Sound Familiar?

Every photographer deals with these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

📸

Calls Interrupt Active Shoots

You're in the middle of a golden hour portrait session. Your phone rings. You can't answer. That wedding inquiry goes to a competitor who picks up.

💍

Wedding Season Inquiry Overflow

January through March, newly-engaged couples flood photographers with inquiries. You can't respond to all of them fast enough, and the ones who don't hear back within hours move on.

💬

Repetitive Package Questions

'How many hours do you shoot?' 'Do you include edited photos?' 'What's your rush delivery fee?' Answering the same questions on every inquiry call wastes hours every week.

📅

Availability Checks Take Forever

Manually checking your calendar, going back and forth on email and phone to confirm dates: session booking coordination takes time away from actual photography.

How Ava Helps Your Photography Business

Purpose-built for wedding, portrait, family, and commercial photographers across Canada.

📞

24/7 Inquiry Answering

Ava answers every call while you shoot, capturing lead details, answering package questions, and booking consultations without you interrupting a session.

📅

Wedding Inquiry Handling

Ava qualifies wedding leads: venue, date, guest count, style preferences, budget range, and books discovery consultations. You speak to serious leads only.

📋

Package & Pricing Q&A

Walk every caller through your packages, what's included, album options, digital delivery timelines, and travel fees: professionally and consistently every time.

🔔

Session Reminders

Automated SMS reminders before portrait sessions and consultation appointments. Include location, what to wear, and preparation tips: reducing no-shows and improving client experience.

📊

Lead Capture & Follow-Up

● Live Call

Caller

Hi, I just got engaged last weekend and I'm starting to look at photographers. Are you available for weddings?

🤖

Congratulations on your engagement! I'd love to find out if we're a good fit. Do you have a wedding date in mind yet?

Caller

We're thinking July 19th next year.

🤖

July 19th. Let me check on that date. How many guests are you expecting, and do you have a venue booked yet?

Caller

About 120 guests. We're looking at a venue in Muskoka.

🤖

Muskoka weddings are absolutely beautiful. For a Muskoka wedding with 120 guests, you'd likely want a full-day coverage package. Would you like to book a 30-minute consultation call to go through packages and see if the style is right for you?

Caller

Yes, that would be perfect.

🤖

Wonderful. I have availability this Thursday at 6 PM or Saturday at 11 AM. Which works better for you and your partner?

Caller

Thursday at 6 PM.

🤖

Booked! Can I get your name and best email for the calendar invite and consultation prep details?

Caller

Sophie Lafleur, sophie.l@gmail.com.

🤖

Perfect, Sophie. You're booked for Thursday at 6 PM. I've sent a confirmation to your email. So excited for you, congratulations again!

Every January, your inbox and voicemail fill with newly-engaged couples. Ava handles all inbound calls simultaneously: qualifies each inquiry, books consultation calls, and captures leads you can't speak to right away. You start the year with a full consultation calendar.

Mid-Shoot Lead Capture

You're photographing a newborn session in someone's home: phone off, fully present. Three calls come in. Ava answers all three, captures each lead with their session type and date preference, and books two consultations. You finish the session and check your messages to a full pipeline.

Grad Season Booking Surge
