Scheduling software built for photographers
Book sessions, take deposits, and protect golden-hour light. Slotly gives photographers and studios a single booking link, automated reminders, and no-show protection — so your photography business stays booked without the phone tag. A sunset shoot only works in a narrow window. Time-of-day availability keeps bookings inside the light you can actually shoot.
What scheduling chaos costs photographers and studios.
Sessions depend on light and location
A sunset shoot only works in a narrow window. Time-of-day availability keeps bookings inside the light you can actually shoot.
Deposits chase themselves
Take the retainer at booking so a canceled wedding consult doesn't cost you a Saturday.
Session types vary wildly
A headshot is 30 minutes; a wedding is all day. Per-type durations and prices keep the calendar honest.
Everything a photography business needs to stay booked.
Time-of-day availability
Offer golden-hour-only slots for portraits and full-day blocks for events.
Deposits & full payments
Collect a retainer or full session fee at booking through Stripe.
Session questionnaires
Capture shot lists, locations, and outfit details before the shoot.
Travel & setup buffers
Build in time to travel to location and set up gear between sessions.
How photographers and studios use Slotly.
- A family books a golden-hour mini-session and pays the deposit in one flow.
- Wedding consults require a retainer so Saturdays don't get ghosted.
- A shot-list questionnaire arrives with the booking confirmation.
Photographers scheduling: your questions answered
Can I limit bookings to certain times of day?
Yes. Define availability windows per session type — golden-hour-only portrait slots, full-day event blocks — so you only get booked when the light and location work.
Can I collect deposits at booking?
Yes. Require a retainer or full payment via Stripe when a client books, protecting high-value session dates from no-shows.
Can I gather session details up front?
Attach a questionnaire to each session type to collect shot lists, locations, and preferences before the shoot.
