Stay Organized and Booked During Busy Season
Lauren McConihay • May 1, 2025

When busy season kicks into gear, it’s easy to feel like you’re being pulled in a hundred directions. Inquiries are rolling in, sessions are stacking up, and you’re juggling communication, bookings, payments, and image delivery—sometimes all in the same hour.

That’s where Iris Works comes in. We help photographers like you stay organized, fully booked, and completely in control—even during the most chaotic months of the year.


Streamline Your Booking Process


The first step to staying sane during busy season is making booking easy. With Iris Works, you can create custom online booking calendars for different session types. Clients choose their date and time, sign the contract, and pay the deposit—all in one seamless flow.

No more back-and-forth emails or chasing down paperwork. Your time is valuable. Iris makes sure it’s spent wisely.


Automated Workflows That Do the Heavy Lifting


When your days are packed with shoots and editing, little things can fall through the cracks. Iris Works helps prevent that with automated workflows tailored to each session type.

Set up a workflow to:

  • Send pre-session guides

  • Email reminders and directions

  • Trigger editing or delivery tasks

  • Request reviews post-session

These workflows run behind the scenes so every client gets a polished, professional experience—and you stay on top of your game.

Keep Your Clients Organized, Too


Iris doesn’t just make your life easier—it helps your clients feel confident and taken care of. From the moment they book, they have a clear view of what’s next. No confusion, no missed steps, just a seamless journey from inquiry to final gallery.

Inside your client list, each client has their own profile with session details, signed documents, invoice status, and more—so you’re always prepared.


Time to Breathe Again


With Iris Works as your assistant, you can focus on the parts of your business you actually enjoy. Spend more time with your camera and less time managing spreadsheets, emails, or missed appointments.

Busy season doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With Iris Works, you can handle it all—without burning out.
