Our Story

CloudSpot was created by a photographer (now our CEO) and it all started when he was beyond frustrated in his own photography business...something had to change.

Our History

Like any business, our story has successes, failures, twists and turns. We are grateful for this journey!

2013
Humble Beginnings

Pages of ideas, notes, and drawings start coming to life. The first lines of code for CloudSpot are written! After all, how hard could this be? 🤣

2014
First Glimpse

The first demo of CloudSpot (then called One Cloud) debuts at the WPPI trade show in Las Vegas. We sign up our first beta testers!

2015
Hello, World!

After another full year (and a name change) the CloudSpot website goes live and we officially launch to the photo industry! 🚀

2016
Full Steam Ahead

CloudSpot is accepted into a startup incubator program in Irvine, CA. We have our first “office” to call home.

2018
Time for a Glow-Up

Our entire application moves to the web (seeya desktop app). We surprise everyone with our new dashboard design too! 😍

2020
Work From Home, FTW

The world forever changes. Lockdowns mean the CloudSpot team says goodbye to our office. WFH life, FTW 🏡 👩🏻💻

2021
New Store, Who Dis?

We launch a re-imagined Store experience (and tons more) to empower our photogs during their busiest season. 📸

2023
The Game Just Changed

CloudSpot Studio launches and expands the ways we can help photogs run their business! Everything you need is now under one roof at a fraction of the cost. 🥳

TODAY
So Much to Come!

Our photogs continue to shape the future of CloudSpot. We’re more committed than ever to listening, learning, and building tools that help you thrive. We can’t wait to show you what we’re working on next!

Our Team

The CloudSpot team is spread all over the world and we're obsessed with helping photographers thrive in their business while having more time to do what they love!
