Features · Mini sessions
A whole day of mini sessions from one link.
Set the day and the hours. HeyShutter makes the time slots, takes the bookings and payments, and gives every family their own gallery for delivery day.
Included with booking on Medium Format ($19 a month) and up.
How it works
Mini sessions in 4 steps.
Set the day
Choose the date, the hours, how long each session runs, a gap between sessions and a break.
Add packages
Offer up to three packages, like 10 edited photos or the full gallery, each with its own price.
Share one link
Post it on social, email it to your list, or add the button to your website.
Deliver
Every family already has a gallery inside the event's gallery, ready for your upload.
On their phone
Families book in under a minute.
Open times, taken times and your packages on one page. They pick a spot, sign and pay without making an account.
What you get
Built for the busiest weeks of the year
Holiday minis, spring minis and back-to-school minis book in a rush. HeyShutter holds each spot while a family pays, takes the money up front and keeps a waitlist, so you're not refereeing double bookings in your inbox.
No typing in times one by one. The schedule is built from your hours, session length, gap and break.
Families pay the package in full or a retainer, by card, on the same page.
Attach your agreement and families sign it as part of booking, with no account to set up first.
A spot is held while a family pays, so two people can never take the same time.
Families join the waitlist, and you email the next one with one click when a spot opens.
Each booking gets its own private gallery inside the event, so delivery happens in one place.
Questions
About mini sessions.
Can families book without creating an account?
Yes. They pick a time and a package, add their details, sign and pay. Their account and gallery are made for them.
Can I take a retainer instead of full payment?
Yes. Choose full payment or a retainer for each mini session day.
What happens when every spot is taken?
The page shows a waitlist. When a spot opens, you click Offer a spot and that family gets an email; the first to book gets it.
Is there an extra charge for mini sessions?
No. Mini sessions come with booking on Medium Format at $19 a month and every plan above it.
