This is a beta. The core is here, but some features are still under construction until 2027. If you're a photographer and want to try it out now, reach out at hello@proofing-studio.com.
Client proofing your portrait clients actually finish.
Send one clean gallery. They select the shots they love and mark the ones for prints — and the picks come back to you organized, not lost in a thread of frame numbers.
No credit card · Your clients never sign up · Set up your first gallery in minutes
Built by a working portrait photographer — not a software company. Every feature exists because a real shoot needed it.
The selection round shouldn't drag on for weeks.
The shoot was the easy part. Here's what usually goes wrong between the session and the print order — and what happens instead.
One gallery, one tap.
Clients browse a clean, branded gallery and select favorites directly — no screenshots, no frame numbers, no guesswork on your end.
Green marks the prints.
A yellow circle says “we like it.” A green one says “print this one.” You get both tiers back, so the order is settled before you open the lab.
Selections land back with you.
When the client is done, their selects and finals are waiting in your studio view — organized, countable, ready to retouch.
A gallery that looks like your studio, not a stock template.
Your studio name and the session title sit right at the top, the client's portraits fill the screen, and a password you set keeps it private. Send the link and they're in — nothing to download, works on any phone.
Two taps that tell you everything.
Tap the yellow circle on a portrait to select it. Once it's selected, a green circle appears for the ones headed to print. It's the difference between “we like these fifteen” and “these five are the package” — captured without a single email.
From “ready” to “in their inbox” in one click.
Hit send and your client gets the gallery link, the password, and a short note in your words — with your contact line at the bottom. Edit the default message once and reuse it for every session.
A full session, loaded for proofing in minutes.
Photos are optimized for screen as they upload, so a long portrait session opens instantly for your client — and you skip the export-a-web-sized-copy step entirely. Originals stay untouched on your drive.

Questions photographers ask
Do my clients need an account? +
No. You send a link and a password — they open the gallery in any browser and start picking. Nothing to install, no sign-up, no friction between them and the photos.
How do clients choose their favorites? +
They tap the yellow circle on the shots they love, and the green circle on the ones headed to print. You get both tiers back, so the print order is settled before you open the lab.
Does it handle a full portrait session? +
Yes. Photos are optimized on upload, so even a large session loads fast for your client — without you exporting web-sized copies first. Your originals are never altered.
Can I brand and password-protect the gallery? +
Every gallery carries your studio name and the session title, and is locked behind a password you set before sending.
