TL;DR
ShootProof has been around since 2010 and it shows — in a good way. The gallery platform is mature, the print sales workflow is battle-tested, and the recently added contracts and invoicing make it a more complete studio management tool. It's not as pretty as Pixieset, but the business features are stronger. If print sales are a serious part of your revenue, ShootProof's sales tools give you more control.
What is ShootProof?
The Veteran Gallery Platform
ShootProof launched in 2010 in Atlanta, making it one of the oldest dedicated photography gallery platforms. Over 100,000 photographers have used it. While newer competitors like Pixieset and Pic-Time get the buzz, ShootProof has quietly built a comprehensive platform that handles galleries, contracts, invoicing, and print sales in one place. It's the sensible sedan to Pixieset's sports car.
Gallery and Proofing That Just Works
The galleries are clean and professional. Not as design-forward as Pixieset, but reliable and fast. Client proofing lets clients mark favorites, leave comments on specific images, and build selection lists for album design. Watermarking is automatic. Password protection and expiration dates keep galleries secure. Download controls let you decide exactly what clients can access — high-res, web-res, or nothing until they pay.
Print Sales Done Right
ShootProof connects to WHCC, Miller's, Loxley Colour, and Bay Photo for print fulfillment. The price sheet system is more sophisticated than Pixieset — you can create different price lists for different client types, set minimum orders, offer package deals, and run promotions with coupon codes. Self-fulfillment options let you handle custom products outside the lab system. For photographers who generate serious print revenue, these tools matter.
Contracts and Invoicing Built In
ShootProof added contract signing and invoicing in recent years, pushing it closer to all-in-one territory. The contract builder has photography-specific templates. Invoicing handles deposits, payment plans, and automatic reminders. It's not as polished as HoneyBook's proposal system, but it covers the basics without needing a separate tool. For photographers who want galleries + business management without two subscriptions, this is appealing.
The Honest Gaps
The interface feels dated in places. Navigation isn't as intuitive as Pixieset. The mobile app is functional but not delightful. Workflow automations are basic compared to Dubsado. The CRM features are growing but still young. ShootProof is best at galleries and print sales — the business management tools are catching up but haven't arrived yet.
