Create an online calendar that you can share on your website, email signatures, social media profiles - really anywhere you want. Booking calendars allow your clients and leads to view your availability and book online. This is a great option when you know your calendar, and you want share that calendar publicly.
You can create multiple calendar links - for example, you can have a calendar for each genre of photography you specialize in. The calendars communicate with each other so you won't double book if you have the same availability or overlapping availability on multiple calendars.
