Booking software for photographers
Lock in shoots, collect deposits, and skip the no-shows
BookAndGo lets clients self-book your sessions online, pays a deposit to secure the date, and answers your photography brief before they arrive. Flat $59/mo, no per-client fees, Australian data residency, and GST tax invoices with your ABN built in.
Features that fit the way you work
Deposits up front
Require a deposit or booking fee the moment a client books so the date is genuinely held. No more pencilled-in shoots that quietly evaporate the week before.
Photography brief intake
A trade-ready intake template captures shoot type, location, deliverables and any creative references before the session — so you walk in fully briefed, not guessing.
Session-type services
Set up portrait, family, branding, newborn or event sessions as distinct services, each with its own duration, price and deposit. Clients pick exactly what they need.
Session packages
Sell mini-session bundles or multi-shoot packages once and let clients redeem each session against the package as they book through the year.
Native AU SMS reminders
Automatic Australian SMS reminders before every shoot, plus an AI web chat on your booking page that answers turnaround and pricing questions while you're editing.
No-show protection
Card-on-file no-show protection means a client who ghosts a confirmed session can be charged your cancellation fee — recovering the time you'd have booked to someone else.
GST tax invoices
Issue compliant Australian GST tax invoices showing your ABN and sequential numbering, emailed automatically the moment a session is marked complete.
Made for every shape of photographers
Portrait & family studios
Publish your session types, take a deposit at booking, and let the photography brief tell you exactly who's in the frame and what they want delivered.
Brand & content photographers
Sell ongoing content packages, let recurring clients self-book their monthly shoot, and capture the brief and shot list before each session.
Event & wedding shooters
Secure the date with an up-front booking fee, gather venue and timeline details through intake, and send GST invoices for the balance after the day.
Frequently asked
Can I take a deposit when a client books?
Yes. Each session type can require a deposit or full booking fee paid via Stripe at the moment of booking, so the date is held the instant the client confirms. The platform fee is just 0.5%.
What does the photography brief intake capture?
You can build a custom intake form from a photography-ready template covering shoot type, location, deliverables, references and anything else you need. Clients complete it after booking, so you're fully briefed before the shoot.
How much does BookAndGo cost?
The Professional plan is a flat $59/mo with no per-client fees. You get unlimited bookings, SMS reminders, the AI web chat, packages, no-show protection and GST invoicing included.
Will my invoices meet Australian GST requirements?
Yes. BookAndGo issues compliant Australian tax invoices with your ABN, 10% GST and sequential numbering, emailed automatically when a session is completed.
Where is my client data stored?
All data is hosted in Sydney, Australia and handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles — it never leaves the country.
Can clients book from my Instagram bio?
Yes. You get a clean online booking page you can drop straight into your Instagram bio link, plus a native iOS app and installable PWA to manage everything on the go.
