What is the Booking System?

Professional scheduling, built for photographers

The booking system is how clients find your availability and schedule sessions with you. It replaces the back-and-forth emails, DMs, and phone calls with a clean, professional experience that works around the clock.

How it works

You define the services you offer, including session types like portraits, weddings, headshots, or mini sessions. Each service has its own duration, pricing, and availability rules. Clients visit your booking page, choose a service, pick a date and time, and confirm. You get notified instantly.

What you can do

  • Create service-based sessions with custom pricing, durations, and descriptions
  • Set your availability by day of the week, specific dates, or time blocks
  • Offer add-ons like extra hours, second shooters, or print credits that clients can select during booking
  • Add buffer times between sessions for travel, setup, and breakdown so you're never rushed
  • View everything on a calendar with day, week, and month views to see your schedule at a glance
  • Send automated confirmations so clients immediately know their session is locked in

Why it matters

Every hour you spend coordinating schedules over email is an hour you're not shooting or editing. The booking system handles the logistics so you can focus on your craft. Clients get a polished, self-service experience that makes your business look established and organized, even if you're just starting out.

How it connects to everything else

When a client books, creavio automatically creates a client record in your CRM (or links to an existing one), blocks your calendar, and can trigger workflows like sending a contract or questionnaire. It's the starting point of your entire client experience.
