Business resources
for creatives
Just so you know, some of the links below are affiliate links meaning I make a small commission when you buy stuff using these links. You don't get charged any more so it won't make a difference to you, all it does is put a tiny bit extra money in my pocket so I can buy more toys for my already very spoiled pup :)
Here's all my favourite tools & resources (only stuff I've actually tried and like!)
Studio Ninja
I use Studio Ninja as my CRM and it’s honestly changed the way I run my business. I always joke that my business 'kinda runs itself' and it's 100% thanks to Studio Ninja and the workflows and automations I have set up that do most of the work for me.
It does pretty much everything including contracts, invoices, client portal, online booking calendar, analytics etc. I love that everything is in one place for me and my clients, and I’ve had loads of clients tell me they were super impressed with how easy it was to book!
You can try Studio Ninja for free and get 50% off your first year if you use the code LUCYMCREATIVE
Softwares & apps

Pixieset
I recently switched to Pixieset for my wedding photo galleries and I'm loving it.
It's super easy to use, the galleries look stunning and it's a lot more affordable than PicTime
