Black Friday Specials for Photographers 2024

It’s that time of year again where our family photography businesses are starting to transition into the slower, holiday months. We are looking at our sales numbers for 2024, planning our end of year push through additional print & session sales, and starting to plan for the new year. We may have some money to invest in our business before the year is over too! So I wanted to round up some of the best Black Friday specials for photographers 2024 I’ve found from the businesses whose products and services I love! All 8 of these below help me streamline my business so I can focus on creating photos!

1. 17hats

17hats is my favorite CRM. I’ve been using them for years and they only offer sales during Black Friday. Their automations and workflows bring consistency to my customer experience and save me SO MUCH TIME. And I love their Online Scheduling feature, which has been a game-changer for booking clients in 2 states along with studio events. Plus, they have the BEST customer service. 17hats offers 3 different tiers of service based on your needs, and the Essentials tier is only $150/year –whaaaaat?! You can make that $150 back with 1 booking and it will SAVE you so much time!

PLUS, to make it even more of a no-brainer, if you sign up as a new customer during their Black Friday Sale, you get 50% off for one year! $75 total for 12 months for the Essential tier?! It’s a No-Brainer!

Last, If you’re new to 17hats, they rolled out a Marketplace in 2024 where you can snag emails, templates, workflows, and much more. I’m personally offering a sale on my family email templates here from 11/29 – 12/6.  Last, don’t worry if you already use 17hats. Existing members get 50% off of 1 year, so one year is added to your subscription. If you have questions, they offer free trials and demos! Also check out their awesome Free Holiday Gift Guide.

2. Pic-Time 

I’ve been using Pic-Time for my gallery deliveries and Storefront since they launched many years ago and absolutely love them! Not only are their galleries beautiful, they are easily customizable, intuitive, and help you make money. The Storefront not only offers many print labs to choose from, but they help your clients actually see what the finish product will look like! AND, Pic-Time offers amazing Campaigns and Automations, like the Simple Sales System, Abandoned Cart, and Holiday Campaigns. They continually improve the experience for both myself and my clients, and I also love that my printable files are archived for safe-keeping. It’s just icing on the cake in my mind! If you upgrade to a paid plan, you get one month FREE!

3. Richard Photo Lab

I’ve been a happy partner and customer of Richard Photo Lab (RPL) since I went back to shooting film 11 years ago. Not only are their scans just gorgeous, but they have the best customer service. If you’re new to film you can try them out with 15% off your first film dev/scan service! (Your discount will be applied at check-out.)

But, not only are RPL’s film services amazing, they also have an awesome print lab! They have printed the most beautiful fine art prints, framed prints, albums, and more and have the best quality!

4. This Can’t Be That Hard

Speaking of Black Friday specials for photographers 2024, I have to mention This Can’t Be That Hard. I hope you are familiar with Annemie Tonken of TCBTH, but if you’re not, she helps family photographers create profitable, smart businesses that they love. She has an amazing podcast you should listen to as well! So go check out her amazing Black Friday deals she has. (One that stuck out to me was her Biz Bestie coaching!?)

5. Click Photo School

If you want to use the slow months to level up your photography game, Click Photo School offers a ton of guided and self-paced courses about basically everything. It could be newborn, family, business courses, or macro, landscape, color theory, and so much more (all at very reasonable prices). If you’d like to learn how I work with families behind-the-scenes, my workflows, & tips and tricks to infuse fun into your family sessions, check out The FUNtographer Experience for only $49!

6. Amazon

If you need flash or lighting gear, or need some newborn or family photography equipment and are curious what I use and recommend, check out my list on Amazon. I’m not yet sure what they are offering for BF deals, but you know they always have something amazing!  

7. Stylecloud

You may remember I had to rebuild my website this summer before my Flotheme stopped working…..but because my WordPress website is so big and my Siteground hosting service still had a year left on my contract, I chose to migrate to a Kadence theme with Stylecloud design. Stylecloud was amazing to work with! Their customer service is awesome. They had built out all these video tutorials, and even created a migrator plug-in to help Flothemes users migrate their content over. Not only are they always coming out with new themes that you can build upon or mix and match (I’m personally eyeing the new Matcha theme coming out the 25th) , but now they have matching Canva templates to make your branding on-point across all platforms! Even when it’s not Black Friday, purchasing a Stylecloud membership is a no-brainer at $169/year. So stay tuned – their BF sale starts Monday the 25th!

8. Notion

I’ve been using Notion for my Event and Content Calendars and well as staying on track with my daily tasks and goals. It has blown me away and is the most amazing organizational tool ever! Think of it like Google docs and sheets on Steroids, plus you can do keyword searches, share your space with your team, and so much more! You can basically create anything you want, and they have a FREE version. If you’re Notion-curious, sign up and explore the most amazing organizational tool ever. 

I’m currently working on some amazing tools and templates for you that will work with Notion, so if you want to level-up your Yearly Planning, Content Marketing, and Event Management, stay tuned!

So there you have it! My 8 Black Friday specials for photographers 2024. If you have any questions about any of these companies or my experiences with them, email me! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and cheers to setting up your business for success in 2025!
