A single home for every client, session, and sale

Allio is a studio operating system that quietly runs the admin side of your portrait business—so you can stay with your clients and your creative work.

Every inquiry, call, message, booking, invoice, and review sits in one calm, consistent client timeline—no spreadsheets, switching tools, or chasing information.

  • Client CRM with complete portrait history
  • Studio phone, text, and email in one shared inbox
  • Online booking, rescheduling, and confirmations
  • Automated reminders, proposals, and payment nudges
  • Review requests and reputation management
  • Dashboards built for session-based revenue

Allio quietly coordinates the details so your studio feels polished, predictable, and easy to run—no matter how many sessions you shoot each week.

Client CRM designed around portrait sessions

Every family, senior, and personal branding client gets a complete studio record—sessions, orders, communications, contracts, and notes in one place.

  • Unified client profiles with contact details, preferences, and important dates
  • Portrait-specific timelines: inquiries, consults, sessions, ordering appointments, deliveries
  • Custom fields for ages, schools, milestones, wardrobe notes, and products of interest
  • Smart tags and segments for VIP families, mini-session lists, and past buyers
  • Instant search to find any client by name, school, or session type

Studio memory that never forgets

Open any client and see their full story—what they ordered last time, how much they spent, which wall they’re filling next. Your team always knows the context before they pick up the phone.

Studio phone, text, and email in one shared inbox

Every call, voicemail, text, and email flows into a single, organized inbox—linked automatically to the right client and session.

  • Dedicated studio phone number with call routing and voicemail
  • Two-way text messaging for quick confirmations and day-of updates
  • Email templates for inquiries, consults, prep guides, and ordering sessions
  • Unified conversation history so your team can hand off seamlessly
  • Desktop and mobile access so you can respond between sessions

Never lose a message again

Missed-call texts, auto-replies during sessions, and routing rules make your studio feel attentive—even when you are in the camera room. See exactly who on your team replied and when.

Use quiet hours and reply windows so your studio is responsive without making you available 24/7.

Booking that respects your studio schedule

Allio replaces your booking software with calendars built specifically for session-based work—consults, shoots, ordering appointments, and reveals.

  • Session types with custom durations, buffers, and pricing
  • Online booking links for full sessions, mini events, and ordering appointments
  • Automatic confirmations, prep emails, and SMS reminders
  • Capacity controls so you never double-book a room or photographer
  • Out-of-office blocks for editing days, travel, and holidays
  • Calendar sync with the tools you already use for your personal schedule

Clients see only the times you want to offer. You keep control of your weeks while removing the back-and-forth that slows bookings down.

From lead to order on one clean pipeline

Track every lead, booking, and sale on a visual pipeline built for portrait studios—not software companies.

  • Custom stages like New Inquiry, Consult Scheduled, Session Booked, Ordered, Delivered, Nurture
  • Forecasted revenue per stage so you can see next month’s sales before you shoot
  • Drag-and-drop cards to move clients as they progress through your experience
  • Simple proposals and invoices with payment links and payment plans
  • Order notes and product details tied to each client and session

Clarity on where every dollar comes from

See exactly how many inquiries you convert to bookings, and how many bookings become ordering appointments. Understand where sessions leak so you can tune one stage at a time.

Automation that feels human, not robotic

Allio replaces your automation tools with simple, visual workflows designed around the way portrait clients actually move through your studio.

  • Nurture sequences for new inquiries that educate and pre-sell your sessions
  • Automated reminders for consults, sessions, and ordering appointments by email and SMS
  • Post-session follow-ups to request reviews, referrals, and future session ideas
  • Win-back campaigns for clients who have not booked in 12–24 months
  • Task creation for your team when specific triggers fire—like new booking, payment received, album ready

You choose the tone and timing. Allio delivers consistently, so every client gets the same thoughtful experience—even on your busiest weeks.

A polished client experience from first touch to final artwork

Allio gives your clients a consistent, branded journey—clear information, timely reminders, and simple next steps at every stage.

Beautiful, branded communication

Use your logo, colors, and brand voice across every message—appointment emails, prep guides, studio policies, payment links, and review requests.

  • Clear session roadmaps sent automatically after booking
  • Mobile-friendly messages that clients actually read
  • Simple reschedule links to reduce no-shows
  • House rules, studio address, and parking details sent at the right moment

Effortless reviews and online reputation

Allio replaces separate review tools with a built-in system that turns happy clients into your most reliable marketing channel.

  • Automatic review invitations after sessions and product delivery
  • Pre-written, customizable copy that sounds like your studio
  • Smart routing to platforms that matter for local search
  • Private feedback paths so you can resolve concerns before they go public
  • Review tracking at the client level so you know who has already shared

Reviews become a natural last step in your experience, not an extra chore your team has to remember.

Numbers that actually help you run the studio

Allio replaces scattered spreadsheets with dashboards built around the way portrait studios think about revenue, capacity, and growth.

  • Role-based access so each team member sees only what they need
  • Shared notes on sessions, orders, and special client considerations
  • Task lists for studio prep, ordering appointments, and product delivery
  • Standard operating procedures translated into checklists and automations
