"We use StudioCloud and love it! To have access to your data from anywhere has been a major plus as we travel so much. We can check our sales figures, get a client’s address or phone number or run a report instantly as soon as we get online.
The program is easy to use, the invoices are easy to create and print and the reports are dynamic and helpful to assess our progress. Our studio is happy with the entire program that is so well thought out for a photography business. We also love the feedback feature that gives us a chance to voice our opinions or concerns, and StudioCloud is always prompt in addressing an issue.
We would recommend this program to anyone with a photography studio, whether just beginning or a seasoned pro! It is so helpful!"

"Wow! My staff and I are so impressed with StudioCloud. The simplicity and ease of use is phenomenal.
I love having a desktop studio management system that can also be accessed from any internet browser! It's perfect when I am out of the studio and need to know my schedule... I simply log on to any computer and my schedule is at hand! If our internet is down, we use the desktop version and our new information automatically updates when our internet service is restored! Amazing!
StudioCloud is an efficient, affordable and complete studio management program that I highly recommend to all photographers."

"Why do we love StudioCloud? Anytime, anywhere access to information! Client data, sales figures, and calendaring are all available at the click of a button. For us, with our busy travel schedules, having access to this information from any computer is critical.
We own two studios. Studio C and Salvatore Cincotta Photography. We have several employees on staff, not to mention various vendors that need access to schedules. We use the calendaring feature to share this access with the team and to ensure they are in the right place at the right time.
Its easy to use with a very small learning curve and easy to follow online tutorials. If you can navigate the internet, you can use this program. Its that simple."

Wow! What can I say about StudioCloud? It is the best studio software I have found on the market! How nice it is to finally have software that is easy to use. And speaking of using the software, I can access it anywhere - even from my iPhone. It sure helps me to look professional when I am on the road with a client and I access my schedule from my phone. And the staff is a lot happier using StudioCloud.
Another plus to StudioCloud is that they listen to your suggestions. The team of experts that built the software are always looking for suggestions on how to improve what they have. It sure is nice to know that they are interested in what new things they can add that will help me run my business more efficiently.
I am grateful for the day I discovered StudioCloud.
