What is a shoot type? How to set default settings?

Shoot types represent the different types of services you offer to your clients: wedding, newborn, boudoir, corporate, etc. They help you navigate among your various shoots and apply default settings.


When you create a shoot in Fotostudio, you must always associate it with a type. This shoot type will define different behaviors for the shoot.


For example:

  • The rates that can be used for this shoot
  • The default contract to use


Creating a shoot type


You have the option to create and manage your different shoot types in Settings > Data > Shoot Types.


Managing your shoot types


Configuring default settings


A shoot type is represented by a name and a color, so that your schedule is as readable as possible.


Editing a shoot type


When you create or edit a shoot type, you can customize these different settings:


The contract


This contract can easily be signed online by your client.


You can choose to use a single contract for all your shoot types, different contracts, or no contract.


General Terms and Conditions


They are not mandatory because the contract provided for free by Fotostudio automatically includes the general terms and conditions of sale.


If you choose GTC, they will be automatically inserted into your quotes and invoices for this type of shoot.


The payment plan


Which allows you to define how you wish to bill a shoot.


By default, Fotostudio proposes 30% deposit and 70% balance. You can create and modify your payment plans in Settings > Modules > Payment Plans.


To learn more, see the category Payment Plans.


The workflow


Workflows allow you to automate the sending of emails (session reminder, thank you, invoice, questionnaire, etc.) and to schedule tasks.


To learn more, see the category Workflows


The default address


Which will be used for any new shoot of this type that you create. And it will therefore be included in the contract.


Useful for sessions held in the studio.


Other options


  • Automatically validate a shoot: allows you to choose when you want the shoot to change from the status "Pending" to "Confirmed".


  • Enable online payment: allows you to activate or deactivate online payment for this type of shoot.
