Hi!
We know you're really busy, so we went ahead and posted a position for a studio manager and apparently who you need doesn't exist.
But what if something could do all of this...
Keep all of my inquiries organized and up to date
Chase invoices, confirm bookings, send contracts, check-in before and after sessions
Send review request and schedule order consultations
Read my mind because I don't have time to explain how I think and why I do things the way I do.

The Problem
Photography income doesn't always allow for an actual assistant but the workload requires it.
We built a solution that is helping a lot of photographers and we hope it helps you too.
Honestly?
You probably don’t
have time for this.
But you need it.
Because you probably don't have time for the people and the things in your life either. That's exactly why we made this. To give you back your time and sanity.
If the following words make you cringe...
we get it.
but again, they are kind of important to running your business and yes, you may already have a few (or all) of these tools but if you are reading this, they probably feel less like a solution and more like a necessary evil.
Yes, Simplified Studio is all of these things...
and more.
Introducing:
CRM for Photographers
It can handle every single aspect of your business. The only feature we haven't finalized is the gallery function.
For the full list of features keep scrolling.
If you trust us and are ready to dive in, let us show you the ropes.
When you join, we collect your info up front and build your account for you.
Then we get on a 1-hour tech call to connect your tools, sync your calendar, and knock out the setup—together.
After that? You get a 1:1 session to walk through exactly what you need (and none of what you don’t).
Past that, there is a team of very kind humans to help you 24/7 in under a minute via chat, zoom, whatever you need.
Our small but mighty local team will also be available to assist during work hours.
Because the goal here isn’t more features. It's making sure you can actually use them.
We built Simplified Studio for people who want real support. Who know their time is valuable. Who treat their business like a business and would rather pay for something to be done right than spend another night Googling how to fix it.
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
What You Really Need is Support.
There is no such thing as done-for-you. If you're at a bottleneck in your business may not have time to learn something new, set it up, and actually let it help you.
However, if you don't press pause and fix your systems either you are going to break down or they are.
I encourage you to give it shot and see if this is finally the answer you've been looking for.

Spoiler alert: every CRM has access to the same features.
We even splurged on the app so you can work wherever you are.
Feature Spotlights
We didn’t add every feature.
We utilized the ones that give you back your time.
The ones that creative business owners are notorious for avoiding:
the emails you forget to send,
the follow-ups that fall through,
the scattered tools you never had time to connect.
Not because you’re lazy, because none of it brings you joy.
So we built a system that just… does it for you.
Mobile App
Run your business from the carline, couch, or coffeeshop.
Calendar, clients, reminders—it’s all in your pocket, not stuck on your desktop.
Client Pipelines
Know exactly where every client stands without digging through dm's or notepads.
Custom pipelines show you what’s next, what’s overdue, and what’s done.
Pre-Written Emails
Never write “just checking in” again.
Send beautifully branded emails with proven scripts for every step in the client journey
Pre-built Automations
Let the system follow up, remind, and check in while you focus on your session
Built-in workflows keep clients moving without constant handholding.
Calendar
2-way Sync your personal calendar, family calendar, and session calendar.
No more double-booking a session during a date-night.
Connections
Facebook. Instagram. Google. Stripe. All the tools you already use talking to each other, finally.
24/7 Support
Questions at 10PM? No problem.
You’ll always start with AI, but say the word and a real human joins in minutes. No tickets, no waiting days for help.
Office Hours

From your fellow photographers:
Here’s what changed when they switched to Simplified Studio.
“I almost cried after my
setup call.”
"It was the first time I felt like someone actually understood how scattered I was and helped. I would have never gotten all of those things connected on my own, I didn't even know how. For the first time in my business everything’s in one place, and I can finally breathe."
Thank you Anna Claire!
"The tech call alone was worth it.
"I had no idea"
"You told me everything it could do but until I got in and saw it for myself I had no idea. This is truly amazing and it jsut keeps getting better."

“I almost cried after my
setup call.”
It was the first time I felt like someone actually understood how scattered I was and helped. I would have never gotten all of those things connected on my own, I didn't even know how. For the first time in my business everything’s in one place, and I can finally breathe.
Thank you Anna Claire and Allison!

"Highly recommend this"
"I used to use five different apps to handle what Simplified Studio does. Switching saved me about $200/month in fees right away.
Amanda, Wedding photographer
Hi, I'm Anna Claire, Founder of Simplified Studio
After 10+ years in photography, I moved into the education space which led to even more subscriptions and platforms. I needed something simple, efficient, and not ugly.
I just wanted to open one thing, know where all of my clients (and potential clients) were in the process, and just feel like I actually had my ducks in a row.
I wanted a system that could keep up with how I actually work - chasing kids, replying to DMs, and managing bookings from the grocery store parking lot.
So naturally, I built exactly what I needed (because I'm crazy). Everything lives in one place. Every message. Every task. Every client.
I'm pretty excited and I hope you are too!
