Can clients send mood boards or references through WhatsApp?

Clients can send images and references directly in the WhatsApp conversation. The AI acknowledges them and attaches the context to the booking in your dashboard, so you have the mood board alongside the booking details when you prepare for the shoot.

What if I need to reschedule a session?

Reschedule requests come into your dashboard as a flag. You confirm the new date and the AI sends the updated confirmation to the client. The AI handles the communication so you don't have to manage that back-and-forth manually.

📸 For Photographers & Videographers

Book every shoot on WhatsApp.
Your camera in hand, not your phone.

Q: Can I set different pricing for weekend or peak-season shoots?

Yes. You can add weekend or seasonal pricing as separate catalog items — for example, 'Weekend Portrait Session' at a different rate — and the AI will present and book the correct item based on the date the client requests.

Your AI assistant handles every session inquiry on WhatsApp — books the shoot, collects brief details, sends reminders, and logs everything in your dashboard. No more missed inquiries while you're mid-shoot.

The daily struggle

Sound familiar?

You're building a photography business, not managing a call centre.

📷

You're in the middle of a shoot when three clients message asking about availability. You can't stop to reply. By the time you're done editing, two of them have booked someone else.

📋

Shoot details are scattered across 20 different WhatsApp threads — date, location, number of subjects, style references. You spend 20 minutes before every shoot piecing together what was agreed.

🚫

A client shows up unprepared because they never got a shoot brief or directions. The first 15 minutes of every shoot are admin. That's billable time you're giving away for free.

🌙

Couples inquire about wedding packages late at night when the date is top of mind. You see it the next morning. Their preferred date is still open, but they've already moved on.

How ElfClick works

Your booking desk, open while you shoot

Three steps and every inquiry is handled — automatically.

Build your session menu

Add your session types (portraits, engagements, weddings, events, corporate), pricing, durations, and deposit requirements. Set your advance notice policy and cancellation terms. ElfClick enforces every rule automatically.

Connect your WhatsApp Business number

Guided setup in under 10 minutes — free setup assistance included. Clients keep messaging the same number they always have. Nothing changes for them; everything changes for you.

AI collects brief, books shoot, sends prep notes automatically

The AI asks for shoot type, date, location, number of subjects, and any references — confirms the booking, requests the deposit if required, and sends your client prep notes automatically. Your dashboard shows every shoot in one clean view.

Questions

Photographer FAQ

Can ElfClick handle deposit collection for photography sessions?

Yes. You set a deposit rule in Business Policies — for example, "wedding shoots require a 25% deposit." The AI communicates this to the client during booking and flags when a deposit is required before you confirm. You handle payment through your usual method (e-transfer, Stripe, etc.); ElfClick manages the communication so the expectation is set before you even look at the booking.

Can clients send mood boards or reference images through WhatsApp?

Yes. Clients can send images directly in the WhatsApp conversation. The AI acknowledges them and the context is attached to the booking in your dashboard. When you open the booking before the shoot, you have the mood board alongside all the other details — no hunting through chat history.

What if I need to reschedule a shoot?

Reschedule requests come into your dashboard as a flag. You confirm the new date from your end, and the AI sends the updated booking confirmation to the client — handling the communication for you. This works both ways: if a client requests a reschedule via WhatsApp, the AI captures it and brings it to your attention without you needing to monitor every message.

Can I set different pricing for weekend or peak-season shoots?

Yes. Add weekend or seasonal pricing as separate catalog items — for example, "Weekend Portrait Session" at $250 vs "Weekday Portrait Session" at $200. The AI presents the correct pricing based on the date the client requests and books the right item automatically. No manual price-checking needed on your end.
