Bulk Emails are surprisingly missing from most CRMs and gallery systems in an integrated functional way. Sprout is killing with this. Pic-Time can do emails but only associated with galleries and gallery sales, doesn't really work for mini sessions, etc.
I moved over from Tave and Pic-Time, too, and I'm happier with Sprout!
If nothing else having your client have one place to go in their interactions with you is worth the switch.
