Jay Money Photography — Portfolio, Booking, Gallery, and Client Communication System

A photographer needed a premium site supporting booking, gallery selection, communication, portfolio organization, reviews, and client experience — not just displaying work. The website had to participate in the business, from first booking to final photo selection.

Developer and systems builder — improving the public site, building the booking and gallery workflows, and optimizing performance across the experience.

• The photographer — managing content, bookings, and client communication
• Clients — booking sessions, reviewing galleries, and selecting images
• Prospective clients — evaluating the portfolio and brand

1. 01Discovery — where the business loses time between booking, shooting, and delivery
2. 02Portfolio organization — photography and lifestyle work presented distinctly
3. 03Booking and gallery workflows — from inquiry to image selection
4. 04Communication — automated booking and photo-selection emails
5. 05Performance pass — image sizing, dependency cleanup, animation optimization

• Public portfolio and brand site connected to booking, galleries, and reviews
• Client gallery experience with a mobile-friendly image-selection flow
• Automated email communication driven by booking and photo-selection templates
• Admin content management so the photographer controls portfolios and site content

• Treat the website as part of the business workflow, not a brochure
• Separate photography and lifestyle portfolios so each audience finds its work
• Optimize the mobile gallery experience — swiping and selecting images is where clients spend their time

• Client galleries with image-selection flow and mobile swipe improvements
• Review integration and admin content management

• A media-heavy site with premium ambitions and real performance constraints — addressed through image sizing, dependency and font cleanup, and animation optimization
• Automating communication without losing the photographer's personal voice — templates were built and reviewed with the photographer

• The project connects the public brand, booking process, client gallery experience, and internal content updates instead of treating the website as a static portfolio.
