The workspace for creative studios, from booking to delivered gallery
Management software for creative studios and visual storytellers. A booking link instead of a website, one place for your money instead of Excel, and a calendar that fills itself.
What Lnsly does for your studio
- Clients book themselves in seconds
- Your own booking link. It works as a standalone page, or sits inside the website you already have.
- Your calendar fills itself
- Every session lands in Google Calendar automatically. You never add an event by hand.
- A real gallery, not a Drive link
- No USB sticks, no Drive folders. Your client opens a private gallery with a one-time code and downloads a whole album in one file.
Every studio knows this
The chaos of running a studio
- A broken system
- Juggling WhatsApp, Excel, and a calendar you forgot to update.
- Scattered bookings
- Details lost in a sea of texts and calls. Nothing in one place.
- Unsigned contracts
- Agreements sent, never finished. No protection when it counts.
- Delivery that drags
- Drive links expire, and clients ask you to resend their gallery months later.
Bookings and sessions
One link, and clients book themselves
Build the booking page around how your studio works: your packages, your prices, your questions. Create as many as you need. What reaches you is one booking holding every session of the job, each with its own day, place, and photographer.
- Embed it in your own website. We'll add it for you
- Custom questions per package
- Full control over working days, days off, and the earliest bookable date
Photo delivery
Every client gets their own gallery, not a USB stick
Upload the photos and they land in albums built from the booking's sessions. Share one link, your client opens it with a one-time code, and downloads a whole album in one file. Storage is included in every plan.
- One-time WhatsApp code
- One-click album download
- Albums auto-created from sessions
Contracts
Contracts clients actually sign
The contract writes itself from the booking: the package, the dates, the sessions, and the payment schedule. Add your own clauses, send it as a link with a six-digit code, and your client signs from their phone in under a minute. You get a signed PDF back, in Arabic or English.

Payments
Know who paid, instantly
Split any booking into installments and record each payment however it arrived. Every balance stays in front of you, the client gets a printable receipt, and prices stay with you.
Your data
Your data stays yours. Easy in, easy out
Import your Excel files as they are, in Arabic or English. Duplicates merge on their own, and one button undoes the whole import if it goes wrong. Leaving? Export everything as CSV in a click.

Common questions
What is Lnsly?
A photography studio management platform: bookings, sessions, digital contracts, payments, team roles, and photo delivery in one system. Built for studios in Egypt and the Arab world, whatever they shoot.
When do I get access?
Lnsly is live and studios are working in it today. We open accounts in small batches so every studio gets set up properly, so you join the list, and we email you the moment yours is ready.
What will Lnsly cost?
Paid plans come later, and founding members lock in the lowest price.
Does Lnsly support Arabic?
Yes, fully. Dashboard, booking pages, contracts, receipts, and galleries in Arabic and English, with full right-to-left support.
How does a booking with more than one session work?
One booking holds them all. Each session carries its own date, time, location, and assigned photographers, while the contract, the installments, and the gallery albums stay with that single booking.
Can my secretary use Lnsly without seeing prices and payments?
Yes. Five roles: owner, manager, secretary, photographer, editor. Secretaries run bookings, clients, and sessions but see no price or payment; photographers see only the sessions assigned to them.
I offer different services at different prices. Can Lnsly handle that?
Yes. Build a booking page for each one, with its own packages, prices, and questions. Every booking still lands in the same dashboard.
What payment methods does Lnsly track?
InstaPay, Vodafone Cash, bank transfer, and cash. You record each payment and Lnsly keeps every booking's balance current.
How do I deliver photos to a client after the session?
Upload them to the client's gallery and share one link. Your client opens it with a one-time code and downloads single photos or a whole album in one file.
How much storage do I get for galleries?
Storage is included in every plan, and you can add more when you run out.
Can I move my old data in? And export it later?
Both ways. Import Excel files with Arabic and English column names and full undo, and export clients, bookings, payments, sessions, and expenses as CSV or one full backup.
Can I put the booking page inside my own website?
Yes. Copy the embed code from Settings into your site, and we'll help you add it if you'd like.
How is Lnsly different from foreign tools like Pixieset?
Foreign tools run in English, price in dollars, and don't know InstaPay or Vodafone Cash. Lnsly is Arabic-first and covers the whole job, from booking page to delivered gallery.
