You also rocked it, creating millions of beautiful memories for clients, consolidating your workflow and delivering an unforgettable experience. Let’s take a minute to reminisce on the wonderful accomplishments the Pixieset community reached in 2022:

Millions of memories delivered

This year, you collectively delivered millions of galleries to clients, that’s millions of beautiful memories and work, shared all around the world.

Empowering filmmakers

Videos tell stories in a powerful way. They’re an invitation to relive all the memories, emotions and experiences from a given moment. This year, we’ve witnessed over 10,000 hours of video footage being shared with clients inside their photo collections, providing them with an easy and beautiful way to preview and download their films.

Going beyond digital

Nothing beats the experience and effect a printed photo can have over a person. Printed memories are precious, transcending the notion of time. This year, framed prints, metal prints and greeting cards, remain the most popular products inside Pixieset Store. If you’re not offering printed options to your customers yet, we highly encourage you to get started in 2023.

More business opportunities

Though it hasn’t been long since the release of Booking & Scheduling, we’ve already seen thousands of photography sessions booked through Studio Manager. That’s hundreds of hours saved on back-and-forth emails, and countless new business opportunities for our amazing users. Isn’t that incredible?

An easy daily process

Being able to offer clients a simple, digital way to sign a contract, pay for an invoice or share preferences about their sessions — is not only convenient, but also profitable. Thousands of contracts, invoices, quotes and questionnaires were shared with clients, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience.

Elegant online presence

Every professional photographer requires an elegant, original website to present their business, their services and work online. Luckily, with Pixieset Website, this is easy to do. You just pick a ready-made theme, add your images and text, choose your preferred fonts and colors and you’re good to go live. This year alone, over 40,000 photographers published beautiful websites using Pixieset, and laid the foundation for their online presence. Here are some beautiful examples built with Pixieset Website.
