How do I run a mini session booking day?

A mini session day is really a scheduling problem dressed up as a photography one. You have a fixed window, say a Saturday from 9 to 3, and you need to slice it into slots, usually 15 to 30 minutes each, and let clients claim them without you managing it by text.

Publishing the slots online and letting clients book themselves removes the back and forth that eats your week before the shoot even happens. Requiring payment or a deposit at booking also cuts down on no-shows, since a mini session slot that sits empty for 20 minutes is a real cost on a day with a fixed number of slots.

After the day, having a clear system to get each family or client their gallery quickly keeps the whole thing feeling organized rather than chaotic.

Turbo Link's online booking with instant slots, deposits, and galleries covers each piece of this without needing a separate signup sheet.
