Right now, you're probably dealing with:

💸

Chasing down deposits and balances via PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer — with no record of what's been paid

📄

Sending contracts as PDFs that clients print, sign, scan, and email back (if they remember)

📁

Delivering galleries over Google Drive or WeTransfer with no way to know if the client actually downloaded them

🤷

Having no idea what you actually earned this quarter until you sit down with a spreadsheet

kinako fixes all of this. One tool, one login.

Here's what changes

Everything photographers need to run a professional business.

Most used

Invoices with online Stripe payments

Send an invoice with a payment link. Clients pay by card in seconds — deposit or balance, however you've structured it. Automatic reminders handle late balances so you never have to send an awkward follow-up.

Contracts with e-signatures

Build your photography service agreement once — shoot fee, editing timeline, usage rights, cancellation policy — and send it via link. Clients sign on any device in under a minute.

Client portal for every booking

Each client gets their own portal where they can see their contract, download invoices, track the project status, and access any files you share. No more 'just checking in' messages.

Proposals that get approved

Put together a photography proposal — packages, what's included, your timeline — and share it as a link. Clients approve with one click, triggering the contract to go out automatically.

Intake forms for every session

Send a pre-shoot questionnaire when a client books: shoot type, location, must-have shots, style preferences. Everything you need before the session, collected in one place.

Revenue dashboard

See total revenue, outstanding balances, and overdue invoices at a glance — filtered by month, quarter, or client. Finally know exactly what you earned, not just what you invoiced.

I'm not a 'tools' person. I avoided software for years. But kinako didn't feel like software — it just felt like having my life together.

Frequently asked questions

Is kinako better than HoneyBook for photographers?

kinako covers the same core workflow — invoicing, contracts, proposals, and client portal — at a lower price ($19/mo vs $32/mo for HoneyBook's full-feature plan). HoneyBook has more built-in automations, but kinako includes Stripe payments and e-signatures at all paid tiers.

Can I send invoices with online payment links?

Yes. Every invoice you send through kinako includes a Stripe payment link. Clients pay by card in seconds, and funds arrive in your bank account within 2 business days.

Does kinako handle photography contracts?

Yes. You can build a photography service agreement with clauses for usage rights, cancellation policy, revision limits, and delivery timeline. Clients sign electronically via a shareable link.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 clients, 3 projects, 3 invoices, and access to the client portal. No credit card required to start.
