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 so grateful for this journey and the amazing creatives we serve each and every day!

Pages of ideas, notes, and drawings start coming to life. The first lines of code are written! How hard could it be? (ha!)
The first beta version of CloudSpot (then called One Cloud) debuts at the WPPI tradeshow in Las Vegas. We received tons of great feedback and signed up our first testers!
CloudSpot website goes live and we officially launch to the photo industry!
CloudSpot is accepted into a startup incubator program in Irvine, California. We officially have an office!
Our rebrand and new colors are unveiled to thousands of photographers at WPPI. Our hotel party that week may have been shut down by security...worth it.
We threw an End of Summer pool party for all of our Southern California photographers....but without the pool. That would have been too easy.
Our entire application moves to the web (seeya desktop app) and we surprise everyone with our new dashboard design!
The world changes and lockdowns mean the CloudSpot team says goodbye to our little local office. Work from home life, for the win.
We leaned in hard to bring a re-imaged Store experience and tons more features to empower our photographers to earn more during the busiest season seen by our industry.
CloudSpot Studio launches and expands the ways we now help photographers run their business! From Contracts and Invoicing to Project management. Everything you need is now under one roof at a fraction of the price!
