TextMint for Photographers and videographers

Your portfolio should not live inside your camera roll

TextMint builds your photography or videography business a real website, then takes your shoot bookings, packages, and retainers right inside WhatsApp. You shoot. It handles the admin.

Free during launch. No signup, no card. Just text us.

If you shoot weddings, portraits, or events, your best work is scattered across an Instagram feed that buries old posts and a camera roll only you can see. Every new lead asks the same things: what packages do you offer, how much, and are you free on their date. TextMint gives your photography or videography business a proper home online and a calmer way to take bookings, without you learning a single new app.

The hard parts

Your best shots are stuck in a highlight reel

You shot a gorgeous traditional wedding six months ago, but Instagram has since buried it under a hundred newer posts. A new client asks to see similar work and you are digging through old albums to find it.

Booking a date takes ten messages before anyone talks numbers

A client asks what you charge for a full day wedding shoot, and you retype your packages, add-ons, and delivery timelines from scratch, again, before you even know if their date is free.

Retainers you cannot confirm until the day arrives

A client sends a transfer alert screenshot for the booking fee, but you are not sure it actually cleared. You show up on the shoot day still hoping the payment went through.

How TextMint helps

A portfolio website organised by category

A real website with your best weddings, portraits, and events sorted into galleries, plus your packages and prices. Send one link instead of a scattered highlight reel. It shows up on Google when people search for a photographer near them.

Booking on WhatsApp button with the shoot details filled in

Clients pick a package and a date, then land straight in your WhatsApp with all of it already typed out. You confirm availability instead of chasing details across five messages.

Retainers confirmed before the date is locked in

TextMint sends a payment link for the booking fee and confirms the transfer landed. The date only holds once the retainer clears, so you stop turning away other clients on an unconfirmed promise.

Follow-ups on quotes and past clients

It nudges people who asked about a package but never confirmed, and helps you reconnect with past clients for anniversaries, referrals, or their next milestone shoot.

What it looks like

Frame and Light Studios / Yaba, Lagos

Frame and Light Studios used to rely on Instagram alone, watching great wedding coverage vanish under newer posts within weeks. Clients would ask for a price list and disappear before confirming a date. With TextMint, they got a website with galleries by category, packages priced clearly, and a Booking on WhatsApp button that captures the shoot date upfront, plus retainers confirmed automatically. Now a client picks a package, the enquiry arrives with the date attached, and the slot only locks in once the retainer is in.

Illustrative example, not a real customer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to build a website?

No. You describe your photography or videography business to TextMint in a WhatsApp chat, and it builds the site for you in about a minute. You approve it, and you can ask it to swap a photo or update a package any time by texting.

Will bookings still come through WhatsApp?

Yes. The enquiry still lands in your WhatsApp, which is where you already talk to clients. TextMint just makes the first message arrive with the package and date already filled in, so you skip the repeat questions.

How do retainers work for confirming a shoot date?

When a client is ready to book, TextMint creates a payment link and confirms the transfer for you. You know the retainer has cleared before you commit the date, which protects you from double bookings and no-shows.

Is it really free to get started?

TextMint is free during launch. You can get your photography or videography website and your WhatsApp booking system set up without paying anything upfront.
