Discount Codes
In this section, you will find various discount codes that will benefit you when using them. I personally use all of these products or companies in my photography business. I never promote a product or company before testing and believing in what they have to offer.
Some companies give me a kickback or incentive when my codes are used, but not all of them do that. In fact, many companies offer incentive codes for everyone who signs up with them, not just influencers in the industry. When you sign up for some of these companies, you may be offered your own discount code to share.
I never promote a company just because they asked me to promote them. In fact, I've turned down companies because some didn't fit my business and I wouldn't feel right about promoting a product that I wouldn't use.
My point is that I love these companies. I want to share how great they are with you and save you some money in the process.
MoLight
I use MoLights for my entire studio. Photographer Michael Mowbray is the guy behind MoLight and his customer service is outstanding. MoLights are Godox branded lights. They are easy to use, portable and so affordable. I love them! Powerful HSS and TTL that work with ease. Use DAN20 to save $20 on any order that is $399 or more. It may be used once per customer.
My Photo App
I've been making apps for my clients for several years using My Photo App. It is a great app building program and so easy to use. You can do so much with it including add forms to collect data, text alerts, tracking, adding videos and so much more. The owner is always adding new features to make it even better. This is a great little marketing tool that has made a huge impact on my studio.

Animoto
Making slideshows has never been easier. I use Animoto to quickly make powerful, tear jerking slideshows for every client. I show these slideshows to open up my sales sessions. Talk about a powerful first impression! This gets the sales process rocking right off the bat!

Fundy
I use Fundy to design my clean, modern albums. I also use the Fundy Image brander for putting watermarking my images and Fundy Blog Creator for adding several images together for a blog post. I love how easy and fast Fundy makes everything for me.
Use the code DAN50 for $50 off the Album Suite or the Pro Suite Good until 12/31/18
PhotoBiz
My Frievalt Photography website is done by PhotoBiz. What I love most about PhotoBiz is that you always get to speak with a real person from the time you first start using them and every step of the way after. They always are super helpful with any questions you may have. They also have helped me optimize my site to get better SEO which has been a huge bonus! All of the sites are customizable templates which is cool because if you want to change things up, all you have to do is click a new template and you are done! You can get started for no setup fee with this deal.
