Can I offer short passport photos and long family shoots together?

Yes. Each package has its own duration. A passport photo might take a short slot while a family shoot blocks a longer stretch, and the system only offers times that fit.

How do I stop clients from booking and not showing up?

Turn on a Mobile Money deposit for the packages that take the most preparation. The client pays when booking, and an SMS reminder goes out before the shoot.

Are there fees on payments?

The studio pays nothing to take bookings. When a client pays cash on the day of the shoot, there is no fee. If the client sends a deposit or the full package fee through Mobile Money while booking, AyaBookings deducts 5% of that payment.

Can clients book through WhatsApp?

Yes. Clients can book on WhatsApp, or you can send them your booking link when they ask about available dates.

Can I assign shoots to different photographers?

Yes. Add each photographer with the packages they shoot and the days they work. Clients see times based on who is free.

Can I manage it from my phone during a shoot?

Yes. Between setups you can open AyaBookings for Business on your phone and see who is next, which package they booked and whether their deposit is in.

Photo Studio Booking App in Ghana

A photo studio sells a room, a photographer and an hour, and all three have to be free at the same time. Birthday shoots cluster around weekends, graduation season brings a rush of gown portraits, and passport photos arrive in a steady trickle all week. When clients book through Instagram DMs, it is easy to promise the same backdrop at 11am to two different families. AyaBookings lets studios in Osu, Labone, Haatso, Tema or Kumasi's Asokwa list each package with its length, attach the photographers who shoot it, and let clients choose an open time. A Mobile Money deposit can secure longer shoots, and clients get an SMS reminder so they arrive dressed and on time. You manage bookings, client details and your photographers' days in the AyaBookings for Business app. Taking bookings is free; cash on shoot day carries no fee, and 5% applies to payments clients make through Mobile Money.

Why Ghana businesses choose AyaBookings

Studio time is booked by package length, so a two-hour family shoot does not overlap the next client's portrait.
A Mobile Money deposit holds the slot for themed or long shoots where you prepare the set in advance.
Photographers have separate schedules, which helps when one shoots maternity work and another handles corporate headshots.
SMS reminders give clients a nudge so they arrive with outfits ready and the shoot starts on time.
Client records show past shoots, which makes repeat birthday or anniversary sessions easy to follow up.
