Photographers

The mini session signup form for photographers

Forty sessions on one Saturday, eight time slots, five families each. Families pick a slot, the full ones grey out, and you confirm from the CSV in the order they came in. The DMs stop.

The problem

What goes wrong for photographers

Instagram is the booking system

You post the date, get 90 DMs for 40 slots, and reply to each with the times left while the times change.

The 10:30 gets booked twice

A Google Form does not know a slot is taken. Someone gets double-booked every season.

A new form every season

Fall minis, spring minis, holiday minis. Each one is a new form, a new link, and a new sheet to reconcile.

Why Unwaited

Built for this line, not a generic form

  • A Time slot field with a cap per slot, enforced under the same lock as the position number, so two families never get the last 10:30.
  • A total cap as a backstop and a form that reads as full when it is gone.
  • Serif type, a warm background, and your accent color, set once. The hosted link goes in your bio.

FAQ

Questions

Can families pay the session fee here?

No. Unwaited does not take payments. Send an invoice or a checkout link when you confirm the slot.

Does it email the confirmation?

Joiners get an automatic email with their number and a status link. Details like the location go out from your inbox, or as the note on the "your turn" email.

Can I reuse the list next season?

Yes. Change the name and the slot labels, remove or keep the old entries, and the link stays the same.
