Win a free year of Studio Lifesaver
One photographer gets twelve months free as a Founding Member — and keeps the founding rate for as long as they stay. Every feature, no tier games, no credit card to enter.
The entry form asks you one real question: what do you wish your CRM did better? That is not a marketing exercise. Your answers become our roadmap.

Then founding rate for life
We'd rather ask than guess
Most photography software gets built the same way: a roadmap meeting, a whiteboard, and a room full of people who have never had to reschedule a newborn session twice in one week or chase a final payment the night before a wedding.
Then the feature ships, nobody uses it, and the thing you actually needed is still three releases away.
We don't want to build that. So instead of guessing at what photographers want, we're asking — and paying for the answers with the best thing we have: a free year of the platform, as a Founding Member, for one of you.
Every answer goes straight into our roadmap. Even if you don't win, the thing you ask for might be the next thing we build.
One ask: You can enter anything you'd like into the contest entries, including which CRM you currently use, but when you make any public posts, please don't call out or bash any other CRM. This isn't about knocking anyone else's software — plenty of good people built those tools, and plenty of good photographers use them. We just want to know what will take your business to the next level.

Every entry starts at one. Here's how the rest work:
Enter and confirm
Fill in the form, then click the link we email you. That link is your personal entry page — keep it.
Do a task, paste the link
Share, tag, post. Come back to your entry page, tick the task and paste a link to what you posted.
We check, entries land
A real person looks at it. Once it's approved, your entry page shows exactly how many entries you have and where each one came from.
A real person reviews each one, so bonus entries aren't instant. Anything we can't verify doesn't count — but your original entry always stands.
What the winner actually gets
A full year of Studio Lifesaver at no cost — the whole platform, not a starter tier — and then the Founding Member rate, locked in for as long as you keep your account. Everything below is included.
Clients & leads
Contact database, lead capture, and a client portal for contracts, invoices, and scheduling.
Sessions
Online booking, delivery deadline tracking, and multi-session packages that actually track what is left.
Proposals & contracts

Invoicing & payments
Stripe payments, payment plans, and sales tax calculated for you by TaxJar.

Automated task and email sequences so nothing falls through after the shoot.

Beautiful galleries with downloads, favorites, and print ordering.

Don't want to wait two weeks to find out?
Start your free trial today and use the whole thing while the giveaway runs. We'll even migrate your clients, templates, and workflows over for free.
Signing up does not take you out of the drawing. If you've already paid and you win, we credit what you've paid and your free year starts from there. Nobody is worse off for becoming a customer first — that would be a strange way to run a giveaway.
Official rules
Bonus entries. Each sharing task can be claimed once and is worth the entries shown on this page, up to 11 bonus entries per person. Claims are reviewed by hand; anything we can't verify is not awarded. Your original entry is never at risk for a rejected bonus claim.
How the drawing works. Every confirmed entry is assigned a numbered range of tickets — one ticket per entry earned. After entries close we finish reviewing outstanding bonus claims, then draw a single number at random from that range, and whoever holds that ticket wins. The full ticket list is recorded at the moment of the drawing.
Existing customers. Current Studio Lifesaver customers may enter and may win. If a paying customer wins, we credit amounts already paid for the coming year and the prize applies to their existing account.
Your information. We use your email to confirm your entry and to contact you if you win. The marketing opt-in is separate, optional, and unsubscribable at any time — see our privacy policy. We don't sell your information.
