My Studio Books — The CRM for Photographers Who Remember
A 24-hour founder window · Help us build it

The CRM for photographers who remember.

For 24 hours, we're opening doors to founding members at $75 — a full first year of access while we build My Studio Books in stages, alongside you. This is a buy-in to help shape it, not a launch of a finished product.

24 hours. Two ways in. Then the doors close.

The problem

Every CRM treats your clients like strangers.

You photographed her maternity in March. Her newborn in May. Her one-year cake smash next spring. Her second pregnancy two years later. Most CRMs file every session as a separate project, scattered across years, disconnected from the family they belong to. You end up rebuilding context from memory — or worse, from notes you can't find. My Studio Books was built to fix exactly that.

What it does

Less software. More work that matters.

Nine things, done deeply, instead of forty things done halfway.

01

Family-first client memory

One profile per family. Pregnancies, kids, due dates, birthdays, and every session you've photographed — across years. My Studio Books remembers so you don't have to.

02

Session-type workflows that fire on their own

Book a maternity session and the prep guide goes out two weeks ahead. Book a newborn and a different guide goes. Book a milestone and a third. All editable. All in your voice. All on rails.

03

Visual pipelines for every shoot

Prep · Shoot · Cull · Edit · Order · Deliver · Follow up. See exactly where each client is, what's next, and what's stuck. Drag-and-drop, made for busy brains.

04

Galleries built in, not bolted on

No more Pic-Time tab plus Pixieset tab plus your CRM tab. Galleries live inside My Studio Books. Your client sees one branded experience, gets the photos, leaves a review.

05

Inquiries that don't fall through

Auto-acknowledge new leads in seconds, not days. See your response time on a dashboard. Bring "I'm bad at replying" down to "I never miss one."

06

The "what's next" your clients keep asking for

Every family gets a private link to see exactly where their session is in the process. No more emails asking when the photos will be ready.

07

Birthdays and anniversaries that bring them back

My Studio Books knows when every baby you've photographed turns one, and when every family's first session was — and quietly reminds you, and them, when it's time to come back.

08

Reviews & tips, asked for you

After you deliver a gallery, My Studio Books emails the family to ask for a Google review — and invites an optional tip — right at the moment they are happiest with their photos.

09

An inquiry form for your website

Embed a booking inquiry form on your own site. New enquiries land straight in your pipeline, acknowledged automatically, so none of them slip away.

From the photographers we built this for

We listened to 29 of you. This is what you said.

“EASY... I need EASY. I don't need to learn another program just to get frustrated.”

— Heather · 17hats user

“I want a funnel that tracks steps for each client. I have tried several sold by photographers.”

— Barbara · no current CRM

“Would be great to have repeat clients together with all their sessions vs spread out as separate projects.”

— Eleanor · 17hats user

“EMAILS that the clients actually get. That do NOT go to spam.”

— Christine · studio with team

“I would love the option to have someone set it all up for me and show me how to use it.”

“All-in-one system would be most amazing. And something budget friendly.”

How this works

A 24-hour window. Then we build together.

This isn't a product launch. It's a founders' buy-in to a build-in-progress — your $75 covers the first year of access while we develop My Studio Books in stages, with you in the room.

01

You buy in during the 24-hour window

One payment of $75 reserves your founding member spot. After 24 hours, the offer closes and won't be repeated.

02

You join the private founding member Facebook group

Right after the window closes, every founder gets an invite to a private, invite-only group. That's where we share build progress, gather feedback, vote on features, and decide together what gets built next.

03

You get access within a week — sooner if we can

Initial CRM pages with starter features go live within seven days of your purchase. From there, new features roll out in stages. You're using My Studio Books while it grows, not waiting for a finished product.

04

You're patient and present, and the product gets better

This is a build phase. Some weeks you'll see big leaps; some weeks you'll see fixes. Bring your patience and your honest feedback — it's the trade for the lowest founding price we'll ever offer.

05

You choose your founding path

Two ways to buy in during the window: $75 for your first year (then continue on regular subscription), or $300 for lifetime access — a rare, one-time offer for founders who trust the vision. Both close when the window does.

Why join now

Do the math.

Most photographer CRMs run about $400–$650 a year — every year, at prices that keep climbing. And you still pay separately for gallery delivery. Founding members get in for $75 the first year, or $300 once for lifetime access.

What you’ll spend over five years
A typical CRM bills you again every single year. A lifetime founding seat is paid once — and never again.

“I've been a maternity and newborn photographer for 27 years. I've tried every CRM the industry sells us. None of them get how we actually work. So I'm building the one I've always wanted. If you've been waiting for someone in our world to do this — you found us.”

— Ana Brandt, Founder
