The product

Here's how it looks for a photographer

The booking page is what a client opens from the link in your bio. Your shoot calendar is where the booking lands by itself. Both sides of one booking.

The booking page — what your client sees
The shoot schedule — what you see
Sound familiar?

Three pains of a photographer

01
You held the date — the client vanished
You turned others away for that Saturday, and the client “changed their mind” the day before. The weekend burned, the studio rent too — and the date can't be resold anymore.
02
Agreeing a session takes a week of DMs
“Which date is free?”, “what about golden hour?”, “how long is a mini?” — the same questions in the DMs every day. While you shoot, the answers wait for hours.
03
Clients don't come back
A family shoot happens once a year — and the client returns only if they remember you. Who shot last autumn and who's due a nudge — chat threads won't show it.
One day

A photographer's day with Domovleno

Not a feature list — what actually happens over a day while you're behind the camera, not in chats.

9:00
The shoot schedule, in your pocket
The day at a glance: a mini session, a portrait, a family shoot. Locations and client wishes — in the card notes.
11:20
A new shoot — by itself, from your bio
A client tapped the link in your bio, picked a shoot and a date — it's already in the calendar. You were chasing the light.
13:00
Reminders went out on their own
Tomorrow's clients got their reminders. Whoever can't make it cancels in advance — and the date can still be saved.
16:40
Reschedules without the back-and-forth
The client moved her shoot to a free date via her own link. The calendar updated, the reminders rescheduled themselves.
20:00
Day closed — the numbers in front of you
Income, shoots and no-shows for the day — in analytics. You can see which shoot formats get booked most.
A sample day

A photographer's day, by example: five sessions instead of DMs

The table shows how different session types — from a mini to a family shoot — fit into one day's schedule without overlapping.

TimeServiceDurationTypical price
9:00Family session1 h 30 min₴3,000–4,000
11:00Portrait session1 h₴2,000–2,800
13:00Mini session30 min₴1,200–1,800
14:30Product/flatlay shoot for a small business1 h₴1,500–2,200
16:30Outdoor couple session1 h 30 min₴2,500–3,500

Durations and prices are illustrative — typical for the niche, not a statistic or a price list. Your own menu will differ; the table only shows how a day lands in the schedule.

What Domovleno does

Shoot booking that works for you

Reminders that protect dates

A confirmation right after booking, then a 24-hour and a 2-hour reminder — email, SMS or messengers. Whoever can't make it reschedules in advance, and the date returns to sale in time.

Payment when the date is booked

Enable online payment — and a date counts as taken only once the session is paid via Ukrainian payment providers. “Hold Saturday, we'll definitely come” stops blocking your calendar. Your acquirer (mono or LiqPay) can issue the fiscal receipt from your own PRRO once fiscalization is set up.

The money goes straight to your account via Ukrainian payment providers — Domovleno never holds it. Your acquirer (mono or LiqPay) can issue the fiscal receipt once fiscalization is set up.

Session booking 24/7

Clients pick a session type, date and time from your bio or site — and see only genuinely free windows. Every session has its own duration and price: mini, portrait, family, wedding day.

Client base and shoot history

Contacts, every past and upcoming session, notes (“shot last autumn, two kids, park location”) — in one card. You see who's due an offer for a new shoot.

Schedule and analytics

Working days, locations as separate services, weekends kept for your own family — one calendar. Analytics shows session counts, revenue and cancellation share by month — on every plan.

From practice

Photographers' questions

Can I take bookings if all I have is Instagram, with no separate website?

Yes. The link in your bio opens the booking page Domovleno creates for you — a separate website isn't required, though a free one comes with the plan too. Clients pick a session, date and time right on the page, and the confirmation arrives immediately. This works on the Free plan.

A wedding shoot takes a whole day. Can the calendar handle that duration?

Yes, you set the service duration yourself — even eight hours. A slot like that blocks the entire day in the calendar so no other session can overlap it. You can add buffer time before and after for travel or gear setup. It works the same on Free and on Pro.

Several photographers shoot at our studio. Does each one see only their own schedule?

Yes, in the team app (Pro) every photographer gets their own login, and the owner decides what each one sees — just their own schedule or the whole studio calendar. At booking, clients pick a specific photographer or "first available." Moving sessions between photographers is a drag-and-drop in the shared calendar.

Can I take a deposit instead of full payment for an expensive wedding shoot?

No, online payment at booking takes the full price of the service — there's no separate partial-deposit mechanism. If you need a smaller amount upfront, set up a service such as “Wedding shoot — deposit” with the same duration as the shoot and the deposit as its price: the client books it instead of the main service and pays you the rest in person or by transfer, outside Domovleno. The money goes straight to your account. Your acquirer (mono or LiqPay) can issue the fiscal receipt from your own PRRO once you link it in the acquirer's cabinet and turn on fiscalization in Domovleno.

I run session packages and gift certificates. Can Domovleno track those?

No, packages, subscriptions and gift certificates aren't in the product, and that's a boundary we don't hide. What you get is fixed-price services, online payment at booking, and a client base with shoot history that shows who's booked with you before. If that kind of tracking matters to you, you'll need to keep it separately for now.

Honestly about scope: what Domovleno doesn't do

Domovleno owns your calendar, not your photographs. There are no galleries, photo picks or delivery of finished shots — you hand over the photos the way you're used to. No editing or cloud storage either. If what you need is order in bookings, paid dates and clients who come back — that works today.

Questions & answers

Photographers' frequent questions

Yes — that's the core scenario. The free plan is enough: a booking page, calendar, client base and confirmations, with nothing to pay. The link in your bio takes bookings while you're shooting.
