Ask about a session

The workspace

Publish, review, then send three session options.

FrameAhead keeps your published service, inquiries, and private proposal links in one photographer workspace.

Publish your portrait service

Share your studio name, service, location, starting-price guidance, and session description on a public page.

Review the request before offering times

The standard inquiry asks about timing, participants, contact details, and what would make the session successful.

Send a proposal and collect the deposit

Choose three session options and a deposit amount, then send the private link. The client pays you directly.

Approved times only

Offer only the times you approve.

FrameAhead never exposes your full calendar. You choose each time and location in a client proposal.

  1. Publish your service

    Add your studio name, service, location, description, and starting-price guidance.

  2. Review the inquiry

    Read the client's timing, participant count, contact details, and session request.

  3. Create session options

    Choose three times, a location for each, a deposit amount, and an expiration.

  4. Share the private link

    Copy the proposal link, send it yourself, and collect the deposit to your bank.

Client payments

The deposit goes to you.

Send a deposit with the private proposal. The money goes straight to you, never through FrameAhead, and pays out to your bank.
