Slate is the home base for your photo and video business. The shoot is the fun part.

You can also send delivered galleries to Google Drive, invite staff and track their status, archive past team members, and ask crew to confirm shoots. Plus bug fixes and improvements. ### 1.3 — 2026-07-07 Bug Fix ### 1.2 — 2026-06-29 This update makes Slate cleaner, faster, and easier to get paid in. Photography clients get a simpler home screen with just their upcoming shoots, galleries, and invoices. Brokerages can now add multiple partner logins so the whole team has access. You can preview invoices before sending them with every service itemized, and clients can pay by card or check. Scheduling is faster too, just tap any day on your calendar to add availability, plus a new broker scoreboard, and polish and bug fixes throughout.
