Inbound: the customer calls

Fall family and mini-session bookings

The week you announce fall minis, the phone doesn't stop. Every family gets a slot from the times you've opened, hears the session fee and what's included, and has your what-to-wear guide in their texts before they hang up.

When it starts

A family calls about portraits, newborn photos or a fall mini-session day.

What the agent does

Books the slot, explains fee and what's included, texts the location and session guide.

What your team gets

Mini-session days filled and families who arrive ready.

How it works

  1. Hears who's coming

    How many people, kids' ages, a new baby, a grandparent, the dog.

  2. Picks the right session

    A twenty-minute mini for a small family, a full session for three generations, a newborn session timed to the due date.

  3. Books the slot

    From the times you opened on each mini day, with golden-hour slots called out.

  4. Gives your fees

    Session fee, number of edited photos, deposit, and the price of extra images, from your list.

  5. Texts the guide

    Location with parking, what to wear, rain plan, and tips for toddlers.

  6. Fills the cancellations

    A family that cancels opens the slot, and the next family on the list is offered it.

Questions

Can it book newborn sessions?

Yes. It books around the due date and notes to confirm after the baby arrives, the way you schedule newborns.

What if it rains?

It gives your rain plan and, when you call a rain day, can reach every family booked to move them.

Can it sell extra images?

It gives the price of extra images on your list. Choosing them happens in the gallery.
