Getting started with booking in Session

Summary:
Session is the booking platform for photographers where clients actually complete all steps of the booking process while booking. Imagine that. They pick a time, choose their package and any add ons, sign your contract, answer your questions, pay, and later even get their gallery, all inside the same system. No chasing invoices. No manually sending contracts. No manually sending questionnaires. A less than seamless experience for your clients? We shutter at the thought.

Thousands of photographers around the world already use Session to run their minis and full sessions.

What booking in Session looks like

  1. Client visits your Booking Site.
  2. Chooses the mini or session they want.
  3. Picks an available time.
  4. Chooses their package and any add ons you offer.
  5. Signs your contract.
  6. Completes your questionnaire.
  7. Pays.
  8. You see the booking on your calendar.
  9. Boom.

What you can book with Session

Mini sessions
Create a date, set your spots and price, publish, and share. Clients book themselves. Great for fall, Santa, Mother’s Day, or any high demand offer. This is what Session became known for.

Full sessions
Create your ongoing offers such as portraits, seniors, newborn, branding, or weddings. Clients can auto book or submit an inquiry. You set it up once in Manage → Session types.

Manual bookings
If someone booked you in person or through another tool, add that booking to Session so it lives with everything else.

Why this matters

  • Clients finish the entire process on their own
  • You can collect retainers or full fees at booking
  • Contracts and questionnaires are part of the booking flow
  • Gallery delivery is in Session, so there are no scattered links
  • You spend less time following up and more time shooting
