For photographers

The CRM for photographers who can't reply mid-shoot

Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for photographers, with one AI assistant, Hiro. It drafts fast replies to new inquiries, nudges unsigned bookings, writes and sends invoices for deposits and final balances, and keeps past clients warm for the next session. Contacts, tasks, notes, email, and a booking page all live in one place. You approve every message. Free for 250 contacts, no card.

The photographer problem

Inquiries arrive while you are shooting, and couples book the first photographer who responds like a human. By the time you are out of the golden hour and back at your phone, the date is taken and so is the client.

The rest of the leak is money and memory: the deposit that needs chasing before you will hold the date, the final balance nobody enjoys asking for, and the past clients who would book again every year if anyone reminded them you exist.

What Hiro can do while you run the camera

Hiro is one assistant inside the app. On a photography desk it can:

  • Draft a fast, warm reply to a new inquiry so a slow email never costs a booking.
  • Write a package proposal, then draft a gentle nudge on day 3 and a firmer one on day 7 if it goes unsigned.
  • Write and send invoices for deposits and final balances, then draft reminders on the overdue ones.
  • Draft notes to past clients: the family due for fall photos, the couple coming up on an anniversary.
  • Build a simple booking page or offer form so leads schedule themselves.
  • Turn an email into tasks, so shot lists and requests stop living in your head.

A week with Orbit as a photographer

Monday is an edit day. Two inquiries come in while you cull a wedding, and Hiro has a reply drafted for each, ready to send from your phone. Tuesday: it drafts a nudge on the couple sitting on your package proposal since Friday.

Wednesday: a mini-session books itself through your booking page. Thursday: a drafted reminder collects the final balance before Saturday's shoot, so you never have the money talk in person. Friday: Hiro drafts a note to last year's elopement couple about an anniversary session. You approve it from the couch.
