# How to associate a viewing session with a shoot?

Many photographers take advantage of viewing sessions to **sell additional products** related to their shoot. Find out how to do this in Fotostudio.

There are two ways to proceed:

# 1. Create an appointment

You can simply create an appointment with the date of the viewing session. To do this, go to the contact's file, tab _"Agenda"_, then click the `Add an appointment` button.

At this location, you can decide to send an automatic reminder email the day before the appointment.

||| The disadvantage is that it will not be easy to sell products in this way.

# 2. Create an associated shoot

The advantage is that you can have a quote and invoices for your products in this new shoot, as well as a specific workflow.

### How to do it?

First, you need to create a specific type of shoot for your viewing sessions in [Settings > Data > Types of shoot](https://www.fotostudio.io/app/project_types) with the parameters you wish.
To learn more, see the article [What is a type of shoot? How to set default settings?](/en/article/7xvi8u/).

Then, in the file of a shoot, you will find the button `Add an associated shoot` that will allow you to create the viewing shoot by selecting the correct type of shoot. Remember to uncheck the option _"Use the main shoot for the contract and billing"_ so you can create quotes and invoices in this new shoot.
To learn more, see the article [How to create shoot packages? How to use associated shoots?](/en/article/te3jpb/).
