About us

A family business, built for every season.

I'm Clay. I've spent years working as a software engineer, and my wife, Ali, has spent hers behind the camera as a photographer. Then came our two boys, and life got full in the best way.

Somewhere between nap schedules and shoot days, we realized something was missing: gallery software that fits how photographers actually live, without premium prices for the features everyone needs.

So we combined our skills and built it.

Why Terracotta

Life comes in seasons. Your bill should too.

We get that work ebbs and flows. So Terracotta charges only for the storage you use, month by month, and every feature comes with every account.

  • Full-time photographersWedding season fills every weekend, then winter goes quiet.
  • StudentsShoots fit between classes, then finals take over.
  • MomsThe camera comes out when naps and school runs allow. And on maternity leave, you're never charged just to keep a plan.

We want to build something that works for everyone, and never make money off your busy seasons.

3 GB free, forever. After that, pay only for what you store.
