Photographer booking software for portrait, family and brand shoots

Photographer booking software pricing: Free or $29.99 a month

Twizzlo Free is $0 a month and free forever, not a trial. It covers the booking page, calendars, client profiles, insights and online payments with tips for up to 150 bookings a month, with email reminders and no SMS. A solo photographer can start free and upgrade only when bookings or SMS reminders call for it.

Business Pro is $29.99 a month per business for unlimited bookings and 50 SMS a month, then $0.03 each, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

On both plans, staff and locations are unlimited, and online payments carry your Stripe processing rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee. Still comparing? Read our photography booking app comparison, or see plans and payment charges.

Photography booking with payment at the moment of booking

Chasing a deposit over a payment app after the date is agreed leaves the session unprotected until the money arrives. A photography booking system that takes payment at booking closes that gap: turn on prepaid bookings for any session type, and the client pays the full session price online through Stripe when they book, so the session is only held once it is paid.

Cancellation handling, custom booking rules and no-show fees support the policy you set, and if a client does not show, you decide whether to keep or refund the payment. Clients can add a tip when they pay online, and you can record manual payments for anything paid another way, so each client's total spend stays accurate. For policy wording, see how to set a no-show charge.

A photography booking app that works in any phone browser

Clients often find a photographer on Instagram and book on their phone. Twizzlo works as a photography booking app that opens in any phone browser, so there is nothing for clients to download. They choose a session, see open dates and times, pay if you require it and get a confirmation by email.

It works as a photographer booking app on your side too: the same calendar opens in your phone's browser between shoots, so you can check the day, see new bookings and block off a date from anywhere. For a booking app for photographers, that is the whole job: one link for clients, one calendar for you, nothing to install on either side.

Reminders go out by email, and by SMS on Business Pro. If plans change, clients reschedule themselves from the booking link, and the booking page only offers times that are still open. Put the link in your Instagram bio, on your website's contact page and on your Google Business Profile, so every inquiry has a next step.

Shooting in more than one city or booking clients in another region? Twizzlo supports multiple time zones.

Photography scheduling for a second shooter or a small studio

When a studio adds an associate photographer or a second shooter, the calendar becomes a staffing job, and session scheduling software has to know who shoots what. Each photographer gets a staff profile, an individual schedule and a calendar view. Assign session types to the photographers who shoot them, set shifts and time off, and use role-based access to decide who can see client details.

Staff availability and utilization in the insights show who is booked and who has room, so the same photographer appointment software works for one shooter or a team of three. Adding a photographer or a second studio location does not change the Business Pro price, and each location gets its own booking link.

A photographer CRM that remembers every client

Every client profile holds the details that make the next shoot easier. Record the location a family liked, the background a company uses for its headshots or the look a brand client wants, and it is there the next time they book.

Repeat client tracking shows who comes back each year for family portraits or a fresh headshot, and new customer tracking shows how many first-time clients your booking link brings in.

Search and filter your client list to find a returning family or brand client, with their visit history and total spend (including tips and the manual payments you record) on the same profile.

A booking site for photographers, without building a website

Many photographers want a photography booking site, not another website project. Your Twizzlo booking page covers the booking part: it lists your session types with prices and durations, shows real-time availability, keeps blackout dates off the calendar and takes payment at booking through Stripe when you turn on prepaid bookings.

Use it as the booking website for photographers who already show their portfolio somewhere else: put the link in your Instagram bio, your email signature, your replies to inquiries and the contact page of your current site. A studio with more than one location gets a booking link per location, and the page works in any phone or computer browser.

It does not build a portfolio site, deliver galleries or send contracts, so keep those in the tools you use now and let the booking page handle sessions, payments and reminders.
