Building Photographer Questionnaires

In photographer mode, forms are tied directly to session types. That means you are not building one giant generic questionnaire. You are building the right questionnaire for the kind of session being booked.

Where to Start

1. Create or open a session type.
2. Go to the form builder from the session type or Forms screen.
3. Build the questionnaire around that exact session.

Best Fields for Photography Workflows

• Session goals
• Location preference
• Date flexibility
• Wardrobe notes
• Shot list priorities
• Family or attendee names
• Accessibility considerations
• Inspiration links
• File upload for reference images

Use Conditional Logic

If a client selects a specific location type, outfit count, or group size, show only the follow-up fields that matter. This keeps the form detailed without feeling bloated.

Contract and Payment Settings

Photographer forms can inherit session type payment settings like retainer requirements. If the session type requires a contract, design your questionnaire so the information gathered earlier makes the contract step easier, not harder.

Recommended Step Structure

1. Client info
2. Session details
3. Preferences and expectations
4. Files or reference uploads
5. Final confirmation

Common Mistakes

• Using the same questionnaire for every session type
• Asking for information that should live in a contract instead
• Forgetting to preview required-field behavior
• Not testing the booking link for that session type after saving
