Booking...
First come, first served. Never double book again
Mini sessions can get competitive, especially with limited time slots. With Session, once a client has begun booking, we reserve that spot for up to 15 minutes or until they are done booking. That way, nobody can take that spot from them.

"Before Session, I dreaded the thought of booking any type of group session like Mini Sessions and Mentor Sessions. All of the booking systems I had used before just weren’t cutting it. Not only was it time-consuming to set up each session, their user experience for clients just wasn’t great. Enter Session. A complete game-changer for my business! It’s incredibly user-friendly, has a beautiful interface, and makes setting up and booking sessions so effortless! I truly can’t recommend it enough for every photographer, regardless of the type of sessions you book!"
