Why you're here
If you're for photographers, you already know these problems
1
A $3,800 wedding seems profitable until you count 6 hours of editing + $400 in gear rental.
2
Your Lightroom, Capture One, cloud storage — all serve every shoot, but only whichever one you're editing right now gets the cost.
3
Your Etsy prints, your client sessions, and your stock sales all live in different apps.
4
Second-shooter payments get lost in the mix.
How Hustlay helps
Everything bent toward the way you actually work
Session-level P&L
Every wedding, shoot, or print drop is a project. True profit per job, not just 'revenue.'
Split creative stack
Lightroom, cloud storage, editing apps — split across all active shoots so each session's margin is honest.
Second shooter payments
Track subcontractor costs per shoot. Know if your 'cheap' helper is actually eating your margin.
Edit-time tracking
Log hours per session. If a wedding takes 40 hrs to edit, we'll surface whether you're actually profitable.
Contracts + deposits
Retainer invoices on book, balance on delivery. Status tracking so nothing slips.
Tag by style or venue
Group similar shoots ('outdoor portrait', 'wedding-package-A') so you learn what sells.

I thought weddings were my best money-maker. Actually mini-sessions in the fall paid 3× per hour. Completely changed how I book my year.
