"I have to say that the customer service and Austin Carter helping me specifically have been amazing. I've hesitated for quite some time moving away from paper forms.

"AdvancePay is a selling feature for PhotoDay. Money spent is money forgotten, and my parents spend so much in AdvancePay credits, that by the time they’re checking out, they think, 'Oh, I got an $80 credit!' It gives the parents freedom to purchase a credit without making a commitment to photos they haven’t seen yet."

"I was able to get up and running with no prior experience super quickly. I booked my photo event with no plan. I found PhotoDay, took photos, and launched the job on PhotoDay in under two weeks! I found the software very intuitive and user-friendly. They walked me through everything I needed to know and gave me specific goals/tasks to get my job set up for success. I’m very grateful for the service, software, and staff."
