Why it helps
Protected and professional
Every agreement is signed online and saved as a PDF you can find again.
No paperwork to chase
It is done while they book, not a week before the shoot.
The right details, first time
Kids' names and ages come in with the booking.
Who's in the photos
Every child's name and age, without asking twice.
Families tap plus and minus for adults and children, then add each child's first name and birthday month and year. bookbirdy shows how old each child will be on the day of the session, and remembers them for next time.
- Ages worked out for the session date
- Pets and other grown-ups too
- Saved on the family, so returning families skip it

Questions
Questions
Are e-signatures legally binding?
Electronic signatures are widely accepted in the United States. bookbirdy records who signed, when, and from which device. Your attorney can tell you what your contract needs.
Can I use my own contract?
Yes. Paste in your own and add fill-in fields where you want names, dates or amounts to appear.
What if a family books without signing?
They can't. When a session type has a contract, signing it is part of booking.
