Guides / Studio Haven
Free booking software for photographers
Most booking tools charge a subscription before you have earned anything. Here is what photographers actually need from a booking system, and how to get it without a monthly bill.
The problem with generic scheduling
A shoot is only half the job. Delivery, client galleries, and print or file access are where the admin actually lives, and stitching a scheduler to a separate gallery host means two subscriptions and two logins.
What photographers get
- Session packages with deposit on booking and balance before delivery
- Private client galleries with controlled download access
- Gallery delivery tied to the booking, so nothing is emailed manually
- Deposits through Stripe Connect, paid directly to you
- Client portal carrying shoot history and deliverables
- Booking, contract, and delivery in one place instead of three tools
What it costs
Studio Haven is free for the artist. There is no monthly subscription and no card required to start. Clients pay a small fee at checkout, and deposits settle directly into your own Stripe account rather than sitting with a platform. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Try it before you move anything
