THE PROBLEM

The business side of a shoot

  • Package quotes rebuilt for every inquiry

    Every wedding or headshot inquiry needs the same packages, typed again with this client’s date.

  • Retainers, balances and a spreadsheet

    Who has paid their retainer and who owes the balance before delivery shouldn’t take detective work.

  • Miles to every shoot

    Driving to venues and locations is a deduction many photographers under-claim.

FAQ

Questions photographers ask

Can clients book sessions online?

Not yet. You add sessions to your Intralyn calendar, which checks for conflicts, and send the client a branded confirmation by link.

Can I take a retainer and bill the balance later?

Yes. Record the retainer as a payment on the invoice; the rest of the balance stays open, and the client’s statement and private page show what is due.

Can I deliver galleries through Intralyn?

No. Intralyn handles quotes, invoices, scheduling and books, not photo storage or galleries. Keep using your gallery service and put its link in the invoice note.

Can I save my packages?

Yes. Save each package to your products & services with its price on any plan (Free includes up to 25). Pro and Business can also save whole quotes as reusable templates.

Does it track mileage for shoots?

Yes. Log each trip in the mileage log; Intralyn applies the IRS standard mileage rate and totals your estimated deduction. Billable trips can go straight onto the client’s invoice.
