Tools for photographers

From the shot list to the album.

Every business gets the pipeline, contracts, client portal, marketing and books. A photography business also gets the tools below, switched on the day it signs up.

Family photos in calling order, and the moments not to miss.

Each group is a row: who’s in it, which side, and anything to know, like a grandmother who needs a chair. Your clients add their own groups on their portal.

On the day you tick them off on your phone, with who’s up next.

A coverage timeline with golden hour.

Sunset, golden hour and blue hour, worked out from the venue’s place. The family photos’ time comes from the shot list, and anything outside the booked hours or the light is flagged.

Your clients see their day too, on their portal.

What’s owed after the day.

Sneak peeks, the gallery and the album, each due from your own usual turnaround, with anything late in amber.

The gallery link goes to your clients when you press send, never before.

Due to deliver: a late gallery, a sneak peek due this week, and later deliveries by date

A location book, venue by venue.

Each venue’s spots and their light, what it allows, parking, permits and the rain plan.

Link an event to a venue and it all comes back on that event’s timeline.

Sessions, the team’s brief, and credits.

Engagement shoots, the rehearsal and the morning after, each with its own sunset.

Your second shooter gets their own brief on their phone: call time, where, who to call, what to wear and their shots. And the vendor list for a submission, ready to copy.
