Sound Familiar?

The Monterey Food & Product Photographers struggle

You got into this to shoot. Not to drown in admin work.

🔁

Recurring clients, recurring chaos

Your restaurant clients need new menu shots quarterly. Your e-commerce clients send product batches monthly. Without a system, recurring work falls through the cracks.

Client profiles track every shoot, making it easy to manage ongoing relationships and rebookings.

📋

Licensing and usage terms are critical

A restaurant using your image on their menu is different from a brand using it in a national ad campaign. Unclear licensing costs you money.

Contract builder lets you specify usage rights, licensing tiers, and exclusivity terms per project.

💸

Project-based pricing is complex

Day rates, per-image pricing, styling fees, prop sourcing, retouching — every project quote has different components stacked together.

Flexible invoicing handles any pricing structure with custom line items for every service.
