Photographers are more likely to thrive with the support of a robust professional community. The Instaproofs family is diverse and accomplished, and we would be remiss to not make introductions when at all possible.

Plus, with a platform as expansive as Instaproofs, hearing from other users may be just the inspiration you need to step out of your comfort zone, try a new tool, and unlock income you have been leaving on the table!

Here are five fabulous photographers, each thrilled to share why they have chosen to trust their business to Instaproofs. We bet you’ll be excited to try something new by the time you’re through! These photographers each represent the community in a different way, and we are thankful for each of them, and each of YOU.

Business name: Chelsea Proulx Photography

Business type: Lifestyle portrait sessions and weddings, as well as architectural interiors and exteriors.

Started with Instaproofs: 2019

Favorite Instaproofs feature: Booking sessions helps a ton with mini session slots, as well as the overall automation.

Can't help but mention: I switched from another gallery host at the end of 2019 and immediately started feeling so much better about my gallery delivery. The overall look and automation of emails and sales within Instaproofs has drastically decreased the amount of energy and time I spend on sales. It is so much more user friendly than my previous host, allowing my clients to go through their images with ease and order products and downloads with very little contact on my end! Although I know I can do even more within Instaproofs, my sales are better than they were before and I imagine they'll only get better as I incorporate more features within the program.

How they brag on Instaproofs: Many times I've worked with the support team and the guidance I receive with my issues or questions is second to none. The answers are received very quickly and are laid out in a way that helps me accomplish whatever I'm looking to do.

Anything else to mention: Sometimes it feels difficult to stand out from the competition. I believe Instaproofs allows for beautiful pictures to be placed in equally beautiful galleries, making the entire process smooth for me as the photographer, as well my clients. The easier I can make it for my clients to purchase, the more likely they are to work with me in the future.

Business name: Deb Mann Images, DoubleshotDarlin, Shutttterbug

Business type: Large equine western performance events, cowboy action shooting competitions, all family events, pets, you name it.

Started with Instaproofs: 2009

Favorite Instaproofs feature: Fabulous website and EXEMPLARY customer care.

Can't help but mention: Instaproofs took me from thinking people might like my work to a very solid support income to my retirement. I would not be able to function without it. This site is beautiful and easy for anyone to use.

How they brag on Instaproofs: Support team has saved my life more times than I can list! From simple explanations that don’t make me feel small, to uploading back files when I am in Timbuktu and can’t get them, to helping me with my oversize galleries in emergencies so that I don’t go over, and the plain and simple kind attitude every single time I have ever called. I can go on! I think Instaproofs support team walks on water!

Anything else to mention: There are of course a couple of services out there to show off your work. But I have never known one that worked harder to earn the trust and respect that I feel Instaproofs’ whole team deserves. No one does it better. I have been proud to be part of your family for many years. I would never consider going anywhere else!

Business name: Philip Casey Photography

Business type: Weddings, portraits, and non-profits.

Started with Instaproofs: 2013

Favorite Instaproofs feature: Instaproof's best feature is that it makes me money!

Can't help but mention: Since signing up, Instaproofs has generated $160,059.03 in print and album sales for my business.

How they brag on Instaproofs: The challenge is getting wedding guests to spend money on pictures. Instaproofs has a unique model of offering automatic sales and discounts that prompt the viewer to take action. On the last day of a sale, orders just fyi in.

Anything else to mention: No online gallery system produces better profits than Instaproofs. Signing up 9 years ago was the best decision I made for my business.

Business name: Cassie Green Photography

Business type: I mostly shoot family portraits, but also shoot small weddings.

Started with Instaproofs: 2018

Favorite Instaproofs feature: Invoicing and contracts.

Can't help but mention: Instaproofs helps me keep track of how much money I make in a year. It's super helpful for keepings things organized and in one place when tax season comes around. It simplifies my work life a lot.

How they brag on Instaproofs: Organizing for taxes is one of my biggest challenges. Before Instaproofs, looking professional was harder. Their set up with invoicing and contracts have made my life SO much easier.

Anything else to mention: If you want an all-in-one place to host your photos, invoice, send contracts, etc, this is your spot! And Instaproofs is constantly staying in touch with its users’ needs, so always updating and adding features that are super helpful for us. I'm really grateful to them for taking away some of the business stress that can come with running a photography business completely by yourself.

Business name: Emily D Photography

Business type: Portraits - school, family, and headshots.

Started with Instaproofs: 2018

Favorite Instaproofs feature: Invoicing/reminders, and downloading options.

Can’t help but mention: The support team is exceptional, the best I’ve ever worked with, and [exceptional] with everyone in my team. They are always kind and timely in their responses…I’ve had Adam and others make suggestions for me proactively.

How she brags on Instaproofs: The back end makes tax time so easy!

Anything else to mention: Instaproofs never loses sight of their main mission to support photographers in thriving within this industry. In the time I’ve been with them, they have evolved and changed but there hasn’t been any growing pains that I’ve observed.
