Shoots with deposits

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 duration

Deposits before the shoot day

Portfolio pages in the same builder

Gift cards for session vouchers

SMS and email reminders

Your domain on Solo

A 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.

FAQ

Multi-hour events?

Create a longer service duration and buffers. Or book by hand after a consult.

Second shooter?

Studio seats if they need their own login and calendar.

Why not Calendly?

No portfolio site, weak deposits story, no gift cards. See Compare vs Calendly.
