New Feature
December 15th, 2025
This year, we focused on one goal: helping photographers spend less time managing admin work and more time doing what they love.
Across Website Builder, Studio Manager, and Client Gallery, we introduced new tools and refinements that automate routine tasks, strengthen branding, and create smoother client experiences from start to finish.
Your website should work for you — even when you’re not online.
By adding a contact form to your site, you can collect the exact information you need before a client books: session type, preferred dates, budget, or any custom questions. Whenever someone fills out the form, you’ll receive an email notification.
To automate this even further, turn on integration with Zno Manager. All submissions will sync directly into your Manager backend as a Lead or Contact, depending on how you classify them. This means no manual copy-pasting, no missed inquiries, and a clear, organized lead list ready for follow-up.
This year, we introduced a new collection of templates crafted specifically for fine art photographers. These designs offer editorial, minimal, and timeless layouts that highlight your images with clarity while keeping navigation simple and intuitive.
Behind the scenes, we also improved image rendering and load performance, so your photos appear sharper without slowing down the browsing experience.
Repetitive paperwork can quickly eat up your time, especially when different clients require different agreements. In Zno Manager, you can create reusable templates for any session type — weddings, families, newborns, portraits, and more.
Zno Manager also gives you full control over the visual style of all your documents, from contracts to invoices. Tailor the design to reflect your unique brand identity and create a consistent, professional look across all client communications.
This allows you to send contracts and invoices in seconds, all while maintaining consistent branding and professionalism.



Your booking process should run smoothly without constant back-and-forth emails. In Zno Manager, set your duration hours, blackout dates and booking rules according to your availability. Once everything is configured, clients can book themselves into the time slots you’ve made available — no approval or extra communication needed.
The system automatically prevents double-bookings and keeps your schedule up to date. Clients get instant confirmation; you get an automated booking workflow that keeps your calendar organized and your business running efficiently.


Mini sessions work best when your availability is clear and easy to book. In Zno Manager, you can
create dedicated schedules under Manage Schedule, set weekly booking hours, and assign them to mini sessions or any other session type you offer. Once published, your availability appears automatically on your booking site — and clients can only select the time slots you’ve opened.
This keeps your calendar organized, prevents double-bookings, and makes mini session days run smoothly. Learn how to manage schedules.
To reduce no-shows and last-minute cancellations, you can require a deposit or full payment at the time of booking. Clients secure their session immediately, and you protect your revenue with a clear commitment upfront. It’s simple, automated, and ensures you get compensated for your time.
Busy seasons often mean forgotten appointments and overdue payments. Instead of manually chasing every client, let Zno Manager handle it.
You can enable:
Plus, confirmations for bookings, contracts, and invoices can be automated as well.
This keeps clients informed and reduces missed appointments — while giving you peace of mind knowing the system is handling communication for you.
Your gallery design plays a major role in how clients perceive your work. With the new Design Tab, you can easily adjust your gallery’s fonts, colors, cover design and layout to match your brand style or suit the tone of each session.
Whether you’re delivering weddings, families, or portraits, you can create a viewing experience that feels intentional and polished — all without leaving the gallery editor. A cohesive look helps clients feel the value of your work the moment they open their gallery.
If you deliver multiple galleries each week, consistency can become difficult to maintain manually. With Collection Presets, you can save your preferred gallery settings — including:
Apply the preset to any new gallery with a single click. This keeps your branding consistent, speeds up setup, and ensures every client receives a professional, polished experience.
When sharing galleries through Workspace, you can create reusable email templates for different session types — weddings, portraits, newborns, mini sessions, and more.
Add your usual message, delivery instructions, upsell notes, or store promotions once, then insert the template whenever you need it. This keeps your communication consistent and saves minutes every time you deliver a gallery.
2025 was a year of refinement — strengthening automations, improving design tools, and eliminating repetitive tasks so you can focus on creative work and client experience.
As we head into 2026, our mission stays the same: build tools that support photographers at every step — booking, shooting, delivering, and growing.
