Software for photographers

Photographer booking software for shoots on location

A photographer rarely works in one place: a family session in the park today, coverage of a corporate party tomorrow, and a wedding that runs from morning to night on Saturday. Photographer booking software has to keep all of these jobs in one calendar, remember where exactly the shoot happens, and never hand clients the time that already went to driving there.

A day of mini sessions before the holidays

Before New Year or in spring, a photographer books a location and shoots short sessions back to back. A day like that does not require rewriting the usual weekly schedule: one-time working hours are set for a specific date and can be cloned to the next one, and a single day can hold several separate time ranges with a lunch break between them. The mini session is set up as its own short service, so the open time ranges of that day fit several clients in a row.

The shoot address arrives with the booking

When a session is not in a studio, the photographer needs the place, the number of people in the frame and the occasion. Additional fields extend the booking form with, for example, a field for the address or for outfit ideas, and a field can be made required, as the help page on booking form fields shows. The evening before, the client gets a reminder at a fixed time that repeats the date and start time, so the family is not waiting for the photographer in a different park.

A brand that needs new photos every month

A coffee shop or a clothing store often orders content on a regular basis. For a client like that, a membership is created from a template that lists only the relevant services and a validity period, and when a booking is made the system finds the active membership on its own, so nobody has to count by hand how many shoots are left. A shoot that is not in the template, such as coverage of a new location's opening, is not covered by the membership and is paid for separately.
