The shoot ends.
The relationship doesn’t.

A job tells you what you’re doing. A client record tells you who you’re doing it for.

StudioStack starts with the client. Their preferences, conversations and history stay together as new enquiries become bookings and bookings become repeat work. You still get the detail of each job, with the bigger picture close by.

A familiar place
for every client.

One branded portal for their photographs, bookings, briefs, contracts and invoices. No hunting through a new set of links after every shoot.

Clients can pay an invoice, manage their email preferences and connect Google Drive for gallery delivery. Protected changes require the named client to verify their email.

For weddings and events, create a separate presentation gallery with its own guest link. Share the photographs without sharing the client’s private portal.

A few useful answers.

Ask us something else
What makes a client-first CRM different?

The client is the starting point. Their enquiries, quotes, briefs, contracts, shoots, galleries and invoices stay together, even across several bookings. Jobs still have their own details, but each new shoot adds to an existing relationship.

Is StudioStack only for repeat clients?

No. It works for one-off shoots too. The same client record takes you from the first enquiry through the agreement, booking, delivery and payment, ready if they return.

How much does StudioStack cost?

StudioStack costs £22.49 per workspace per month, with a 30-day free trial and no card required to start. No VAT is charged. Stripe’s applicable payment processing and invoicing fees are separate.

What is StudioStack?

StudioStack is a photography CRM and studio management platform. It keeps enquiries, quotes, briefs, contracts, jobs, galleries and invoices together under each client, with a separate portal for sharing work and managing payments.

Can I schedule shoots with no end date?

Yes. A recurring series can run without an end date. Choose how far ahead jobs are created, then update one booking or future bookings when plans change. You can pause or end the series at any time.

Can one invoice include several delivered jobs?

Yes. Set an invoice cadence for each client, such as weekly or monthly. Choose whether delivered jobs, completed jobs or either are eligible for the next batch. You can hold a job back, prepare drafts for review or issue a batch early.

How do clients pay?

Clients can pay inside their portal through your connected Stripe account. Supported options include cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay on eligible devices, and bank transfers with automatic reconciliation where supported by your Stripe account. Cash and manual bank transfers can be recorded separately.

Do clients need an account to see their photographs?

Clients can use their private portal link to access shared galleries, bookings and invoices. You can protect portal access with a password. They do not need a photographer subscription.

Does StudioStack work on mobile?

Yes. The photographer dashboard and client portal are designed for mobile browsers, so you can check jobs and payments while clients view their work on their phones.
