Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Iris Works is a photography business CRM for photographers and photography studio owners. It brings online booking, session-specific booking pages, electronic contracts, invoices, quotes, deposits, online payments, client profiles, questionnaires, lead capture, email marketing, calendar management, and workflow automation into one system. It supports photography niches including weddings, portraits, family, senior, newborn, maternity, boudoir, commercial, and event photography, with access through web, iOS, and Android.
Pricing starts with Starter at $14.95 per month or $149 per year, covering online booking, a booking website, online payment processing, e-contracts, and invoice templates on booking. Basic costs $29.95 monthly or $299 annually and adds workflows and automation, a custom integrated lead page, invoices and quotes, and locations. Pro costs $39.95 monthly or $399 annually, with the choice of Online Booking or Email Marketing alongside the Basic features. Pro Plus costs $49.95 monthly or $499 annually and includes both Online Booking and Email Marketing. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
Its strongest fit is for studios that want marketing and scheduling flexibility alongside core business administration. Integrations include Square, Stripe, PayPal, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Office 365. Trigger-based workflows can connect booking and client processes, while mobile access covers clients, leads, calendars, invoices, contracts, and questionnaires. Studios seeking one system for lead capture, booking, payments, and follow-up should consider Iris Works. Those that require a client portal or prefer a narrower scheduling tool should compare alternatives before choosing.
