A photographer stopped chasing deposits over text.
JC shoots portraits and events around New York. Bookings came in by DM, deposits came in whenever, and every gallery was hand-delivered. The business worked — the admin was eating the weekends.

Booking lived in three inboxes
Instagram DMs, texts, and email. Double-bookings were a matter of time, and a no-show cost a full shoot day.
- BUILT
A package builder that prices itself
Clients mark the services they want — sports, portraits, event coverage — and the subtotal updates live. No back-and-forth to get a number.
- BUILT
A deposit that holds the date
Once the package is set, a Stripe deposit locks the booking. The date isn't held until the money clears.
- BUILT
An event brief that preps the shoot
A structured intake — event type, venue, coverage hours, even vendor insurance — so JC walks in already knowing the job.
- BUILT
A private gallery, delivered
Finished work lands in the client's own gallery to view, download in full resolution, and order prints — no evening spent on hand-off.
- SHIPPED
Live, with reviews and legal pages
Testimonials, terms, and privacy handled at launch — the things that only matter on the day they matter.
