Coming Soon: Personal Archive Updates!

We've got big things brewing for the Personal Archive! Our next major release (due mid- March) will include, among other features; a slideshow function, the option for clients to self-crop images when purchasing prints, and the number one most requested PhotoShelter improvement: larger images! Based on your helpful feedback, we've opted to allow for larger thumbnails (up to 200px) and enlarged previews (up to 1000px) in seamless customization. Stay tuned!

We'll be at WPPI - will you?

The annual Wedding & Portrait Photographer International Convention & Tradeshow is going to Las Vegas and we'll be there. Stop in and say hello to Andrew (Marketing), Grover (Business Development) and Rachel (Client Services). They're looking forward to hearing from you and sharing our plans for wedding photographers. See you there!
