Session booking & deposits
Packages, live availability, travel fees and deposits taken at booking, synced to Google Calendar.
Photography software: client galleries, bookings & prints
Photographers: galleries that sell prints. Shoot more, admin less.
Sessions get booked by DM. Contracts bounce around by email. Galleries sit on a platform you pay for every month and print orders arrive as a screenshot that says "can I get this one bigger?". We build booking, contract, gallery and print systems for photographers in your own brand, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for photography software that books the session, delivers the gallery and sells the prints?
A photography business is a booking desk, a contracts office, a delivery service and a print shop run by one person with a camera bag. Most photographers glue it together with a CRM, a gallery platform, a payment link and a lot of inbox time. Every shoot means copying the same client details into four places and chasing the same three things: the contract, the balance and the selections.
Wollopit builds custom photography software around how you actually shoot. Clients book a session and pay the deposit in one go. The contract signs itself into the booking. The gallery lands on your own domain with favourites for proofing and a print store inside it. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones costing you money and look after the lot on our own servers so you can get back behind the lens.

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your photography business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We sit with you through a booking, a delivery and an order, then work out where the hours actually go.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your packages, contracts, galleries, print products, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before your next busy season.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things photographers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can clients order prints straight from their gallery?
Yes. Your print sizes, canvases, frames and albums sit inside the gallery at your prices. Orders come through ready to send to your lab.
Will the galleries be in my own branding?
Yes. They live on your own domain with your logo, fonts and colours. Clients never see another company's name.
Can it handle proofing and selection limits?
Yes. Clients favourite and comment on photos up to their package limit. Extra images can be bought on the spot and you get one tidy list for editing.
I already use Studio Ninja or Pixieset. Do I have to switch?
No. If a platform is doing its job we build around it and connect to it. If it's costing you more than it should, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can it run school or sports photo days?
Yes. Families get an access code for their child's photos and order online. You get a production list sorted by class or team.
How much does a photography system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like a booking page or mini session system can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers with your galleries backed up and kept secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most photographers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
