As a photographer, it can be challenging to find all the right vendors. There are so many options available to us. Some are worth the money while other's are things we pay for then rarely use or they don't fully meet our needs. As a veteran in the photography industry, I have sifted through so many of these vendors and have partnered with some to be able to provide you with discounts. 

SPROUT STUDIO

The first vendor is Sprout Studio. Sprout is a studio management software. It allows you to email clients (and see if they have read your emails and even how many times!), send invoices, accept payments, send proofing galleries, sales galleries (similar to Pro-Select), built in contracts and even email templates when you don't have all the right words. It has simplified my life in so  many ways. I truly believe in this software and when you use code "kalarath" you will be able to receive 10% off your first three months.

 have been looking for something like this for years...prayers answered. Sprout Studio, guys. In fact, I love it so much and want you to have it, here is a 10% off your first three months with Sprout. You will never regret it and you will never go back to life before Sprout. I promise. SIGN UP HERE

ZENFOLIO 

I have had multiple websites and blogs at different points. It took me forever to find the right one. This website you are looking at right now is Zenfolio. It has sales galleries that allow me to profit directly from the gallery and the prints are ordered through Mpix (a professional - consumer grade printing lab). You can set your prices to make as little or as much profit as you like. There are pre-made templates and the ability to start from scratch. Zenfolio has been my primary website service for over four years now and I intend to never change. Use code "2T5-DTA-AMQ"  and get 10% off your Zenfolio website service.
