As easy to use as

A littleless admin.
Clients and projects
Follow each job from inquiry through booking, editing, and delivery. The project lifecycle is built in, with contract and payment progress tracked separately. There are no pipelines or stages to set up.
- Contacts
Save contact details, notes, and client history so you have the context for your next conversation.
- Projects
Review jobs in a table, board, or calendar. Find inquiries that need a reply, missing signatures, and payments still due.
- Client portal
Give clients a portal to find their messages and documents.
Booking, contracts, and payments
Let clients choose a time, sign, and pay in one booking flow. Keep interest when sessions fill up, and make your offers easy to use.
- Services and mini sessions
Offer your services, packages, and mini sessions through a booking page, with contracts and payments built in.
- Waitlists
A full mini session doesn’t have to mean a lost booking. Let clients join a waitlist, then offer them a spot when one opens up.
- Automatic discounts
Create offers that apply automatically when a booking qualifies. Your clients get the right discount without a code to remember.
Tasks and fulfillment
Know what’s waiting, what you’re working on, and what’s ready to deliver. Keep the work after the shoot as easy to follow as the booking itself.
- Automatic fulfillment tasks
LYGHTBOX can create fulfillment tasks automatically when work starts, linked to the project or booking they belong to. No automation rules to build.
- Editing and delivery at a glance
Track your work on a task board, with due dates and project details close at hand. See what needs your attention without keeping a separate list.
- Galleries — coming soon
Client galleries are on the way, bringing photo delivery into LYGHTBOX.
Email campaigns
Send newsletters and session announcements without another piece of software. The essentials are here, with more campaign features on the way.
- Newsletters from LYGHTBOX
Invite subscribers back for their next session or share what’s new.
- A simple editor
Put together a good-looking email with your logo, colors, and message. Keep it personal without spending the afternoon on the design.
- Send now or schedule ahead
Send when your message is ready, or choose a date and time for it to go out. Get your next announcement ready before the busy week starts.
Reports

See where your contacts and inquiries came from. Get a clearer picture of how people find your photography business.
