Simplify How You Manage Your Business

Running a photography business is more than just capturing great shots — it’s a full-time operation. Between sending invoices, handling contracts, keeping track of appointments, managing client galleries, and staying organized, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

But what if you could simplify it all — without hiring a full-time assistant?

That’s where tools like Pixieset Studio Manager come in. It’s an all-in-one business management platform made specifically for photographers and creatives who want to spend less time on admin work and more time doing what they love.

Let’s break down how using a system like Pixieset Studio Manager can bring structure, clarity, and ease to your workflow.

Why Simplicity Matters

When your systems are scattered, spreadsheets for tracking, email for communication, and random files for contracts, you lose time, energy, and sometimes even clients.

A simple, streamlined setup means:

  • Less back-and-forth

  • More bookings

  • Faster payments

  • Fewer missed opportunities

  • A more professional client experience

You need tools that actually work for you, not the other way around.

What Pixieset Studio Manager Can Do for You

1. Online Booking Made Easy

Clients can book you directly online — no more confusing email chains. With Pixieset’s built-in scheduling feature, you can set your availability, session types, and prices. Your clients see your calendar, book a session, and everything is automatically added to your dashboard.

Pro tip: Pair booking with automated emails to remind your clients before their shoot — no manual follow-ups required.

2. Contracts and Invoices in One Place

Forget chasing down signatures and payments. With Studio Manager:

  • Send contracts digitally

  • Use templates that you can customize

  • Collect e-signatures instantly

  • Invoice with clear due dates and reminders

  • Accept payments online (credit cards, PayPal, etc.)

All documents are tracked and stored in one place, so you always know what’s been sent, signed, or paid.

3. Client Questionnaires and Forms

Want to send a pre-shoot questionnaire? Need client info for a wedding or branding session? Pixieset lets you build branded forms and send them with just a few clicks.

No more using Google Forms or sending plain emails. Everything looks professional and keeps your brand consistent.

4. Automated Workflow & Communication

With Studio Manager, you can build workflows that automatically trigger the next step in your client journey.
For example:

  • New client books → They get a welcome email

  • One week before the shoot → A prep checklist is sent

  • After shoot → An invoice is delivered

You can finally stop remembering everything manually and let your system handle it.

5. Seamless Integration with Pixieset Galleries

If you’re already using Pixieset for image delivery, this is a game-changer. Studio Manager is built right into your existing Pixieset account. No need to learn new software or juggle logins — everything is under one roof.

That means:

  • Your brand stays consistent

  • Clients move smoothly from inquiry → booking → gallery delivery

  • You look and feel professional at every touchpoint
