Photography booking software for portrait and event photographers
Photographers juggle mini sessions, portraits and events, each with different lengths and prices. Ssesia lets clients choose a session type, pick an open time and pay a retainer in one flow, then keeps the shoot on your calendar and the client in your records.
Set up session types once
- Create a service for each offering, such as a 30 minute headshot, a family session or an engagement shoot, with its own duration and price.
- Add optional add ons to a service so clients can choose extras during booking.
- Buffer and notice settings keep travel and editing time free between shoots.
Retainers through Stripe
Turn on a deposit percentage to collect a retainer when a client books. Card and bank (ACH) payments are supported where Stripe allows; bank payments can take a few days to settle, and Ssesia shows them as processing until Stripe confirms them.
Keep clients organized
Every booking creates or updates a client record with contact details, history and notes. You can also message clients and send invoices from the dashboard.
Your booking page
Your public page shows your services, branding and available times. Share it from your portfolio site, email signature or social profiles.
