Incoming Call...
Client Inquiry
"Hi, I need family portraits next Saturday. Are you available around 10 AM?"
AI Receptionist
"Perfect! I have 10 AM available. That's a 60-minute family session at $350. Should I book that for you?"
✓ Session Booked • Sat 10 AM
You're losing bookings every day your phone goes unanswered. Clients call after hours, no-shows waste your creative time, and you can't keep up. There's a better way.
A mom finds your studio online at 9 PM while planning her family session, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, she's already booked with a studio that answered immediately.
While you're in the middle of a session, three more calls come in. Booking requests, pricing questions, rescheduling—you can't be behind the camera and answering calls. Clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.
You clear your schedule, set up your studio, and wait. They don't show up. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty time slot.
