Nobody hires a photographer from a description. They look, and they decide in seconds. So the site has exactly two jobs: show the work properly, and make booking effortless before they look at the next photographer.
The portfolio is on a platform that compresses the images, the pricing is 'contact for info', and enquiries go to an email checked twice a week. Every friction point loses someone who was ready.
Fast-loading, properly sized, and organised by the kind of shoot someone is looking for.
What's included and roughly what it costs. Hiding pricing filters out fewer bad fits than it loses good ones.
Date, type, location, and budget collected up front so you can answer properly first time.
Finished galleries delivered to clients through your own site, not a third-party link.
Not everything on this list will fit you. The plan decides which ones do.
Delivering through your own branded site instead of a generic service keeps the whole experience yours — and clients share those galleries widely, which sends traffic back to you.
Selling prints from delivered galleries adds revenue after the shoot is done, from a client already looking at the images.
Taking a date and a deposit in one step reduces the gap where someone books another photographer instead.
Model releases and contracts signed online at booking rather than chased later or forgotten entirely.
Free, and yours to keep. Reviewed personally, back to you in 24–48 hours.
