Challenge
Captured Moments Photography was a talented team drowning in administrative work. The lead photographer spent 20+ hours weekly responding to inquiries, sending quotes, and managing bookings. Despite the effort, many leads went cold due to slow response times, and pricing conversations were awkward and inconsistent. They had no online booking system, their portfolio was hidden on social media rather than their website, and they competed against photographers charging half their rates.
Solution
We built a premium brand with automated booking systems:
Portfolio-First Website: Created a stunning portfolio website organized by session type (family, seniors, weddings, newborn) with clear pricing tiers and easy booking paths.
Automated Inquiry System: Implemented a guided inquiry system that collected session details, date preferences, and package selection before human involvement—pre-qualifying leads automatically.
Online Booking Integration: Added real-time availability and online booking for standard session types, freeing the photographer from scheduling calls.
Premium Positioning: Repositioned from "affordable photographer" to "investment in memories" with pricing that reflected expertise. Created content explaining why professional photography matters.
SEO for Photography: Optimized for "family photographer Austin," "senior portraits," and event-specific searches with location-targeted landing pages.
Referral Automation: Built post-session email sequences requesting reviews and referrals, turning happy clients into marketing.

“I became a photographer to create art, not answer emails all day. PxlPeak gave me my time back—clients book online, pricing is clear, and I only talk to people who are ready to commit. My average session price nearly doubled because the website shows my value before we ever speak. I'm shooting more and stressing less.”
