Session
Your photography business, beautifully simple
Session is a booking and client management platform for photographers that brings booking, payments, contracts, questionnaires, and client galleries into a single flow. Clients can complete signing, answering questions, and paying during the booking process itself, reducing the back-and-forth of email chains and separate tools.
The platform includes a branded booking site with mini and full session support, packages, add-ons, coupons, gift cards, and premium or reserved spots. Payments run through Stripe, Square, PayPal, and Venmo, with online, offline, and partial payment options plus automated invoices. Management tools cover email automation, workflows, a session board, notifications, reminders, and real-time analytics dashboards. Galleries are built into bookings and support digital delivery, upselling, and a sneak peek builder. Integrations include Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Flodesk, and Mailchimp, alongside a mobile app.
Session is aimed at photographers managing varied session types from minis to weddings. It is packaged as a single subscription with unlimited sessions and bookings, available monthly or annually, with a 14-day free trial requiring no credit card. Gallery storage is included at a base tier, with additional storage available for a separate monthly fee.
