Portrait inquiries are mostly the same six questions
Portrait studio inquiries cluster around a predictable set: how much is a session, what's the turnaround, do you provide hair and makeup, indoor or outdoor, do we get the raw files, how many edited images. SleekAI reads your session pages and pricing posts from WordPress and answers all of them from your real content. The $395 Signature Session with 60 minutes in-studio, 20 edited high-res images, and an online gallery within 14 days. Visitors get the answer; you keep the morning.
Session-type routing is where this becomes useful. Headshot, family, branding, maternity, and senior sessions have different lengths, prices, wardrobe rules, and deliverables, and a generic widget treats them identically. SleekAI maps each session type to its own post in wp_posts, with price, length, deliverable count, and policy meta, so a maternity inquiry sees the 30-38 week scheduling window and the partner-included pricing without you writing the same email for the hundredth time.
Print orders, gallery access, and reschedule policy round out the FAQ tail. The bot quotes your real print pricing (8x10 at $45, 16x20 at $145), explains your two-week gallery delivery window, and handles weather reschedules for outdoor sessions using whatever policy you've published. Display conditions keep the bot off the print-shop pages where it would compete with the cart, and multibot lets the senior portrait section run a different bot than the family section.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for Portrait Photographers
Session-type aware
Headshot, family, branding, maternity, senior - each post maps to length, price, deliverables, and policy. The bot quotes the right session without guessing or merging them into one fictional package.
Weather reschedule logic
Outdoor sessions follow whatever rain policy you publish. The bot offers the next available outdoor slot or a studio swap, and never makes up a refund rule that doesn't match your terms.
Wardrobe guidance
If your site has a wardrobe page with color palette and texture tips, the bot mirrors it in chat and sends the link. Families arrive prepared so session time isn't burned on outfit changes.
Use cases

Reschedule and weather
Handles the daily 'is the forecast okay' question for outdoor sessions and offers the next slot per your published policy. Frees up the assistant from playing weather desk.
Print and gallery questions
Quotes print pricing, explains gallery access, and answers turnaround timing from your real product pages. Steers checkout questions to the cart instead of intercepting them.
The bigger picture
Why portrait studios need session-aware chat
A portrait studio that shoots 200 sessions a year fields roughly 800 inquiries to get there, and the conversion bottleneck is rarely the booking link itself. It's the four-day round trip between the first contact and the proposal, during which the prospect has time to ask another studio or just lose interest. Most of that round trip is taken up by the same six questions answered for the hundredth time: how much, how long, what do we wear, do we get hair and makeup, when will the gallery be ready, and what if it rains.
A chatbot that doesn't know your real session pricing makes this worse, because vague answers send the prospect back to the contact form to ask the same question with different wording. SleekAI reads your session posts directly, so the $395 Signature Family number is the exact number that lands in chat the moment the question is asked. The wardrobe guide link arrives in the same response.
The 14-day gallery turnaround is quoted from your real terms page, not invented. And the rain policy is read verbatim from whatever you've published, so an outdoor inquiry on a forecast-uncertain weekend gets the right answer instead of escalating to a phone call. For senior portraits and maternity sessions specifically, the session timing windows (peak senior season in August, maternity ideally 30 to 38 weeks) get explained in chat, so prospects book inside the right window rather than missing it.
Multibot lets the headshot section run a different intake from the family section, so the corporate inquiry doesn't get the kid-management language and the family inquiry doesn't get the LinkedIn-ready turnaround pitch. The studio principal opens the booking form already knowing it's a Saturday outdoor family of five at the meadow location, not a blank brief.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for Portrait Photographers
Yes, if each session is a post or custom post type on your WordPress site. SleekAI reads the title, description, price, length, deliverables, and any policy meta you store, so a maternity inquiry gets the right wardrobe and timing answer while a headshot inquiry gets the corporate-friendly turnaround number. Update the post and the next conversation reflects the change, no retraining required.
 It quotes your published session prices and print costs verbatim. Custom adjustments - extended sessions, second photographer add-ons, destination travel - route to your booking flow because final pricing depends on specifics the bot shouldn't guess. The bot is explicit about what's a starting price versus a custom quote, so visitors aren't surprised at the proposal.
 Yes. Display conditions support URL pattern, post type, and user role, so the bot can hide on /shop, /galleries/{client}, and logged-in client portal pages while staying active on the public services and contact pages. Most studios keep it visible on session pages and the home page only, where it actually shortens the inquiry-to-booking loop.
 It handles them by quoting the policy you've published. If your terms page says outdoor sessions reschedule free within 24 hours of a rain forecast, the bot says exactly that. It can also offer the next available outdoor slot or a studio swap if you've configured them, but it never invents a refund window or a rule that contradicts your stated policy.
 Yes. The bot hands off to whatever booking link you use, with session type, date, and contact details passed through URL parameters where the platform supports them. Honeybook, Dubsado, Sprout Studio, Calendly, and custom WordPress forms all work. The booking arrives in your CRM with the right context so the proposal starts with a brief rather than a blank slate.
 If print and album pricing lives on your site as posts, products, or ACF fields, the bot reads it and quotes accurately. 8x10 at $45, 16x20 at $145, leather album from $850 - all current and consistent with the cart. Update the post or product and the next conversation reflects the new number without any retraining or republishing.
 Yours. SleekAI is BYO API key - bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key and the model bills you directly. For a single-location portrait studio the monthly model cost is typically $5 to $20 in actual API usage. You also choose the model: GPT-4o-mini is the common cost-effective pick, Claude Sonnet or GPT-4o for higher quality on more nuanced wardrobe and styling conversations.
 Yes. SleekAI is multibot, so the senior portrait section can run its own bot tuned to high-school-senior questions (location options, outfit changes, yearbook deadlines) while the family section runs a different bot focused on session length, kid management, and outdoor versus studio. Each bot has its own system prompt, presets, and display conditions, scoped to the URL pattern you choose.
