The best photography software to use in 2024

 

Going into 2023 with the best photography software will help you keep on track within your photography business.  Over the last few years I have invested time and money into systems to move from glorified hobby to profitable small business.  These tools have help simply and systemise the business side of photography.  Let’s face it, business doesn’t come easy to a lot of creatives.

This list of photography software and courses are what I personally use and can’t be sure if I would be here without them.

Disclaimer – I wouldn’t put an item on this list if it didn’t already be transformational to my small business. Some links give us both percentage off, others are affiliate links.  With cost of living rising, we can all help each other with keeping business numbers down – win/win.

As a small-business-photographer-wife-mum, my time is precious.  I have limited time, and in order keep my life in order, these are the tools helping me in 2023.  I have grown a lot over the last two years and grateful to invest in the best photography software.

Online Photo Gallery: PicTime

In 2022 I moved to Pic Time as my online photo gallery provider and it has been a game changer!!!  It came as a referral from business coach (link below).  I moved from another popular gallery also starting with P.  It has a beautiful interface, sleek, and easy to use.  Clients have commented “even I can use this, it is so simple”.  Pic Time has beautiful AI store technology that shows the clients images in the products.  The single most amazing features I love are the automations.  There are many automations to install; early bird discounts, expirations and the Simple Sales (more on that below too!).  These automations send all the email to clients without me having to remember to do it.

For each friend who upgrades to a paid plan, we’ll both receive one month FREE! PicTime referral promo code: EDYUC6

 

 

Business Coaching: Kyle Goldie

2021 I needed help and direction in my hobby turn busy.  After years doing it on my own, I saw Kyle Goldie pop up on one of the socials and booked a discovery call.  During that call, with an outsider, he showed that proof is in the data.  I was doing what I thought was the right thing: blogging every session about the Smith* Family as City* Family Photographer and quickly learned that I was hurting my visibility.  The saying “you don’t know what you don’t know” is very true.  I signed up to Kyle’s mastermind program and have learnt and grown so much.  As a coach he is there for support, and to help us find the answers.  He is direct and to the point but cares deeply for each of us in the program.  Over the last 12 months, I have new beautiful website (his template) and host (listed below). I’ve learnt about mindset and boundaries.  His program has helped me be found and booked by search engines and doors have opened that I could only dream of.  2022 has been a hot sweaty mess and I looking forward to refining my business in 2023.

The app in PicTime is Simple Sales System and it was created by Annime Tomkin.  This course covers nitty-gritty pricing and business.  It can seem daunting to deal with numbers, but these numbers are what help keeps small businesses in business.  The automation is incredible!
