Get a look at ShootProof’s top 2019 moments, from fun new features to incredible updates. Did you miss any of these enhancements the first time around?
It’s a brand-new year! But before we forge ahead, our sentimental hearts are crying out to gaze back upon 2019 and reminisce.
There was the time we ran out of coffee and the entire ShootProof team nearly died of decaffeination. And let’s not forget the demise of the ShootProof espresso machine. It was revived, but holy smokes, what a brutal 37 minutes.
But, believe it or not, coffee isn’t our sole focus. Our top priority is actually a fun little thing we call “galleries.” Caffeine woes notwithstanding, ShootProof galleries got a lot of love in 2019!
Here are 2019’s top ShootProof hits and enhancements:
ShootProof Package Builder: Sell More Photos – Simply
If you’ve never met a superhero in real life, that’s only because you’ve never met a ShootProof Developer. Our Dev team is truly incredible, and their work on Package Builder is proof.

ShootProof Package Builder empowers our photographers to bundle prints, digital downloads, and products into “yes-please-I-need-this” packages. Your clients can shop these custom collections from the comfort of their couches, easily benefitting from bundled deals and discounts.

Táve Joined the ShootProof Family (And they fit right in!)
When ShootProof’s founders bootstrapped an online gallery startup for photographers, growing to include other brilliant photographer-centric companies was a far-away dream. But here we are! We were honored to acquire our beloved Táve in 2019, officially adding the most powerful, customizable studio management platform to the ShootProof brand family.

Email Campaigns: Get More Gallery Visitors & Sell More Photos
One night, while most of our photographers were sound asleep in front of their open Lightroom screens, we quietly launched Email Campaigns. An updated version of our former “email automations,” Email Campaigns give photographers an easy way to get more eyeballs on their galleries – and more sales in the bank!

Select and customize pre-written campaign emails, or start from scratch with your own. No matter how you proceed, Email Campaigns make it simple to promote deals and inspire purchasing.

We adopted Cole’s Classroom and Design Aglow (and now we need a bigger house!)
2019 saw our family grow even bigger with Cole’s Classroom and Design Aglow! These two brands serve up inspiring resources for photographers at every stage of their journey. From Cole’s Classroom’s vibrant community to Design Aglow’s gorgeous products, photographers will find resources to elevate their businesses. ShootProof is proud to call these brilliant folks family!
