Give clients a simple way to book consultations, mini sessions and studio shoots online. Micali keeps your availability and essential booking details together without another monthly subscription.
No credit card required. No monthly fees.
Choose a date and time that works for you.
Your portfolio does the hard work of winning attention — but attention fades fast when the next step is unclear. A booking link on your website and social profiles means that the moment someone admires your work, they can act on it, turning a passing “I love this” into a confirmed session instead of a message you answer three days later.
Agreeing a date should not take a week of emails. When clients can see your genuine availability and choose a time themselves, the slow back-and-forth disappears, and enquiries stop waiting until you have finished a shoot to get a reply.
A short booking form tells you what you need to know before the shoot: location, number of people, preferred style, occasion and intended use. For bespoke or weather-dependent work, online booking is best presented as the first scheduling step, with final confirmation to follow — so expectations are clear from the start.
Mini-session days are far easier as an event. Publish a fixed date with defined slots or a capacity, and the system manages the places for you instead of a hand-kept list where two people can claim the same slot.
Finally, your editing and travel days deserve protection. Buffers and blocked periods keep two locations from being booked back to back, and every client detail lives in one place rather than scattered across inboxes. The result is less time arranging dates and more time making images people keep.
Each session can have its own description, duration, questions and availability — so headshots, family shoots and mini-session days are all set up the way you really work.
Built for independent photographers and small studios that want fewer scheduling emails, protected editing days and one clear place for every client detail.

Yes. Publish a scheduled event with defined time slots or a set capacity for a limited mini-session date, and bookings stop automatically once the places are filled. It replaces managing a mini-session list by hand and stops two clients claiming the same short slot.
Yes. Create a dedicated discovery-call or consultation service so couples can book a conversation before you agree on a package. It gives you a structured way to discuss date, venue, coverage and fit, and to confirm the full booking separately once it is right.
Yes. Give each option — a headshot, a portrait session, a family shoot — its own clear description and duration, so clients understand exactly what they are booking and the calendar reserves the correct amount of time for each.
Yes, subject to your rules. For location or weather-dependent work you can explain any special rescheduling policy clearly in the description, so both sides know what happens if a shoot needs to move, and the released time returns to your live availability.
Yes. Use buffers or block unavailable periods so two locations are never scheduled back to back unrealistically. Travel time that is invisible to the client but protected in your calendar keeps your day achievable instead of a rush between venues.
Yes. A studio team can assign services and availability to individual photographers, so clients can book the person they want and each photographer keeps their own schedule without clashes.
Yes. Promote a specific event directly through social media, email or your website, sending people straight to that date’s available slots. It is an easy way to fill a themed or seasonal mini-session day quickly.
No. Core bookings, customers and services are unlimited, so a busy season does not push you onto a paid tier. Optional extras such as SMS reminders or a custom domain are paid only if you choose them.
Not a trial. Not a limited free plan. Online bookings in Micali are free. Only optional premium add-ons may be paid.
Premium add-ons aren't needed for everyday use of Micali. They're for users who want more customization or features with real costs, such as SMS.
No credit card. No monthly fees. No commitment.
