Photography business software for solo photographers The extra set of hands you do not have.

You are the photographer, the booker, the bookkeeper, and the delivery team. Vignette handles the admin between shoots—bookings, contracts, payment plans, timelines, and galleries in one app, with every feature from $35/month.

Vignette is photography business software for solo photographers who are doing the creative work and running the company behind it.

01 · THE REAL PROBLEM

You are the photographer. And the entire back office.

You answer the inquiry, find the date, send the contract, chase the retainer, plan the light, photograph the session, upload the gallery, track the money, and remember what comes next. The problem is not that you need to “work smarter.” The problem is that your tools keep handing the coordination back to you.

02 · SEE IT WORKING

Your back office, handled.

Vignette can’t photograph the wedding for you. It can make sure nothing between the inquiry and the gallery depends on your memory.

01 · IN THE APP

Clients book themselves while you shoot

Publish your packages and open times on a branded storefront. A client at 11 PM can pick a session, request a callback, or grab a mini-session slot—no back-and-forth required.

  • Packages with prices, retainers, and deliverables
  • Live availability and mini-session slots
  • A callback form for “not sure which one fits”

02 · IN THE APP

Get paid without chasing

Every booking gets a payment plan—a retainer, installments, or pay in full. Vignette tracks what is paid, what is next, and sends the reminder so you don’t have to.

  • Retainers and installments with due dates
  • Payment reminders and client receipts
  • Record cash, check, and Venmo payments too

  • Golden-hour planning on your calendar
  • Questionnaire answers attached to the booking

Deliver a gallery that feels premium

Upload to the same booking that holds the contract and payments, then share a branded gallery your client actually wants to open—with favorites, download limits, and watermarks when you need them.

  • Sneak peeks before the full gallery
  • Client favorites and download limits
  • Watermarks and private sharing

04 · WHAT IS INCLUDED

The solo-studio stack, in one Vignette account

Vignette is photography business software for solo photographers who are doing the creative work and running the company behind it. It connects the repetitive operational pieces so one person can deliver a polished client experience without becoming a full-time software integrator.

05 · THE HONEST FIT

Choose the fit. Not the pitch.

VIGNETTE MAKES SENSE FOR

  • Solo photographers replacing a patchwork of CRM and gallery tools
  • Photographers offering full sessions, mini sessions, or both
  • Owner-operators who want every feature without plan-based feature gates

LOOK CLOSELY IF YOU NEED

  • Creators who only need a portfolio website and do not run client bookings
  • Businesses that need sophisticated marketing automation more than photography operations

What Vignette does not pretend

  • Vignette is an operating platform for a photography business, not a portfolio website builder.
  • Native SMS notifications and broader workflow automation are not currently listed as live features.
  • Every feature is included on standard plans, but photo storage capacity varies by plan.

06 · STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions worth asking.

Is Vignette suitable for a new photography business?

Yes. A solo photographer can begin with the same live feature set available to larger studios. Standard plans differ by storage, so the system does not need to be replaced as the workflow grows.

Can Vignette replace both a CRM and gallery service?

For photographers whose needs match Vignette’s live capabilities, yes: client management, bookings, contracts, payments, and branded photo galleries are part of the same platform.

Does Vignette require a credit card for the trial?

No. The standard Vignette trial is 30 days and does not require a credit card to start.

Do lower-priced plans remove features?

No. Every live feature is included on every standard plan. The standard plans differ by cloud-storage capacity.

How much does Vignette cost?

While the limited Unlimited offer lasts, Vignette is $35 per month with unlimited cloud storage after a 30-day free trial. The standard plans are Capture at $35 per month with 250 GB cloud storage and Focus at $50 per month with 1 TB cloud storage. Every plan includes every feature.

Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?

No. The 30-day free trial includes every feature and does not require a credit card to start.

Can I bring my existing clients with me?

Yes. Import contacts from a CSV or JSON file. Vignette previews the import and flags likely duplicates before anything is created.
