Albums / Books
A huge step in the right direction with the newest update is packages. The customer can select different images for the prints in the package. How about taking it one step further and start offering albums. It seems to me like it would work like package, except instead of the customer picking prints, they can be pages.
I know a lot of users have been asking for albums, so please give this one some votes.1,811 votes -
Custom Layouts for the Web Pages
Having only 8 layout options is a bit inconvenient. It would be awesome if there were a customized layout option, or better yet a tool to BUILD your own layout by drag/drop specific elements onto your page.

the addition of scheduling - whether through a new app or a tiein to one already out there

a second iphone app .... one for clients
the iphone app we have today is amazing, however it is for members of Zenfolio. We need an iphone app to give to clients, give them a quick client access code, and the iphone app shows just their photos.

Additional, more Modern, built-in, customizable homepage layouts
My biggest complaint about Zen is that the homepages are great--if you like one of the few standard layouts. But, these layouts are all somewhat similar and feel quite dated. Newer, more modern layouts are needed badly! And not just for the home page--which is more important, but the galleries need some sprucing up as well.

Improved Visitor stats
Currently the most popular Photos / Galleries leaves a lot to be desired. At the very least make it the top 10 most popular photos - but preferably have the chance to drill down on a per gallery basis. I know Google Analytics exists - but I'm not sure why we should need to sign up to an additional external account to find out info on our shots.

Send email from my domain
It would be far better to have emails sent from my domain than "Zenfolio [noreply@zenfoliomail.com]; on behalf of; CCG Creative Studios, LLC [sales@ccgcreativestudios.com]". This is simply not a very attractive presentation to the client. You've done a very nice job removing branding in most places for the Premium account, but this is a weak spot.
If Google Mail can figure out how to send email through my SMTP server by letting me set up credentials in the proper way, then surely the smart people at Zenfolio can find a way to do the same thing.

Calendar Based Booking
If you would like to have a Calendar Based Booking feature added, please vote. The idea is this: a potential client visits your site and wants to know your availability. She sees that a particular day is available, and clicks on that day. She is then presented with a form that contains fields of information that the photographer deems necessary. After filling out the information, the data is emailed to the photographer, and that date is temporarily booked, pending payment. If you would like a calendar/booking feature similar to this implemented, please vote now

Dynamic Collections
I would like to see the ability to set up dynamic galleries. For example, you could set up a gallery that contains all of your public photos with the keyword "sunset." Or all photos with a focal length of 200mm. Or all photos with a focal length >200mm AND the keyword "sunset." The ability to specify which galleries to pull photos from would be nice as well.

Music througout site and not just on main page
I would like to have the music you experience constant throughout a visitors visit to my site. It would very much help the cohesiveness of the site. It doing so it would be nice to set a group of tracks to play so one piece of music is not replaying in the event someone is on a site for any length of time.

Collaboration upload sharing link
Do you shoot events and have multiple photographers (collaborators)? Would it be useful to have them upload their own photos to your site?
This idea would allow users of your choice to upload photos to a gallery of your choice. This would avoid having them transfer photos to you and then you having to upload them to your site.
Once the photos are uploaded then you can manage them just like any other photos on your site.
The upload screen could be made available to the collaborator via a link sent by the page owner. Access to the link would…

Email Marketing Campaigns and Templates
A new system for email marketing campaigns and a good template system for scheduling and sending emails to clients. From start to finish of an events life cycle integration from event cards, to signup coupons and emails letting the client know the event is ready to view. Then followup emails to the client reminding them to order their photos. This could all be customized depending on the role of the guest at the wedding and it is option for the client. The client can click a box saying "Please don't email me reminders" I think this would take Zenfolio to…

Insert multiple photos to a blog post
With the great new blog feature I was excited to start moving my current blog over. However I noticed that you need to add each photo individually rather than as a batch, this is going to be a slow process. I'm sure most photographers will want to put multiple photos in each blog post so to make the blog useful I think this is an essential modification.
