Know what each client needs next
Every contact card shows the next step: send a reminder, follow up on a quote or today's shoot. One click takes you there, and what needs attention is at the top.

How it works
One line from enquiry to invoice
Every step follows on from the previous one. You never type anything twice and always see where a client stands.
-
Enquiry
Record every contact moment: phone, email or messaging. Everything is on your client's timeline.
-
Quote
Put together a quote from your products and packages. Accepted? It becomes a project right away.
-
Planning
Schedule the shoot in the calendar, with photographer and studio space, and keep track of tasks.
-
Album
Deliver the photos in an online album in your own style, for as long as you like. Your client picks favourites and requests retouches.
-
Invoice
Invoice in one go or with advance payments. Your client pays online or with the QR code, and you see at once what is outstanding.
Live shooting
Shoot tethered, every photo named right away
Shooting tethered with Capture One® or Adobe® Lightroom®? The live queue keeps track of who or what is in front of the camera: people for headshots and events, but also dishes on a food shoot or products on a product shoot.
- Built for shoots with many people or dishes in a row
- Fast naming, no typing
- No typos in file names
- Several locations at once, each with its own queue
-
Set up your queue
Participants sign up with a QR code. For a food or product shoot you paste your client's list, with a note per dish or product for on set. On the day you work full screen with large buttons, on a touchscreen too, and filter by department or location.
-
One click, the right name
In the live queue, click whoever or whatever is up next: the name is on your clipboard right away. Set up naming in Capture One once with the Clipboard token, and every next photo is automatically called something like Truffle_tagliatelle_0003. In Lightroom you paste the name into Shot Name on the tethered bar.
-
Photos land in the right place
Folder Watch uploads your exports. By file name, every photo goes to the right person or dish, and the album shows the name as a caption.
-
Your client watches live
Turn on the live session: your client sees every new capture on their phone and marks favourites with a heart, which get a colour in Capture One right away. At an event you show the latest photo on a big screen.
What it looks like
Calm, clear and fast
Everything you need where you expect it. Also in a dark theme, for long evenings at the computer.
Quotes that add up
Products, packages, extras and payment terms in one quote, with your own texts and terms.
Packages you set up once
Build a package from your own products, with a fixed price, VAT, contents and extras. In the quote it is a single line.
Your week at a glance
Shoots, introductory meetings and deliveries in the calendar, linked to client and project.
From approval to delivery
Every project on the board, from confirmed to delivered. You can only deliver once the shoots, retouches and invoices are done, and once everything is paid the project closes by itself.
Everything about a shoot on one screen
Participants, queue, album, live session and sign-up of a shoot together. What you rarely change folds away, and on a big shoot the contents menu takes you straight to the right part.
Participants pick their own time
Share the sign-up link or the QR code: participants pick a free time slot and are in your queue right away. Full time slots can no longer be chosen.
Albums in your style
Colours, fonts and layout of your online albums, with an instant preview of the result.
A portal of their own for your client
Your client logs in with a code sent by email and sees their quotes, projects, invoices and albums. They accept a quote there with one click.
Light or dark
Prefer a dark screen, for example when editing in the evening? Choose the dark theme and the whole app follows.
Features
Made for the way photographers work
Not a generic CRM you have to set up yourself, but a studio workspace that understands what a shoot is.
Your studio at a glance
The start page shows what is under way from enquiry to invoice, your next shoot and what needs attention today.
Clients and contact moments
One overview per client: enquiries, quotes, projects, invoices and a timeline of everything that happened.
Switch quickly
Import your clients from Excel or CSV and get started right away. The starter kit with rates, texts and email templates is ready for you.
Quotes with packages
Work with your own products, packages and extras. Standard texts and terms are ready to use.
Photo shoots and participants
Let participants sign up with a QR code and work with a live queue on the day of the shoot.
Albums in your own style
Choose colours, fonts and layout for your online albums, so every album feels like your studio.
Selection and retouches
Clients mark their favourites and request retouches, straight from the album.
Calendar and tasks
Schedule shoots, photographers and rooms, and keep track of tasks per project.
Automatic emails
Confirmations, reminders and album links go out by themselves, with your own email templates.
Invoices and advance payments
Invoice from the project, in one go or with advance payments. If an invoice is overdue, the reminder is ready for you.
Online payments
Your client pays through your own Mollie account or scans the QR code on the invoice. The payment shows up in the app by itself.
Invoices by the rules
E-invoices for business clients, reverse-charge VAT within the EU and the Dutch small business scheme: your invoice is right, without the arithmetic.
Events at several locations
Shoot at several locations at once, each with its own photographer, queue and sign-up QR code. In the album every location has its own section.
In your client's language
Quotes, emails, client portal and reports in Dutch or English, with one email template for both languages.
Work with your team
Give an employee or your accountant exactly the access they need, with fixed roles. Just tick a box, nothing to configure.
Smart help with AI
Less typing, more shooting
AI does the first draft: a quote, a product description or a style. You read along, adjust and decide. Nothing goes to your client without you having seen it.
-
A quote from an enquiry
Based on the contact moments with a client, the AI drafts a quote with the right products and packages.
-
Writing texts
Product descriptions, package contents, the introduction and closing of a quote, and terms: one click for a first version in your tone.
-
A style from your logo
Upload your logo or a photo and get an album style with matching colours, which you then refine yourself.
-
Bring your existing emails
Paste the HTML of an email you already use and the AI turns it into editable blocks in your email templates.
