About 6 months ago, I started to use IRIS works as my studio management program. After I had it all set up, I watched it do it’s magic.  As a photographer, we spend hours a day replying to emails, sending contracts, invoices, reminder emails, what to wear emails, thank you emails, etc etc.

Now, when I get an email, I put their information into Iris as a potential new client. Once they convert, I let Iris know, put their session into my Iris calendar (which will sync to my ical as well as google cal if you have that) and thats it! I have attached workflows for each of my types of sessions. For instance, if someone books a newborn lifestyle session, at the time of booking they will receive a questionnaire all of which will help me guide our session together.  In that, they enter their address, etc. All of that info that my client enters goes into their file. I don’t enter a thing. You can have auto emails set up, contracts in there as well as invoices.

After I enter my client into my calendar, I head over to invoice them for their session fee. I literally add in the drop down what I want, pick a client, and click go. They can then pay on paypal right away. Contracts, the same thing. I pick a client, pick the type of contract, click go. They fill it out and it automatically goes into their file. Guess what. All of that took me 2 minutes. Ok… maybe 1.

And you know what all this means?

I get to see THESE 2 goofballs, more. 🙂

We are in the deep part of summer right now, which means many maternity sessions are held IN the studio! St. Louis summers can be VERY hot for very pregnant soon to be moms. However, to be fair, I LOVE simple maternity sessions.  A casual maternity photoshoot is simple to plan, stress free and all […]

Casual maternity photoshoot

Studio mini sessions are one of my favorite types of sessions to do. As any parent knows, to get a toddler to focus for more than 30 minutes takes a small miracle. That being said, sometimes parents get nervous that amount of time wont be long enough to warm up, especially with shy children. We […]
