ShootProof alternative: a French-speaking studio, from gallery to client
Lisa
On Pelli, you bring your galleries and studio management together in a French-speaking environment. This alternative to ShootProof lets you present services on your website, manage client records and organize selections, sales and deliveries.
📷 For studios delivering week after week
A portrait studio does not simply deliver a beautiful gallery occasionally. It supports several clients, follows photo selections and answers download or order questions.
In this setting, small details repeat. An ambiguous instruction, a hard-to-find link or a poorly presented product can lead to many conversations over a season.
On Pelli, your galleries, clients and documents share one environment. You can move from managing an assignment to delivering it while keeping the information needed for the client relationship.
Pelli and ShootProof: practical tools for your studio
In Pelli, your multi-page website, quotes and Lea extend your gallery, sales and signing tools. You present each service on its own page, prepare documents in Pelli and guide clients through to delivery.
| Criterion | Pelli | ShootProof |
|---|---|---|
| Photography website | Website customised with Léa’s help; pages depend on your plan. | Portfolio with home, about and contact pages. |
| Business documents | Invoices and electronic signatures for contracts | Invoices and electronic signatures for contracts |
| Finding and selecting images | Content and face search, favourites and comments. | Favourites and labels to organise selections. |
| Client campaigns | Email and SMS; SMS requires paid credits. | Email campaigns and gallery reminders. |
| Sales commission | 0 % | 0 % |
In Pelli, create a page for each service and prepare quotes with Lea on Pro and Ultra. Once accepted, initiate conversion of the quote into an invoice. In the gallery, clients find images by content or face: your website, management and delivery stay together.

French language and your identity at every step
For French-speaking clients, the wording of instructions matters. “Choose your images,” “discover your coverage” and “download the delivered files” refer to different actions.
A French-speaking environment such as Pelli lets you build this journey with consistent signposts. Your logo, colors and gallery presentation should extend the identity clients discovered before the session.
Pelli's multipage website can present your services and provide a clear way to contact you. The gallery then becomes the continuation of the service rather than a space whose logic you need to explain separately. Present your services on your website.
Our article on details that improve the client experience explores this care. Thoughtful support does not necessarily depend on a long message or a spectacular visual effect.
✨ An example: a week of portraits and family sessions
Imagine several completed sessions, each at a different stage. One family is choosing photos, another is waiting for retouching and a business client needs their final delivery.
In Pelli, folders, favorites and comments organize images and feedback. Protection and downloads are configured according to the gallery's purpose.
Client records and business documents give this work context. You can find the service information without treating every gallery as an isolated file.
The benefit for clients is simple: they receive the right instruction and know what remains to be done. You maintain control of the relationship instead of asking clients to adapt to your internal organization.
Sales should remain faithful to your offer
On Pelli, you can connect partner labs and select products to offer in your store. You configure your margins and track orders while the lab produces and ships the items assigned to it.
Pelli's store lets you offer files, products and packages according to your configuration. Payment, production and shipping fees should still be considered separately from the subscription price.
For studios mainly selling files, clear selection and delivery may matter more than a very extensive catalog. For those regularly selling printed products, production options remain decisive.
Prepare documents and follow up with each client
With Léa on the Pro and Ultra plans, you prepare a quote, invoice or contract from your instructions. Review the document before sending it: the service, amount and terms remain under your control.
The client record brings together galleries, documents, orders and tasks. You can add a private note to keep a preference or context for an upcoming session.
For a studio photographing the same family several times a year, this record helps you find useful exchanges and prepare the next service with the right information.
Bring your contacts into Pelli
On Pelli, you can import your contacts from a CSV or Excel .xlsx file with up to 5,000 rows. A CSV template helps you prepare the columns, and no emails are sent to contacts during import. Keep your existing documents separately: this import covers contacts.
