I remember the day I was so frustrated because of all the calendars, contracts and to do lists I had ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I stopped and prayed for some sort of help. I am such an organized person. There had to be a solution!
Literally, the next day I was contacted by Iris – HOW GOOD IS GOD!?!
You’re probably like what the heck is Iris….learn about the ONLY studio-management system you’ll ever need and six ways it has completely changed my business!
P.S. There may or may not be a discount code at the end. 😉
#1: WORKFLOWS
Imagine you hear a ping on your phone, notifying you of a new inquiry. You don’t even give it a second thought because you know you’ve created a seamless workflow and a personalized email has already been sent to your soon to be client.
This is possible. I know because I was disorganized, stressed to the max and about ready to throw in the towel. Now I am living with less stress (thanks to Iris) and MORE time to edit, create content or simply enjoy lunch with my mama!
#2: THE FREAKIN’ CALENDAR SYNCS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plain and simple: No more double booking AND no more writing things down seven times in seven different planners and calendars. I cannot get over this hahahah! The fact that Iris syncs with the calendar on my phone… and visa versa… is worth the money alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s zero lag time. As soon as I enter something in my phone it pops up on Iris and as soon as my client books a session, it’s on my phone. AND I can color coordinate my session types/appointments. Which makes my inner Monica SO satisfied. LOL.

#3: BOOK YOUR CLIENTS ONLINE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Picture it: you’re wasting time scrolling through DMs, texts, emails and Facebook messages thinking, “I know I had something booked for this day, but I cannot remember who, where or when… CRAP! What was her IG handle?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CAN YOU RELATE!?!? The good thing is: this is a normal growing pain AND it can be changed. With Iris, there’s no more booking through DM and no more digging through your phone’s history to find what you’re looking for. In other words… more time for you to get work done.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust me, babe. It’s possible! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine planning a day for mini sessions… you set up your workflow, create a calendar event with your time slots and post a scheduling link in your bio/on your website. It’s that easy. Your clients will be booked, signed and paid in no time. Yep. It’s THAT easy. And stress free.⠀⠀⠀⠀
#4: ONLINE CONTRACT SIGNATURES
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Signing contracts with Iris is super simple — but SO convenient to have a contract that your clients can read and sign online! You just load as many contract templates as you have (weddings, boudoirs, whatever) into Iris and the right contract will automatically generate and send to your client. Your signature is stored and whether you require one or two people to sign on their end, it’s soooooo easy. I love a good “check” on my to do list when something is done, don’t you!?!!?
#5: EASY INVOICING
Invoicing is one thing that I used to dread but thankfully the Iris system is SO user friendly. Create an invoice template, email it and BOOM… done. They’ll even mark it handled with a PAID stamp — so satisfying. You don’t have to think at all. And whether you’re connected via Stripe, PayPal or Square (or all three!)… sit back and just watch those invoices come through.
#6: QUICKBOOKS
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than this…..they go and link you up with Quickbooks, too. BOOM. DONE. SIGN. ME. UP.
