Best Online Scheduling Software for Photographers

Alicia Manzano is a photographer from Salt Lake City, UT. She’s run her business out of her home, where she has a small portrait studio. She also shoots weddings during the spring and summer and handles all her own bookings.

The Problem

Alica has two peak seasons; the fall, when hundreds of students are booking senior photo sessions and the spring, when she spends whole weekends shooting weddings. She found herself taking bookings months in advance from early-bird wedding planners and scrambling to fit last-minute openings for panicked parents. The appointment book she was using was barely up to the task of keeping her schedule organized.

She was spending hours on the phone, flipping through her appointment book to accommodate her clients. Her schedule also made it tough to pencil in time for photographer breaks and travel time when necessary.

The Solution

Alicia needed something that would be simple to use, but could handle the volume of traffic during her peak times and accommodate bookings that came in months in advance. She chose to go with BookedIN because it offered all that, plus a great public booking feature that would allow clients to book photo sessions right from her website.

The Results

Once she was running BookedIN it suddenly got a lot easier to manage her schedule and help her clients. Instead of frantically flipping pages to find an open slot, everything is easily accessible from anywhere she has an internet connection.

She can take bookings as far in advance as people want to make them and can block off time for breaks as she schedules. She’s also seen no-shows drop because the client catalogue keeps all the client info organized, so it’s easier to make reminder calls.
