Feature — Scheduling

Real estate photography scheduling software built around shoots, not appointments.

Your calendar should hold the job — the property, the client and the services — not a title you have to decode at 7am.

The problem

Two calendars is one calendar too many.

Most photographers end up running the shoot day out of a personal calendar while the actual job details live somewhere else — a note, a thread, a folder. The calendar tells you where to be. It cannot tell you that this listing also ordered a reel, that the agent asked for twilight, or that yesterday's brackets never uploaded.

When the schedule and the job are the same object, the day plan and the production queue stop drifting apart.

What a shoot calendar should let you do

  • See the week before you accept a fifth job on Thursday.
  • Keep travel-heavy days from stacking into an impossible route.
  • Protect the golden-hour slot when twilight exteriors are on the sheet.
  • Know which shoots still have brackets waiting to upload.
  • Keep a client's rescheduled shoot on the same job instead of a new one.

What you get

Scheduling that knows what a shoot is.

A shoot calendar, not an events calendar

Month and day views built around property shoots, with the address and client visible where you need them.

Blocked time

Mark days or stretches as unavailable so requests never land on a day you cannot work.

Day detail

Open a day and see what is on it, in order, with the jobs themselves rather than a list of reminders.

Book for later

Take work now and place it on a future date without inventing a placeholder job you have to clean up.

Ties to the property

Each scheduled shoot stays linked to the property record, so repeat visits to the same address stack up as history.

Room for how shoots really run

Day-level scheduling reflects the way light, access and travel actually decide a real estate shoot's timing.

Requests reach the calendar from your public booking page, and leave it for editor production once the brackets are uploaded.

FAQ

Scheduling questions

How is shoot scheduling different from a normal calendar?

A normal calendar holds a time and a title. A shoot needs the property, the client, the ordered services and the files that will come out of it. In RELMX the calendar entry is the job, so when the day arrives everything the shoot needs is already attached to it.

Can I block out days I am not available?

Yes. You can block time so booking requests do not land on days you cannot shoot, and the calendar reflects what is actually workable.

Does RELMX schedule by exact time slot?

Booking works at the day level, and you confirm arrival time with the client when you plan the day. That is deliberate: light, drive time and access are what really determine a real estate shoot's start time, and a rigid slot grid tends to promise precision the day cannot keep.

What happens to a shoot after the day is over?

The same record moves into upload and production. You do not create a second entry for the editing side of the job.
