Built Around the Way Photographers Actually Work

Every feature exists to reduce the admin around a shoot: consistent client records, defined project stages, editing progress notes and repeatable delivery checklists, all in one structured workspace.

View Software Packages

Client Record Organisation

Every enquiry can be stored as a structured client record rather than an email thread.

  • Store customer names
  • Record contact details such as email and telephone
  • Add the enquiry source and first contact date
  • Keep shoot preferences and client requests together
  • Link each client to their related projects
  • Add internal notes that are not shared with the client
  • Search client records by name or detail

Project Management

Each booking becomes a project record with its own details and position in your workflow.

  • Create a project per booking or commission
  • Set shoot dates and target delivery dates
  • Assign a project category such as portrait, wedding, event, product or property
  • Record the agreed scope for the project
  • Keep location and logistics details
  • Track the current status at a glance
  • Group projects by client, category or stage

Workflow Stage Tracking

Defined stages remove ambiguity about where a project has reached.

  • Standard stages covering enquiry, booking, shoot, selection, editing, review and delivery
  • Move a project between stages as work progresses
  • Custom workflow-stage configuration on the Professional Studio System and above
  • See how many projects sit at each stage
  • Identify projects that have not moved for some time

Editing Progress

Large image sets are easier to manage when progress is recorded rather than remembered.

  • Record culling and selection progress
  • Note which sets have been edited
  • Record retouching requirements
  • Track review and approval notes
  • Add image-selection notes on supported packages
  • Mark an edit round as complete

Delivery Checklists

A repeatable list of steps before any gallery or file set is handed over.

  • Confirm the final selection is complete
  • Check file naming and export settings
  • Confirm the delivery format agreed with the client
  • Record the delivery date
  • Note any follow-up items such as prints or extra files
  • Mark the project as delivered

Project Notes and Search

Written detail stays attached to the right project instead of being scattered.

  • Structured note fields per project
  • Shot lists and client requests
  • Internal reminders
  • Search across clients and projects
  • Filter by stage, category or date
  • Sort by upcoming deadline

Summaries, Exports and Reporting

Produce a clear record of a project for your own files.

  • Project-summary exports on the Creator Workflow Package and above
  • Basic project reports on the Creative Team Workspace
  • Data-export options on the Complete Studio Platform
  • Summaries covering client, dates, stages and delivery details

Team and Setup Options

Larger packages add structure for more than one person.

  • Up to three permitted users on the Professional Studio System
  • Up to five permitted users on the Creative Team Workspace
  • Up to 15 permitted users on the Complete Studio Platform
  • Shared and team-oriented project structure where supported
  • Project activity records where supported
  • Initial setup assistance and priority onboarding on the Complete Studio Platform
