kinako handles your invoices, contracts, client portal, and revenue tracking — so you spend more time behind the lens and less time chasing payments and juggling emails.
Free plan available · No credit card required
< 2 min
to send an invoice
0 follow-ups
with auto-reminders
1 place
for all client files
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.
Everything photographers need to run a professional business.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
