What it is
A booking system for a photographer is a web app on its own database that turns shoot enquiries into structured records by session type, location and time slot, and tracks each job from request through to delivered. It gives you one clear view of your shooting calendar instead of scattered emails and DMs.
What your photographer booking tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for photographer.
Session type
The kind of shoot (portrait, wedding, product, event) stored with its own length and requirements, so a full-day wedding and a 30-minute headshot book correctly.
Time slot
The reserved shooting block, accounting for golden-hour or studio timing, so two shoots never collide on the same day.
Client record
Name, contact and the brief for the person booking, so enquiries and repeat clients are matched instead of re-typed.
Location
Studio, on-site or outdoor address held on the booking, so travel and setup are planned and two shoots aren't booked in incompatible places at once.
Package / deliverables
What the client is buying (number of edited images, prints, hours) stored on the record so scope is clear before the shoot.
Status
The job stage (enquiry, confirmed, shot, editing, delivered) so your dashboard shows where every project stands, not just the shoot date.
Prep / shot list notes
Free-text on required shots, props or people, surfaced on the booking so nothing is forgotten on the day.
Duration & travel buffer
Shoot length plus setup and travel time, so back-to-back jobs leave room to pack down and move.
What good looks like for photographer
One app, a view for everyone
Photographer
Their shoot calendar, each job's status through editing and delivery, shot-list notes, and travel buffers between sessions.
Client
Confirming their session, seeing what's included in the package, and checking the shoot date and location.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track a shoot all the way from enquiry to delivered gallery?+
Yes. Each job carries a status you move through the pipeline (enquiry, confirmed, shot, editing, delivered), so your dashboard shows post-production progress, not just the shoot date. Everything lives in one database.
Does it take deposits or process payments?+
No. Kleap builds a web app on its own database for scheduling and job records; it does not handle payments. You can record the package and status, but deposits and invoicing happen outside the app.
Can clients enquire and request a date through the app?+
Yes. The web app can show open shoot days and collect an enquiry, which becomes a booking record you confirm. This keeps enquiries out of scattered DMs and emails and in one place.
Can I store a shot list and package details per booking?+
Yes. Each record holds the package, deliverables and free-text prep notes in the app's database, surfaced on the booking so you walk into every shoot prepared.
