You've watched all the tutorials and you aren't sure what you want the end result to be.
There are so many features you aren't sure which ones you need in your business.
You considered a done-for-you option, but either you couldn't afford it and/or wanted to learn HOW so you could make changes yourself.
Your DIY of Dubsado is a #fail
You are constantly writing all your client email communications from scratch.
You are losing inquiries because your booking process is un-organized and you're slow to respond.
You are wasting too much time running your business to enjoy it.
You finally realized this is an actual business
Which one sounds more like you?
Everything you need to start running your family photography business like a BOSS in less than 10 days
finally cross dubsado off your to-do list
omg, I'm so in!
in either case, it's time to press pause on the DIY Merry-Go-Round and make a plan to have better systems for your business.
This is how you build a business that works for you.

Imagine what it would feel like if you could enjoy a day at the beach and not continuously check on your business.
That sounds amazing!
Because I've seen photographers jump into Dubsado without a plan and six months later their account sits unused. When I think about anyone wasting money on something that could be saving you so much time and stress... it seriously breaks my heart.
I am a taco-craving, tech-obsessed, former professor who built a storytelling business making films and photos for everyday families.
For the last four years not only I have used Dubsado to automate and scale my own business, I have helped many other family photographers do the same.
Colie James here...

I worked through Colie's CRM Blueprint in three days. Granted, they were three long and focused days, but nonetheless I checked off every last thing and was welcoming new clients into my new Dubsado by day four. Colie's CRM Blueprint is structured intuitively; every step is laid out in a way that makes you feel like she's right there with you holding your hand. I already knew Colie was a great teacher, but this course blew me away - it was worth every penny, and then some!
Let me start by saying I loathe online classes. Or rather, I'm a terrible online learner. I have bought numerous PDFs over the years and taken a handful of online courses, none of which I ever made my way through to the end. NOT THIS COURSE.

Before purchasing Dubsado I was having pretty extensive discussions via messenger with clients. Now that I have an established workflow in Dubsado I feel like my client communication is SO much more consistent and efficient. It also gets my sessions booked, complete with a signed contract and retainer fee paid in record time."
Before purchasing Dubsado I was having pretty extensive discussions via messenger with clients and answering A LOT of questions in order to get the necessary information to send the contract. This was a time consuming process and it felt like it was a pain, not just for me but for my clients too. Now that I have an established workflow in Dubsado I feel like my client communication is SO much more consistent and efficient. It also gets my sessions booked, complete with a signed contract and retainer fee paid in record time."
"Ultimately, what helped me to get up and running with my Dubsado was a step-by-step set of instructions & a guided tutorial from Colie showing me the process of one complete proposal/workflow.
Every aspect of this course was written for family photographers. Each template, canned email, and workflow can be applied to your own family photography business.
It has a no fluff approach with action packed advice in bite-sized modules that help you get your Dubsado setup in a matter of days, not months.
A self-paced experience which puts you in control of how quickly you implement your setup.
Exclusive access to your teacher (that's me!) via weekly group Q&A + implementation Zoom calls:

Colie knows Dubsado like no other family photographer. She shares her knowledge in a clear, concise and very understandable way. Through her teaching I have added so much organization and simplified my processes immensely. If you need a CRM in your business (and you do), take Colie’s course so that your future self will thank you."
"Colie is THE reason that I chose Dubsado for my own photography business and I am so happy I did.
You're happy with your client data being scattered among different platforms.
You're not willing to spend the time to complete the program.
You're resistant to automation and want to continue creating everything from scratch for each and every client.
You do not currently have a Dubsado account (trial or paid will work for this course) and are not willing to create one.
CRM Blueprint isn't a good fit for you if:
CRM Blueprint is perfect for you even if:
You're still in the beginning of building your business.
If you enroll in CRM Blueprint you will have a distinct advantage over other photographers when they started by having systems in place
You don't have a large client base.
One of the biggest myths I see is photographers don't think they need a CRM until they have a big client base. I would argue it's more important to set up your system now, so you have time to work on scaling your business.
You're not tech savvy.
This is literally what I am here for. Not only does CRM Blueprint have short videos to walk you through each step in an easy-to-follow manner, you have weekly access to me in group Q&A / implementation sessions.
You're a rockstar at this business thang.
This program is not just for the newbies. If you feel like there is room to grow and improve your current systems, let's do this!
You've never used a CRM before.
The CRM Blueprint shows you how to get started in Dubsado from the 1st step of creating an account. As long as you are ready to use a CRM this is the program for you.
I am confident even long-time users will benefit from the specific family photography strategy and templates provided in the blueprint. If you are unhappy with any part of your current setup/workflows, we will find the holes and plug them!
WHAT IF I ALREADY USE DUBSADO? IS THIS COURSE ONLY FOR BEGINNERS?

There is no such thing as falling behind in the CRM Blueprint. You have lifetime access to the course materials as well as any future updates. But honesty, when you see the power of running your business with the power of Dubsado, you find time. This is a course you will commit to finishing!
WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND? HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURSE?

While you could likely take the strategies + done-for-you templates and apply them in any CRM, this is an implementation program. All the step-by-step videos show you how to setup your Dubsado account from scratch, or audit your current Dubsado setup to make it more efficient.
I USE ANOTHER CRM, CAN I STILL TAKE THE CRM BLUEPRINT AND APPLY IT TO MY BUSINESS?

You must have a Dubsado account or be willing to create one. For the purpose of this course, you can have a paid account or start a trial. Dubsado's forever trial will allow you to complete access for free for your 1st 3 clients.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO INVEST IN BEYOND THIS COURSE TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

I've spent hours creating my signature system for photographers so you don't have to!
But here's the thing, you've got me.
hang out with your family
Book a spa day
take a vacation
Binge netflix in your PJs
Once you automate your business in Dubsado this will free up time to...
You could also totally spend that extra time growing your business!
