Your whole studio, behind one login.
Clients, galleries, proofing, bookings and money — in one place, in your language. Lensentra takes the admin that piles up between shoots and turns it into something you can finish in a few minutes instead of a lost evening.
The shooting is the easy part.
Most photographers don't lose their evenings to editing. They lose them to everything wrapped around it — and to the small things that quietly cost money.
Everything the business side needs, and nothing it doesn't.
Built around how a portrait, wedding and event studio actually runs — not a generic CRM with a camera icon bolted on.
Client records that remember for you
Contact details and how they prefer to be reached, birthdays, wardrobe notes, allergies and sensitivities, emergency contacts. Plus who referred whom, so you can see which clients quietly keep your calendar full.
Galleries organised the way you think
Inspiration boards for posing references, general sets, and galleries attached to a specific client. Drag to reorder, pick a cover, move or delete in bulk, and open anything full screen.
Proofing that collects itself
Send a review gallery with a pick limit and a deadline. Your client marks their favourites, you're notified the moment they submit, and your working gallery is never touched.
Extras that bill themselves
Let clients choose past their package at a per-photo rate. Lensentra counts the overage, totals it and raises the invoice — no awkward follow-up message required.
A calendar that survives a wedding season
Session types, multi-day and all-weekend bookings, repeating slots, and blocked-out time you don't want anyone booking into. Confirmation emails are written and ready to send.
Balances you never have to guess at
Log a payment and it applies itself against the oldest unpaid invoice first, partial payments included. One screen shows every client who still owes you and how much.
Expenses and mileage, logged as you go
Gear, software, studio rental, second shooters, travel and lodging — sixteen categories plus a mileage log kept in miles driven, ready for whatever rate you claim.
Client email without a mailing-list bill
Write to everyone or a hand-picked few, with a proper editor and opt-outs honoured automatically. Mini-session announcements go out in minutes.
Your data, exportable on demand
Take a full backup whenever you like, or download every photo you've stored as one organised ZIP, foldered by client and gallery. Nothing is held hostage.
Stop chasing people for their favourites.
The single biggest time sink in most studios, handled end to end.
- Send the set Lensentra copies your gallery into a review version, so whatever the client does, your originals stay exactly as you left them.
- Set the rules once How many photos their package includes, when you need an answer by, and whether extras are allowed and at what price.
- They pick, you get told Your client taps through and marks their choices. The moment they submit, an alert lands in your inbox with the count.
- Overages invoice themselves Picked four past the package? The charge is calculated, the invoice goes out, and the amount joins their outstanding balance.
Come April, the work is already done.
Every payment and every expense you logged during the year rolls straight into a summary you can hand over — income by method, expenses by category, a month-by-month breakdown, a mileage log, and a net profit figure you didn't have to reconstruct.
Per-year tracking
Income, expenses and net profit for any year you've been in business, with a monthly table underneath.
All-time stats
Total shoots, average income per shoot, best clients by revenue, and how the years compare side by side.
A summary you can print
One tap produces a clean PDF income-and-expense summary for the year. Send it to your accountant and move on.
Questions worth asking
Short answers, no asterisks.
Where do my photos actually live?
On your own machine, in your browser's storage — not on someone else's server waiting to be mined or re-licensed. You can pull a full backup or a ZIP of every photo any time you like.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. Once you're signed in, Lensentra keeps running offline — at a venue, in a basement, on a shoot in the middle of nowhere. Your galleries and client records are right there.
Do I have to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser you already use. There's also a desktop build if you'd rather have it in your dock or taskbar.
Will this replace my editing software?
No, and it isn't trying to. Lensentra handles everything that happens before and after the edit — the client, the booking, the proofing, the invoice, the books.
What if I already have years of records elsewhere?
Start with what's live: the clients you're currently booking and the galleries in flight. Old years can stay where they are — the tax summary only reports what you've entered.
