Little ones don’t sit still. A nursery session gives you plenty of lovely moments — and plenty of blinks, turned heads, blurred movement and near-identical bursts. SmartCull grew out of a real nursery photographer’s experience: sorting one group by hand could take two to three hours. The software was designed to make that first pass more manageable.
Where the necessary explicit permissions are in place, face grouping can create albums automatically. Without them, photograph a “New child” card between children — and a “Group photos with the previous child” card before sibling or family shots — or choose By clothing, which needs no cards but is less accurate when outfits look alike.

Open an ordering gallery for the group, with no separate gallery fee. Parents with the shared group access can also browse other albums in that group; make this clear when sharing the gallery. Previews can be watermarked or blurred, and parents can order prints or digital files at your prices — on a phone if they like. See how the parent ordering gallery works →
Your first session is free up to 100 photos, with download and parent gallery included. No card needed. Or look around the demo: a real nursery session, shown with the parents’ consent.
