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.993 votes -

the addition of scheduling - whether through a new app or a tiein to one already out there
the ability to have clients schedule and pay session fees though Zenfolio would be very useful. the paypal integration is there, so just some sort of scheduling plug-in

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.

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.

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.

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.

FTP, sFTP, SSH - Bulk Uploads
We could really use something for bulk uploads. Selling event photography with 2,000-10,000 photos a weekend, we could really use some FTP, SFTP or some bulk uploader with folder hierarchy support. The tools out there now don't retry if something fails and are too slow. Java and web applets are not the answer here.

We are working on a desktop solution that will allow uploading hierarchies of nested folders. We will not be adding FTP support as it offers no benefits.

faster image loading in photo pages and slideshows
too much time watching progress squares, circles and bars, and not enough time getting to look at the images themselves. We need real performance gains, please!

We are working on multiple infrastructure updates including integration with Akamai, which should improve the loading speed.

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.

Absolutely in agreement.

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.

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… more
