Stop piecing together your own shoot-day system.

Pulling off a day of back-to-back sessions usually means building your own system: a booking form, a payment app, a spreadsheet, a clipboard for the line, and a memory card you sort by hand that night. Quick Gallery is that system, already built, so you can focus on giving every client the best possible experience.

1 of 4 · Before the shoot

Fill your time slots before the day starts.

Add slots for one day or a date range, share one booking link or QR code, and families pick an open time. Take a deposit or the full price at booking, paid straight into your own Stripe account. Families get a confirmation and can change or cancel their time themselves.

  • Full times drop off the booking page automatically
  • Walk-ins still check in and fill the gaps
  • No additional fees on your client payments

Know who’s next without shouting across the room.

Families check in by scanning a QR code or at an iPad kiosk. Your Live screen shows who you’re shooting, who’s up next and how long they’ve waited. Each family sees their place in line on their own phone and gets a “you’re up next” text and email when it’s almost their turn.

Text alerts, built in

A text when it’s their turn.

Families can wait anywhere: grabbing a coffee, letting the kids play, or relaxing in the car. When they’re almost up, Quick Gallery texts them, with an email too, so nobody misses their session and you never have to call names across the room.

Tethered or not

Shoot tethered or straight to your card. Same workflow either way.

Tether if you want photos flowing to families while the event is still going. Or shoot to your card the way you always have. Quick Gallery notes when each session starts and ends, so after the shoot both paths land in the same place: one Lightroom collection per family, ready to edit and deliver.

Shoot tethered

Photos upload as you shoot. Send them to families live, or hold them until you’ve edited.

Live delivery if you want it

Shoot to your card

No cables at the set. Bring the card back after the session and import it like always.

Nothing new to carry
After the session, either way

3 of 4 · After the shoot

Open Lightroom to one collection per client.

Every time you start and finish a session, Quick Gallery notes the time. After the shoot, our Lightroom Classic plugin matches each photo’s capture time to the right family and groups them into a collection per client. Anything it can’t place goes to Unsorted for you to drop in.

Questions

Good to know.

More answers in Help →
Do I have to stop using Pixieset, Pic-Time or ShootProof?

No. Quick Gallery sorts your photos into a Lightroom collection per client, and you publish to your host the way you do now.

Do I have to shoot tethered?

No. Shoot to your card and let the plugin sort afterward, or tether if you want live delivery.

Can my assistant help on shoot day?

Yes. They can run check-in on an iPad and the line from a second screen. Separate team logins come with the Studio plan.

Does it work with Capture One?

Capture One can export into Quick Gallery’s watch folder for live delivery. Sorting after the shoot is Lightroom Classic only for now.

What do my numbers include?

Bookings, wait times and payments for every event. Opens and saves count galleries sent through Quick Gallery.

How do families know when it’s their turn?

They get a text and an email when they’re almost up, and they can watch their place in line on their own phone. Pro includes 200 texts a month, and you can add 200 more for $10.

Can guests stop the texts?

Yes. Guests only get texts if they tick “Text me when it’s my turn (and a thank-you after)”, and they can reply STOP at any time. They’ll still see their place in line on their phone and get the email.

Do families need to download an app?

No. Families scan a QR code and everything happens in their phone’s browser: checking in, seeing their place in line, and saving their photos.

Is there an iPhone app?

Yes. Run the line, start and complete sessions, add walk-ins and check the weather from your iPhone. An Apple Watch app shows who’s up next and lets you start and complete sessions from your wrist.

Do you take a cut of client payments?

No. Deposits, session fees and tips go straight into your own Stripe account, and Quick Gallery takes no fee. Stripe’s standard processing fees apply.

What happens after the beta?

Beta testers get Pro free for 60 days, with no card. When it ends, you choose a plan to keep going. Nothing is charged automatically, and your events and settings stay.

Can I cancel or pause?

Yes. Cancel any time in Settings, and your plan runs to the end of the month or year you’ve paid for. Monthly plans can pause for up to 6 months. We don’t refund unused time.

How long are galleries kept?

You choose, from 1 to 30 days. Then the gallery closes and the photos are deleted for good.

Whose name do families see?

Yours. Your logo, studio name and social handles are on every booking page, gallery and email.
