Booking and scheduling software for photographers, with deposits
A shoot that falls through can cost you a whole day. Sessurely takes a booking deposit up front and charges no-shows and late cancels automatically, so your calendar stays protected. Built for portrait, headshot, and session photographers.
You held the whole day. They booked, then vanished.
You turned down other work to keep their date open, and they ghosted. Sessurely takes a deposit that actually reserves the day and charges late cancels for you, so your calendar is protected. Clients book on a page that shows your work, not ours.

More than no-show protection
Deposits protect the date, but that's only part of what Sessurely handles. Sessurely is the booking app that runs your whole appointment business: your own booking page, a calendar that stays in sync, and a real client book with history, notes, and photos. Add your services and deposits, send intake forms, sell gift cards, take payments, and let reminders and follow-ups go out on autopilot. No-show protection is the standout edge, not the whole product.
You keep what you earn, too. There is no commission on your sessions. Money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and your clients are always yours. The only fee is a 2% no-show-protection fee, capped at $10, on the deposits and no-show fees we process.

Build your booking page
Add your services, choose which ones need a deposit, and set your cancellation window. Already have a client list? Import your contacts from iPhone, Android, or CSV and start booking people you know on day one.
Clients book and add a card
They pick a time, see the deposit and policy up front, and add a card, stored securely by Stripe, never by us. Afterward, a private link lets them confirm, reschedule, or cancel within your policy, add the session to their calendar, and leave a review once it's done.
Sessurely runs the rest
Reminders go out, no-shows are charged, and follow-ups are drafted. You just approve.
Questions from photographers
Can I require a deposit to hold a shoot date?+
Yes. Set a deposit on any service; the date isn't held until the client pays it, so casual bookings don't block your calendar.
Does it handle travel or on-location shoots?+
Yes. Add the location to the booking; Sessurely shows it on your schedule and can estimate drive time between in-person sessions.
