Lumeneer.
Built by photographers, for photographers

Every photo in the right gallery, ready to sell.

Lumeneer turns shoot day into revenue. Scan a code for each subject, upload your edited photos, and every frame lands in the right client gallery on its own: face-checked, password-protected, and ready to buy. Less admin, more return on every job.

How it works

From shoot day to paid, in seven steps.

The whole workflow is built around one idea. You shoot and edit; the platform handles the sorting, the delivery and the selling.

01
Create your jobStep 1 of 7
  1. 01

    Create your job

    Import your subject list from a CSV or school roster. Private galleries and access codes are generated for every subject automatically.

  2. 02

    Calibrate the session

    Print each subject's QR card and sync your camera for the session, so every frame you shoot can be traced to the right person.

  3. 03

    Shoot with the web scanner

    The scanner is a web link, not an app. It runs on any phone or tablet and keeps working offline, caching every scan until you are back on a connection.

  4. 04

    Edit, then upload

    Cull and edit exactly as you do today, then drag the finished JPEGs straight in, thousands at a time, up to 5 MB per photo.

  5. 05

    Galleries fill themselves

    Barcodes route every photo into the right gallery. Face detection flags anything that looks out of place, such as two faces in one gallery or a stray frame, so you can fix it in a single click.

  6. 06

    Review and go live

    Approve the few flagged photos, click Go Live, and every parent or client gets secure access to exactly their own photos, and nothing else.

  7. 07

    Clients buy, you get paid

    Checkout and payouts are built in. You keep everything but the 2% commission, or just 1.5% locked for life when you join as a founding member.

The platform

Delivery is the product. Everything serves it.

There are no portfolio-site distractions here. Every feature exists to move photos from your camera to a paying client using as little of your time as possible.

Team and class photos, everywhere at once

Push a group photo to every member's gallery in a single action. It is fully reversible and logged, so class photos never mean copying files by hand again.

Your prices, your packages

Build price lists for digitals, prints and bundles, and switch them per job. School rates, sports rates and wedding rates can all live side by side.

Secure by default

Per-subject access codes, password-protected galleries, encrypted storage and 5-year retention, built from day one for work involving children.

Inside the platform

Built like the tools you already love.

Current studio dashboard screens are shown in clean production-style frames. Precise, fast, and focused on the numbers and workflows that run your business.

Run picture day like clockwork

Every job in one place, from roster import to going live. Upcoming, active and published shoots stay organised, and the day's job appears on the scanner automatically.

Bespoke print service

Your local print shop, wired in.

Digital downloads are built in. For prints, we connect the lab you already trust as a bespoke integration service included with your plan.

Option one

Direct platform integration

If your print shop runs a system we can connect to, we build the bridge. Orders flow straight from your galleries into their queue, complete with sizes, quantities, crops and shipping details. No re-keying, no CSV exports.

Option two

Automated order notifications

No integration available? We set up automated emails so your lab is notified the moment a print order lands, with the files, the product list and the delivery details it needs to fulfil the job. This works with any print shop, anywhere.

Tell us who prints for you and we'll scope the connection during onboarding, or ask us about it in a demo.

Pricing

One fair price. Everything included.

No tiers, no feature gates, no per-photo fees, no setup fees. Every studio gets the whole platform, and founding members lock in our lowest rate for as long as they stay.

Compare

The honest alternative to a 7% commission.

GotPhoto's published Pro plan takes $49.90/mo plus 7% of every sale. Lumeneer is one fair subscription and a 1.5% founding rate, locked for life. At $50,000 in annual sales that's roughly $2,800 you keep instead of hand over. The point is simply that you keep what you earn. Move the slider for your own numbers.

Comparison uses list prices published on gotphoto.com/pricing and proofpix.com, in USD, last re-checked on 23 July 2026. GotPhoto also offers Free (12% service fee) and Growth ($9.90/mo, 9%) tiers; Proofpix advertises $50/mo with no sales commission. "Not published" and "Not advertised" mean we could not find the detail in the provider's public materials, not that it does not exist. Plans, fees and features change; confirm current terms with each provider before deciding. Example costs assume the stated annual gallery sales and exclude payment processing, taxes and print costs. GotPhoto and Proofpix are trademarks of their respective owners; Lumeneer is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either.

Questions

Straight answers.

And the things parents and schools care about, built in from day one:

  • Encrypted storage, HTTPS everywhere
  • Password-protected, per-subject galleries
  • Safeguards designed for work involving minors
  • 5-year retention on every plan
How much does Lumeneer cost?

One plan, $99 per month or $1,000 per year (paying yearly saves you about two months). Every plan includes a 2% commission on gallery sales. Founding members pay half price in their first year, $49.5 per month or $500 per year, and keep a 1.5% commission for as long as they stay subscribed. Payment processing is passed through at cost, with no markup.

What does the commission apply to?

Only to sales you make through your galleries: 2% as standard, or 1.5% locked for life as a founding member. You set your own prices and keep the rest. There are no listing fees, no per-order fees, and no markup on payment processing.

How much storage do I get?

2 TB on every plan, roughly 400,000 photos, kept for 5 years. Need more? Extra storage is $12 per month (or $120 per year) for each additional terabyte. Uploads are photo files only, up to 5 MB per photo.

How do photos end up in the right gallery?

During the shoot, you scan each subject's QR or barcode card with the web scanner. When you upload your edited photos, the platform reads those codes and routes every frame into the right private gallery automatically. Face detection then flags anything that looks out of place, such as two different faces in one gallery, so you can resolve the few exceptions with a single click before going live.

Does the scanner need an app?

No. The scanner is a web link that runs in any phone or tablet browser, and it keeps working offline. Scans are cached on the device and sync the moment you reconnect. There is nothing to install, and nothing for your second shooters to set up.

Can you connect my local print shop?

Yes. We build bespoke print integrations as part of your plan. If your lab runs a platform we can connect to, orders flow through to it automatically. If not, we set up automated order emails so your print shop is notified the moment an order lands, with everything it needs to fulfil the job.

I'm on GotPhoto or Proofpix. How hard is switching?

It is straightforward. Import your subject list for each job by CSV, and your galleries, access codes and storefront are generated for you. Most studios run their first job within a week. At $50,000 in annual sales, a studio on GotPhoto's published Pro plan would pay around $2,800 more in year one than a founding member here. Use the calculator above to run your own numbers, and check current competitor pricing on their sites.
