Let me guess...
Shakes head yes
You tried to set up your CRM on your own.
You watched the tutorials. You downloaded the freebies.
You even blocked off an entire weekend to “finally get it done”... and yet, here you are.
Your inbox is still overflowing, your Dubsado or Honeybook feels half-baked, and you’re spending as much time inside your CRM as you do editing.
“This was supposed to save me time, not add another thing to my plate.”
Or takes so long you give up and do it manually.

You double-check the settings, refresh the page—nope, still broken.
Or it just doesn’t work…

“Wait, why did that client just get my wedding package instead of a newborn session?” 😳
It sends the wrong thing at the worst time…

And your business still feels like a dumpster fire behind the scenes.
So, you think: “Okay, I’ll automate this and make my life easier.” But instead of freeing up your time, it just gives you more problems to fix.
Because when you try to automate something…
Take it from Posy, who finished the CRM Blueprint in just 3 days and was up and running with her new system by day 4.
That’s not a unicorn moment—it’s what happens when you follow a clear, proven roadmap built specifically for photographers.
Yes, really. Most students set up their CRM in under a week.
What if you could stop second-guessing and start booking—by the weekend?

I got my Dubsado account setup in three days with Colie's CRM Blueprint!
Granted, they were three long and focused days, but nonetheless I checked off every last thing and was welcoming new clients into my new Dubsado by day four. Colie's CRM Blueprint is structured intuitively; every step is laid out in a way that makes you feel like she's right there with you holding your hand. I already knew Colie was a great teacher, but this course blew me away - it was worth every penny, and then some!

What if I told you that with the CRM Blueprint you could...
I’m In — Give Me the Blueprint
Send one link that books the client, schedules the session, and gets you paid—automatically.
Make your entire booking process feel like an extension of your brand, not a clunky afterthought.
Keep every email, form, and payment detail in one place so nothing (and no one) gets lost.
Set it up once and reuse it on autopilot—no more copying, pasting, or starting from scratch.

I feel like I'm running my business my way. I don't feel like I bought someone else's plan and had it slapped on my business. I feel like Colie not only taught me how to set it up and make it mine, but anytime I need help, she makes sure that she's understanding what I'm wanting for my business and helps me make that happen."

When I first got into the course and I started setting up the canned emails, she had the magic email in there. I had a few leads that had ghosted me. So I just sent them the magic email, and two of those ended up booking me for services. One of them was a two month old inquiry. (I apparently was the only one to check back in and follow up with her.) We set up an interview and then she booked me the next day. And that was for my highest package, which is $2,200 right now. And then I had another one that booked me for a $1,500 package.

If you are sick of Googling every little step individually, just buy Colie's Course!
I've had Dubsado for 3 years already and have probably (knowingly) used about 10% of its capacity. It was sooo confusing and a beast of software (amazing, but just a massive learning curve). The course was really detailed and specific, but also sequenced so logically and clearly. I liked the short videos and then I could take action right away (I learn well like that). If you sense that you're only just scratching the surface of what Dubsado can do for your business, and are sick of Googling every little step individually, just buy Colie's course.

Your life after
CRM Blueprint:
You're frequently feeling overwhelmed staying on top of your projects.
You're spending too much time re-creating offers and communications from scratch.
You're feeling like you don’t have enough time for family or self-care.
You know exactly where every inquiry and client is in your workflows.
You’ve able to respond and send templated + custom offers to clients within minutes.
You can decide how to spend your newly acquired free time, without micro-managing your business.

The thoroughness of the information, the flow and process to set it all up, and the way you are always (I mean ALWAYS) available to answer questions make this head and shoulders above any other online course I've ever bought. If you want to get your CRM up and running quickly, without having to recreate the wheel and figure it all out on your own, this is perfect.

"I never could have set up Dubsado without you, Colie!
I’ve seen it again and again — people sign up for Dubsado or HoneyBook with the best intentions…
and six months later their account still sits unused
That’s not a tech problem.
That’s a no-plan problem.
When I think about how much time and stress it could’ve saved you — it seriously breaks my heart 💔
Believe me when I say, There is a version of your business where you are NOT always stressed and glued to a computer.
You're happy with your client data being scattered among different platforms.
You're not willing to spend the time to complete the program.
You're resistant to automation and want to continue creating everything from scratch for each and every client.
You do not currently have a Dubsado account (trial or paid will work for this course) and are not willing to create one.
CRM Blueprint isn't a good fit for you if:
CRM Blueprint is perfect for you even if:
You're still in the beginning of building your business.
If you enroll in CRM Blueprint you will have a distinct advantage over other photographers when they started by having systems in place
You don't have a large client base.
One of the biggest myths I see is photographers don't think they need a CRM until they have a big client base. I would argue it's more important to set up your system now, so you have time to work on scaling your business.
You're not tech savvy.
This is literally what I am here for. Not only does CRM Blueprint have short videos to walk you through each step in an easy-to-follow manner, you have weekly access to me in group Q&A / implementation sessions.
You're a rockstar at this business thang.
This program is not just for the newbies. If you feel like there is room to grow and improve your current systems, let's do this!
You've never used a CRM before.
The CRM Blueprint shows you how to get started in Dubsado from the 1st step of creating an account. As long as you are ready to use a CRM this is the program for you.
my superpower is making complicated shit simple, particularly with regards to systems strategy + automations for photographers.

Your Systems Professor
COLIE, I TRUST YOU — PLEASE MAKE THIS EASY
Before I started Colie James Photography in 2012, offering in-home family + newborn photography sessions, I was a college professor for 10 years..
But how did I get here… as THE go-to systems guru for photographers?
On my birthday in 2020, I was a guest on the This Can’t Be That Hard podcast, spreading my love for all things CRMs. This was the spark that led to the creation of my Dubsado implementation course for photographers + later my Dubsado VIP Day setup services. Thanks Annemie 😍

Before purchasing Dubsado I was having pretty extensive discussions via messenger with clients. Now that I have an established workflow in Dubsado I feel like my client communication is SO much more consistent and efficient. It also gets my sessions booked, complete with a signed contract and retainer fee paid in record time."
You can also duplicate it, customize it, change it, whatever. So it's so easy, cuz customizing is a big thing that kind of will slow me down. But since I could get through all that, then it's really easy to just go back in now that it's all done and set it up exactly how I want it."
"I loved all the step by steps and the videos. I loved how you could like click the button and it would import like the forms for you. So I didn't have to waste any time [creating them].
- A plug-and-play CRM setup built for creatives, not corporate consultants
- Every email, workflow, and automation you need to stop babysitting your business
- Templates, timelines, and training so you never have to Google “how to Dubsado/Honeybook” again
- A proven system that’s booked hundreds of clients — and will work for you, too
You’ve already done the hard part: realizing you need a better system.
Here’s The Bottom Line…
You’ll know exactly where every lead is, what step comes next, and how to actually show up like the pro you are.
Set it up once. Reuse it forever.
Then go edit, shoot, sleep in, or take a damn day off — your business can handle it.
