Built for wedding, event, product and commercial photographers who bill a deposit then a balance
The booking grind
Holding dates, chasing releases, and a balance that's still unpaid when the gallery's ready.
A 'booked' date that isn't
You hold the date on a verbal yes, turn away other inquiries, then the client goes quiet, and you never collected a deposit.
Releases unsigned on shoot day
You're setting up lights while the shoot contract and model release are still sitting unsigned in someone's inbox.
The balance vanishes after delivery
The gallery's delivered, the client's delighted, and the final payment quietly slips for weeks while you chase it.
Galleries lost in expiring links
WeTransfer links expire, Dropbox folders go stale, and clients keep emailing to ask for the files one more time.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
No migration project, no five separate tools. Set it up once and run the whole client relationship from one place.
Quote the shoot and lock the date
Send a branded proposal or a deposit invoice up front. The date isn't held until the deposit lands, so no more turning away work for a ghost.
Get contracts and releases signed
Send the shoot contract and model/usage release with fields already placed and signer roles set. They e-sign before you pick up a camera.
Deliver, then collect the balance
Drop the gallery in the client's private portal, send the balance invoice, and get paid by card, bank or crypto, all reconciled on one ledger.
