📸 AI Receptionist for Photography Studios

Capture Every Lead While You Capture Every Moment

Ava answers inquiry calls, handles wedding consultation bookings, and captures leads while you're fully present behind the lens.

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.

📅

Session & Consultation Booking

Book portrait sessions, engagement shoots, newborn sessions, and consultation calls with real-time availability checks and instant SMS confirmations.

💍

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

Every inquiry that doesn't book immediately gets captured with contact info and session type — so your follow-up outreach converts warm leads into booked sessions.

● 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 — I can 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!
