Photographers spend most of their day shooting or editing, not answering messages. But clients who don't hear back quickly move on to the next studio on Instagram.

Squidfy answers package questions from your price list, collects shoot details and keeps a pipeline of bookings, so you can stay focused on the work.

Missed enquiries during shoots. You can't reply mid-session. Package confusion. Clients aren't sure what's included in each package. Delivery status questions. 'When will my photos be ready?'
