Photography sessions

Your date is held. The deposit is in.

Clients pick a session, choose an open date and pay a deposit to hold it. Then they answer your questionnaire, send a mood board and watch their shoot go from booked to delivered.

It starts from“A booking site for my photography business with mini, portrait and event sessions at set prices, clients pick an open date and pay a deposit by card, each date can only be booked once, a questionnaire after booking where clients upload mood board photos, and a client login showing whether their shoot is booked, editing or delivered.”

What comes working in a photography booking app?

Booked and briefed, before you pack a lens.

The admin that eats a photographer’s evenings comes working in the first version, in your studio’s name and colors.

  • ✓ Comes working01

    Session types at your prices

    Mini, portrait, event: each with its own price or deposit, fixed in the app, so the number on the page is the number they pay.

  • ✓ Comes working02

    One shoot per date

    Open the dates and times you shoot. Once a date is booked it’s gone, so two families never land on the same golden hour.

  • ✓ Comes working03

    A deposit that holds the date

    Paid by card at booking, into your own Stripe account. Lynqly never touches it.

  • ✓ Comes working04

    A questionnaire with a mood board

    After booking, clients answer your questions (the location, who’s in it, the feel) and upload reference photos for the mood board.

  • ✓ Comes working05

    A status page for each client

    Clients sign in to see their shoot move from booked to editing to delivered. You move it with one click on your Admin board.

  • ✓ Comes working06

    Your season on a calendar

    Every shoot on your Admin calendar, and an email to you for each booking and each questionnaire that comes in.

  • ✓ Comes working07

    A two-week check-in, on Live

    Two weeks after a booking, an email to you names the shoot, so you can check that the questionnaire and mood board are in. Scheduled emails run on Live, from $8 a month.

See it working

What clients book, and where it stands.

Clients pick a session and a date and pay the deposit. You see the season on your Admin calendar, and each client sees where their photos are.

How do online deposits help a photographer book more shoots?

Fewer emails, more shoots.

Photographers lose bookings in the back and forth: which dates are free, what a session costs, how to pay. A page with open dates and a deposit button ends that thread at the first message, and a date with money on it is a date that stays booked.

The questionnaire saves the other half of the evening. Locations, outfits and mood board photos arrive before the shoot in one place, instead of across a dozen emails the night before.

Which photo sessions sell best from a booking page?

Minis sell fast, events need a talk.

Mini sessions and portraits are the easiest to sell from a page: a fixed length, a fixed price, a date. Weddings and big events usually need a conversation first, so many photographers keep those on an inquiry form and add them as their own session at their own price once the details are agreed.

What it won’t do

It isn’t a photo gallery host: deliver finished photos through the gallery service you use now.

Questions

Photo bookings,
answered.

Can two clients book the same date?No
No. Each date or time slot is held for one booking, even if two clients reach for it at once. Once it’s booked, the date shows as taken.
Can I deliver the finished photos in the app?Not as a gallery
Not as a gallery. Clients see when their photos are delivered, and you send the gallery from the service you use now. Clients can upload mood board photos to you, though.
Can clients pay the deposit and the balance in the app?Both, as set prices
Yes, as two set prices. The deposit holds the date, and you can add a balance payment for each session type at its own price. Each checkout is one fixed amount, so extras agreed on the day are paid the way you take them now.
Can I take wedding inquiries that don’t have a set price?Yes, as an inquiry form
Yes. Weddings and big events can go through an inquiry form with the date, the venue and the guest count. You get each inquiry by email and on your Admin board, reply with your quote, and add it as a session at its own price once it’s agreed. Planning the app is free; building it is real dollars on a receipt, or a fixed price from $29.
