Mini Session Profit Optimizer
Model a mini-session day like a business owner: profit, hourly rate, capacity, and the impact of add-ons.
Studio Tools • Profit Modeling
What the client pays to book the mini.
How many booking spots you open for this event.
If you usually sell 8/10 slots, that’s 80%.
Prints, extra digitals, upgrades, rush editing, etc.
Gallery hosting, packaging, travel per client, etc.
Location permit, ads, props, assistant for the day, etc.
Be honest. This is where people underprice.
If 1 out of 20 no-shows, that’s 5%.

Enter your numbers above to see your profit and a quick verdict.
Pro tip: If profit/hour is low, your best levers are price, upsell, and editing hours.
Slots help, but only if you can handle the workload without burnout.
