  • Gavin and his wife Erin started their photography business just 3 months into dating one another. A year later, after just returning from their honeymoon, they took a leap of faith and turned their shared passion into a full-time profession! Shooting between 30 and 50 weddings a year, they very quickly learned that there were never enough hours in the day. Gavin saw a huge hole in their workflow and their clients' experience when it came to delivering photos. From there, CloudSpot was born!

    Fast forward several years (and a couple kiddos) later and CloudSpot has become known for being the fastest, easiest, and most customizable way for photographers to deliver and sell their work online! Gavin has a heart for helping fellow photographers be successful in their businesses and creating solutions that give them more time to be doing what they love most!

  • Over the last couple years I have read in many forums the question “Which is the best Client Management System” Each time there would be a number of different ones listed and affiliate links thrown out. I want to help those who are wondering the ins and outs of two very popular ones for photographers. I want to start off by saying that both of these platforms are great, however they may serve each business owner differently depending on how they hope to use it. Go ahead and grab your cup of coffee and get comfortable, we’re talking about Honeybook VS Dubsado in Episode 017.
