Why this blueprint exists
Bookings have a production phase: Stages cover Inquiry → Booked → Prep → Shoot → Edit → Deliver—not just a sales funnel.
Deliverables vary per shoot: Fields for deliverable type, quantity, and delivery date so you track what's owed—not just the booking.
Payment is tied to delivery: Track retainer, final payment, and whether the client has paid before you deliver the gallery.
Photography CRM templates are either too simple (just a contact list) or too complex (enterprise studio management). Photographers need a pipeline that covers the full arc: inquiry → booking → production → delivery → payment.
A generic CRM stops at 'Closed Won.' Photographers need to track what happens after the booking—prep notes, shoot details, editing status, and gallery delivery.
Payment is also more nuanced. Retainers on booking, final payment on delivery, and the occasional late payer need structured tracking—not a separate spreadsheet.
This blueprint gives you a single board that tracks the full lifecycle of a photography booking, with payment fields wired into the delivery stage.
