A Scheduling Day for Photographers: Before & After
Without SchedulingKit, a photographer spends their Sunday evening cross-referencing a spreadsheet of inquiries, manually sending deposit invoices, and replying to DMs asking 'what times do you have open?' — losing at least one lead who booked a competitor while waiting. With SchedulingKit, each session type has its own booking page with pricing, questionnaires capture shot lists and location preferences at booking, deposits are collected instantly via Stripe, and calendar blocking prevents double-bookings on wedding days.
