Priced and booked

The session has a price before the family messages you

Your mini, standard and extended tiers each carry a fixed price on your booking page, so a family locks the next real golden hour slot at 10pm without waiting on a reply. The one-off custom shoot comes through as a request instead.

Scheduled and dispatched

A day that stays on one side of the city

Every booked session lands on your routed day, so at-home newborn shoots and park sessions sit near each other instead of in three corners of town. On Free you drag each shoot into the gap yourself; on Pro the day rebuilds itself around what you already have on.

A day with 3 stops drawn on a map and listed in driving order, with the travel time between each, ordered to cut backtracking between jobs.

On the day

Work the light, from first shoot to last

The day laid out in driving order, so you clear the Randwick, Centennial Park and Bronte sessions in the sequence that adds the least driving between them. Mark each one on the way, on site and done, and the reminder to the next family sends itself.

An extended family session quote, itemised and ready to send.

Get paid

Extended session quote to booked shoot, signed online

Itemise the session, the edited gallery and the album, and the moment the family signs it becomes a booked shoot. Take a deposit up front so the sunset slot has weight behind it, or send a payment request once the gallery is ready.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for portrait & family photography businesses

Sessions priced as tiers, booked as slots

Set up your offer the way clients already think about it, a twenty minute mini, the standard hour, the extended session for the family that flies in once a year. Each one carries its own duration and fixed price on your page, so a mother planning around nap time books the right session at 10pm without waiting for you to reply.

Golden hour is inventory, guard it

Your weekly hours can follow the light, late afternoons in the warmer months, earlier in winter, weekends loaded because that is when families are free. When a wedding takes a Saturday or school holidays take a fortnight, a date override pulls those days off the page entirely, and nobody books a session you were never going to shoot.

A deposit keeps the 6pm slot serious

Sunset does not reschedule, so the booking should not evaporate either. Take a percentage or a fixed amount through Stripe the moment the family books, and the slot has weight behind it. If plans genuinely change, drag the session to a new time on your calendar and the deposit simply travels with the booking. Card payments sit on the Pro plan at a flat 3%.

Newborns at home, without a day of freeway

At-home newborn sessions put you on the road, and Bookables treats that like the mobile work it is. Set your service area by radius, postcodes or a drawn map, and the calendar offers each family the times that add the least driving to what you already have on. Two home sessions and a park shoot can share one side of the city instead of three corners of it.

Common questions.

Yes. Your page lists each session tier with its length and price, shows only the slots you truly have open, and sends a confirmation email as soon as the booking lands.

Take a deposit at booking, a percentage or a fixed amount through Stripe, and back it with the reminder email that goes out 24 hours before the session. Families with money down arrive.

Block them with a date override and they vanish from your page. Your weekly pattern handles the regular rhythm, overrides handle everything life throws at it.

Yes. If nothing on the page fits, they send a request with their preferred times and what they have in mind, and you shape the session with them directly.

Nothing on the Free plan, which is free with up to 200 bookings a month and no per-booking fees. Pro brings card payments at a flat 3% when deposits matter to you.
