ads on and I get booked up...and so do the photographers who work with me!
That’s exactly what the Secret Sauce campaign method is all about -
HELPING YOU FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS - AND TUNE OUT 👏 EVERYTHING 👏 ELSE!!
There’s ZERO fluff in the program - only strategies and support that you need to succeed in your business AND thrive in your personal life.
You’re in the right place (finally) - so don’t wait any longer!
These could be you in the next few days…
…if you take action now.

These talented photographers can’t stop raving about the
Secret Sauce Campaign Method
Still on the fence? I heard you say…
“Okay...this is interesting. But how do I know if I’m the right fit for this program?”
OK, real talk… this program is NOT for everyone.
As much as we’d love to support every photographer, we have to be picky about who we accept into the program.
Our number one priority is to ensure that our existing community of clients is protected and supported in the best possible way - so we hold high standards around integrity, customer service, and personal responsibility for new clients.
With that out of the way, here’s a basic list of requirements for our program. If you fit the bill, we’d love to have you join us!
This Program Is
Right for You If …
You’ve built a portfolio that you love...(or sessions for at least a few clients.) I've seen this work with only one good session to show!
You WANT to deliver a high-value, luxury experience to clients - and do a great job for them!
You have (or want to have) at least a $2,000 average sale and want (or need to) make at least $120k/year.
You’re willing to take personal responsibility for your results in this program (and we won’t be your babysitter in this process).
You actively want a sustainable and profitable photography business - and you’re willing to do what it takes
You’re ready to invest time, money and energy into our business - and you’re serious about having a business (not a hobby).
You’re willing to be valuable for the community, bring positive energy and a spirit of community over competition.
This Program Is *Not*
Right for You If …
You are not willing to take responsibility for your results.
You don’t want to do the work to grow your business.
You want a space where you can complain and moan about how nothing is working for you.
You don’t want a community of smart, committed, talented photographers on the same path.
You don’t care about delivering a high-value experience to clients!
You’re looking for a quick fix to solve all your problems.
You’re not ready to invest at least 2 hours a week to your business.
You won't do the work, won't show up to calls and won't ask questions if you get stuck. (Don't be that guy!)
BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK WINS for our SECRET SAUCE PHOTOGRAPHERS
If you’re losing hope and wanting to give up on your business…
DON’T!
You can have overflowing leads ready at your disposal anytime.
“I Don’t Have Enough Time..”
I totally get it - most of our clients are busy and overwhelmed when they come to us.
The good news is: we’re all about doing LESS but doing right things - and automating everything else. With our done-for-you templates and resources - you’ll be reducing your workload AND increasing your income!
Talk about a win-win!
“I’m Scared of Making the Investment”
I hear ya! That’s exactly why the program is set up to help you get a full ROI on the program investment - with just 2 new clients. (YES!)
Most of our clients are able to accomplish this within the first 60 days of the program - so they’re well on their way to make 10X-25X the investment (or more) within 1 year!
“I Don’t Feel Confident in Myself”
The thing about confidence is: you don’t get it by sitting at home and meditating on it. Confidence comes from action.
That’s why we have weekly support systems in place to show you exactly what you need to work on - and give you guidance when you’re stuck.
By getting started and seeing initial results, you’ll feel confident right away - and that positive momentum builds on itself and delivers compounding effects.
The key is to get started now - knowing that confidence will follow shortly!
“I Don’t Have All My Ducks in a Row Yet...”
Perfectionism can be the killer of dreams. Perfectionists think they need everything to be “just right” before they can start charging premium rates. This is NOT true!
As long as you have the ability to get the job done - you can go ahead, design high-end experiences, and start profiting from delivering them.
If you choose to invest in adding advanced systems and tools at a later stage, that’s totally fine, but you don’t need to right now. Stay focused on what actually moves you forward.
Right now, you’re left with two choices...
Jump In or Wait
Let’s face it...YOU WILL NEVER “BE READY.” No one is ever “READY” when they’re taking a big dang leap to change for the better.
They jump in with their heart - because they know they need to jump. They know that staying in the same place, and doing the same things, will only lead to the same results.
Yes, you can start next year - but after a year of the pandemic, can you guarantee that you’ll be in a better place next year? No, none of us can.
Starting now means that you’ll be able to:
Have a photography business you love - running in a profitable and sustainable way - by this time next month!
Make meaningful connections with your clients that make them want to rave about you to all their friends and family!
Consistently attract the best clients at premium prices - and book them more easily!
Skyrocket your income - without increasing your workload.
If you wait, in 3, 6, or 12 months you’ll be in a very similar place to where you are now.
You’ll wish you had started today!
