How a client moves through CoreHue

The real power of CoreHue isn't any single feature. It's how they connect. From the first inquiry to the final gallery, every step happens in one place and carries your brand. Your client never bounces between five different tools or logs into something that looks nothing like you.

Here's the journey most photographers run, and where each part lives.

1. They inquire​

A client finds your booking page and sends an inquiry, or books a time directly. Either way the request lands in your leads, and CoreHue creates a client record for them automatically.

2. You share a pricing guide​

Not ready for a full quote? Send a pricing guide: a clean, branded page of your options. What the client picks flows straight into the proposal you build next.

3. You send a proposal​

A proposal bundles your pricing, a contract, and a questionnaire into one link. The client reviews your offer, makes any choices you allow, and moves ahead, without a long email thread.

4. They sign the contract​

Your contract is part of that same flow. The client reads it and signs online by drawing, typing, or uploading a signature. You counter-sign, and both of you get a clean copy. See Sending and signing.

5. They pay a deposit​

A date isn't really booked until money changes hands. The client pays a deposit by card through your invoice, and the booking is locked in.

6. They fill in a questionnaire​

Now you gather the details for the shoot with a questionnaire: timelines, addresses, shot lists, whatever you need. No more piecing it together over text.

7. The booking is confirmed​

The session lands on your calendar, and because you've connected Google Calendar, it stays in sync with everything else you have on. You manage it all from Bookings.

After the shoot, you deliver the photos in a branded gallery. The client opens a beautiful page with your name on it, not a generic download link.

9. They pick favorites​

Clients can mark favorites, which is perfect for album selections or print orders, and you see exactly what they chose.

10. They pay the balance​

The final invoice goes out, reminders chase it for you if it runs late, and the client pays the same simple way they did the deposit.

Why this matters​

Every one of those touchpoints, the inquiry, the proposal, the contract, the gallery, looks and feels like your studio. That consistency is what makes a small business feel established and trustworthy. Your client gets one calm experience, and you get one place to run all of it.
