A missed session leaves studio time unfilled. Ask for a deposit when clients book, with different rules for a quick headshot or a longer portrait shoot.
- Choose a fixed amount, a percentage or full payment.
- Show clients what they pay today and what is due on the day.
- See deposits paid and balances due alongside each booking.

What kinds of photography sessions can clients book?
Create bookable services for headshots, portraits, family shoots or mini sessions, each with its own price and duration. Clients choose a service and an available time. You can also add shoots arranged directly to your diary.
Can I leave time to prepare and reset the studio?
Yes. Add preparation and clean-up time around each service, so your diary allows for setting up and resetting the studio as well as the shoot itself. Set working hours and block out editing time or other commitments when you need to.
Can clients send inspiration photos before the shoot?
Yes. Once a client has a booking and a OneDiary account, you can exchange messages, reference photos and documents in the app. You can also attach a questionnaire to the service to collect the brief before the session.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Clients can book through your public booking page in their web browser. The OneDiary app is also available for clients to keep all their bookings in one place.
