Built because
juggling five apps
got old.
Running a photography business in Australia has meant stitching together American gallery tools, a separate CRM, an invoicing app and US-priced print labs — none of which talk to each other, price in dollars, or know what a tax invoice is. LumiHQ is being built, independently and in Australia, to put the whole workflow in one calm place.
One workflow,
one login.
Galleries came first.
Client galleries, themes, favourites, downloads and a print store — the delivery experience your clients actually see, treated as the main event.
Then the studio manager.
Because a gallery tool alone still leaves you juggling a CRM, a booking app and an invoicing tool. Pipeline, bookings, contracts, questionnaires and invoices moved in under the same roof.
Australian details throughout.
AUD pricing, GST tax invoices, local print fulfilment options and weather-aware scheduling for outdoor shoots — the details imported software never gets right.
Now: early access.
LumiHQ is opening to a first small group of Australian photographers. Founding members get a direct line to the person building it — and what they ask for shapes what gets built next.
Four things we
won't compromise on.
Photographers first.
Every feature passes a single test: would a working photographer on a Sunday night thank us for it?
Calm software.
We will never gamify your dashboard. No streaks, no badges, no nudges. Just tools that get out of the way.
Honest pricing.
No "starting from" trickery. No per-gallery surcharges. The price you see is the price you pay, in AUD.
Straight answers.
Support is email, in Australian hours, answered by the person who builds the product — not a ticket queue on the other side of the world.
Independent,
by design.
LumiHQ is independently built and owned in Australia — no venture capital timeline, no acquisition exit plan, no pressure to squeeze more out of you each quarter.
That means decisions get made the way you'd make them: keep it fast, keep it fair, and answer people properly when they ask for help. If you join during early access, you're not a ticket number — you're one of the photographers this is being built with.
