How a Photography Studio Can Automate Booking, Payments, and Follow-Ups
A founder-style walkthrough that shows the exact setup without replacing your current scheduler.
The Situation
Most studios juggle a mix of website forms, Acuity/Square, and email threads — leaving gaps between inquiry → session → payment → follow-up.
Website contact forms for new inquiries
Acuity or Square to handle scheduling
Manual emails for confirmations and invoices
Different calendars and session types to manage
The Challenge
As bookings grow, admin work grows even faster because the workflow lives across tools.
- •
Manual responses to every inquiry
- •
Back-and-forth emails to confirm session details
- •
Tracking deposits and final payments in email or notes
- •
Remembering post-session follow-ups for galleries/reviews
- •
Managing multiple calendars or session types without a single view
