About

Hi, I’m Elle.

I’m a photographer first. For more than 17 years, Elle Jones Studios has been my creative home: portraits, seniors, maternity, families, boudoir and headshots, in the studio and on location around the Portland area.

The studio started out serving entertainment artists, under the name Artist Media Complete. Over the years it grew into a full creative studio. Today I work with families, business professionals, startups and small business owners on photography, graphic design, web design and branding.

And somewhere along the way, I started building software.

Why a photographer started writing code

Every session I shoot follows the same path: a client books, signs a contract, pays a deposit, we have the shoot, they pick their favorites, and they get their finished photos. Simple for the client, or at least it should be.

Behind the scenes, it never was. Booking lived in one app, contracts in another, galleries in a third, payments in a fourth, and every one of them charged a monthly fee. I used the big gallery platforms myself. They were good products, but I kept wishing for one place that understood the whole journey, from “I’d love to book” to “I just downloaded my photos.”

I couldn’t find it, so I built it.

PhotoEZ for WordPress

PhotoEZ is the plugin suite I built so photographers can run their whole client experience from their own website, with their own branding, and without renting it from someone else. It’s made by my software company, EJS Tech

PhotoEZ: watermarked proof galleries, client favorites, extra photo sales, and secure full-resolution delivery. Start with [PhotoEZ Lite](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoez-lite/), free on WordPress.org.

PhotoEZ Booking: online booking with sessions, add-ons, deposits and reminders.

PhotoEZ Photography Contracts: contracts clients sign online, filled in from each booking.

PhotoEZ Event Gallery: event galleries with print and digital sales.

PhotoEZ Reviews: client reviews, requested after delivery and approved by you.

InvoiceEZ: quotes and invoices that tie into the rest.

I run my own studio on PhotoEZ

PhotoEZ isn’t something I built and walked away from. It runs Elle Jones Studios every day. When you book a session with me, your booking, deposit, contract, proof gallery, favorites and final downloads all come through PhotoEZ, the same tools I build for other photographers.

That’s also how every feature gets tested: in my own studio first, with my own clients. If I wouldn’t use it in my business, it doesn’t ship.

PhotoEZ Cloud

Not every photographer wants to run a WordPress site, so I built PhotoEZ Cloud: the same PhotoEZ workflow as an online app, with nothing to install or host.

Your studio page, step-by-step booking, contracts, proofing galleries, delivery and payments all live in one place, with AI that sorts new inquiries, finds the right shots in a gallery, and flags blurry frames before you deliver. Clients can order prints and gifts right from their gallery, and payments go straight to your own Stripe account. There’s a free plan, and every new studio can try Pro free for 14 days.

Still behind the camera

Building software hasn’t replaced photography; it makes it better. Every hour I save on paperwork is an hour I get back with my clients, and every tool I build starts with a problem I ran into in my own studio.

Whether you’re here to book a session, to talk about a website or brand, or because you’re a photographer looking for a simpler way to run your business, I’d love to hear from you.
