For photographers
Mini-sessions, retainers, and galleries next to a book button - without a meeting link that underprices the shoot.
The mess
Inquiries flood DMs. Mini-session days become a spreadsheet. Calendly cannot sell a package of looks or take a deposit that protects the kit day.
With Hacado
Service types for mini, portrait, event. Deposits. A site with portfolio pages. Clients pick a slot that already has a price.
Mini-session blocks with real durationDeposits before the shoot dayPortfolio pages in the same builderGift cards for session vouchersSMS and email remindersYour domain on SoloA shoot is not a 30-minute meeting
Buffers for travel and edit time. Duration that matches the offering. Calendly-style free booking trains clients to ghost; deposits do not.
The portfolio is the funnel
Gallery pages sit next to book. One brand - not Instagram bio → Calendly → Venmo.
Gift the session
Branded gift cards for portraits sell on the site for holidays without handwritten vouchers.
