Raw light goes in.
A studio comes out.

One connected workspace for the job — booking, crew, the call sheet, the client gallery, and delivery. It brings together the parts studios currently patch across calendars, spreadsheets, gallery tools, and group chats, with the studio brand in front. Built and tested inside a five-studio operation in New York.

The calendar runs the front desk.

Clients book the rooms and times you choose to publish. Live room schedules and connected calendars meet in one view, while rates and booking rules stay with the studio. During the pilot, we configure the details with you and verify the result before it goes live.

Replaces: A separate booking page and the availability back-and-forth.

Rates, minimums, and turnaround buffers per space — Studio B's weekend minimum doesn't argue with Studio D's hourly.

Cards are charged at booking; holds expire on their own. No-shows become deposits kept.

Embedded widget or full booking page — your domain, your brand, your confirmation emails.

Studio B

Book crew like you book a studio.

Assistants, digitechs, hair and makeup — with profiles, rates, work credits, and opportunities in one place. Contact and staff them directly, then carry the confirmed crew into the project instead of rebuilding the roster in a group chat.

Replaces: The group chat, the agency markup, and a prayer.

Show-up rate and rebook count accrue from completed jobs. Nobody can type their own numbers.

Published day rates, direct contact, zero agency percentage in the middle.

Booked crew land on the day plan automatically — role, rate, and call time agreed.

Studio E

One plan everybody actually sees.

The schedule, who's confirmed, what's signed, and what changed this morning stay with the project instead of a 14-message thread. Call sheets are built from that shared plan, so the production record does not need to be retyped from scratch.

Replaces: The night-before email and a PDF nobody opens.

Brief, schedule, crew, contracts, and changes in one living plan everyone reads.

Generated from the plan; move the call time and every copy updates.

E-signed agreements attached to the project — usage, rates, cancellation terms.

Studio D

Proof, pick, deliver — one link.

Your client sees the shoot, marks their picks, and receives finals through Prism. Downloads, comments, and print ordering stay with the gallery where enabled. The contact sheet below is a live product preview.

Replaces: Pixieset, WeTransfer, and the where-are-my-photos email.

See the shoot, tap picks, get finals — no account, no app, no confusion.

Downloads and print orders flow from the same place the work lives.

Gallery, picks, invoice, and booking stay one record — two years later you know what shipped.

Client proof — beverage spot0 picks

Your studio stays in front. The client sees your studio.

Booking pages, galleries, and representative invoice and agreement surfaces can carry your logo, colors, type, and tone. Legibility safeguards remain part of the system, while white-label depth and any quiet Luxel credit are configured with the studio plan during pilot onboarding.

For the ones who read the docs.

webhooks

Your other tools can listen.

Supported client actions can send signed webhook events to the tools your studio already uses. We verify the destination and event scope during onboarding.

<script>

Embeds anywhere.

One snippet adds the booking experience to Squarespace, Webflow, or the site you already run, using the tenant's saved look. Live scheduling rules are verified before publish.

stripe connect

Your money, your Stripe.

Tenant payments are designed around Stripe Connect and tenant-owned settlement. Pilot onboarding verifies the account, fee disclosure, and supported payment flows before they go live.

Scheduling software thinks in appointments. A studio thinks in rooms, hours, deposits, and turnaround time. This is booking built for the second thing.

watching for bookings…

The same engine that runs this calendar runs your booking page.

Rooms, not slots

Every space has its own rates, minimums, buffers, and rules. Studio B can demand four-hour minimums on weekends while Studio D rents by the hour — the calendar holds it all without conflicts.

Deposits at booking

The card is charged when the slot is taken. Holds expire on their own clock, and the no-show problem becomes a deposit-kept problem.

Your page, your domain

Clients book at your site — embedded widget or a full booking page wearing your brand. Confirmation and reminder emails come from you, not us.

The whole money trail

Invoices, installments, on-set add-ons, refunds — attached to the booking, settled through your own Stripe account.
