A Different Kind of Photography CRM
Built by a photographer who was tired of overly complex, bloated, and expensive CRMs that just didn't understand the photography business.
Hey, I'm Adam 👋
Photographer since 2018, frustrated CRM user since day one.
I've been a photographer most of my life, and since 2018, I've been shooting weddings and portraits professionally. Like many photographers, I found myself frustrated with the existing CRM options.
They were expensive ($40-80/month!), bloated with features I never used, and honestly, just not fun to work with. I was spending more time fighting with my CRM than actually using it to help my business grow.
That's when I decided to build FotoMate. I wanted something that just makes sense - intuitive, affordable, and focused on the features photographers actually need. No fluff, no complexity, just a tool that works the way it should.
The Journey to FotoMate
How a frustrated photographer became a software creator
Started Photography Business
Began shooting weddings and portraits professionally. Quickly realized managing clients was harder than taking photos.
Tried Every CRM
Tested HoneyBook, Dubsado, and others. They were either too expensive, too complex, or missing key features.
FotoMate Launches
FotoMate is ready for photographers everywhere, offering the tools they actually need without the complexity.

Examples in FotoMate:
Building Photographers Up
FotoMate isn't just about managing your business - it's about celebrating your success and building a community where photographers genuinely support each other.
The more you succeed, the more FotoMate succeeds
This isn't just a tagline - it's our core philosophy. We believe that when photographers thrive, everyone wins. That's why we're building features that don't just manage your business, but actively celebrate your growth and connect you with a supportive community.
Achievement System
Celebrate every milestone from your first client to major revenue goals, with privacy controls for sensitive achievements.
Integrated Community
Real-time chat with fellow photographers for peer support, business tips, and genuine networking - all within FotoMate.
Mentorship Opportunities
Connect experienced photographers with newcomers, creating a supportive ecosystem where knowledge flows freely.
Why This Matters
"Photography can be isolating. You're often working alone, dealing with business challenges that your friends and family don't understand. I want FotoMate to be the place where you feel supported, celebrated, and connected to others who truly get it."
