Social media for photographers

Your studio's social media, done for you. Fifteen posts a month. You approve, we post.

We write about your sessions, the way you use light, and what happens between the booking and the gallery. You approve each post by text, and we post to the accounts you connect.

  • Lightwell Studio
    Lightwell Studio post: "The table before anyone sat down.", a long wedding table set with candles and an olive-branch runner, empty chairs down both sides, in a sunlit stone courtyard.

    We shoot the room before the guests arrive. It never looks like this again.

  • Long Table
    Long Table post: "THIRD PLATE, FOURTH HOUR", a bowl of stew on a food set with a hand laying one herb frond with tweezers.

    Four hours and three plates for one frame. This is the hour nobody orders.

  • Union Hall
    Union Hall post: "Second shooter, weekends", a deep green hiring card with the nights, the kit and the day rate.

    We are looking for a second shooter for weekends. Message us if that is you.

  • Iron Window
    Iron Window post: "Ten years in the same room.", a worn prime lens standing on a black field under a lime rim light.

    Ten years in the same room, and the north window still does most of the work.

  • Lightwell Studio
    Lightwell Studio post: "Golden hour is not a filter.", a giant flat yellow sun cropped by a black treeline on magenta.

    Golden hour moves every week. We book the session around it, not the clock.

  • Ninth Mile
    Ninth Mile post: "RACE MORNING, BEFORE AND AFTER THE EDIT", the same sunrise frame of runners' legs stacked flat then finished.

    Same file, same crop. The edit only brings back the light that was there.

  • Stone Court
    Stone Court post: "TWILIGHT EXTERIORS", a low mid-century house at blue hour with every window lit and the driveway wet.

    Twilight exteriors start September 14. We book them by the sunset, not the hour.

  • Paper Ground
    Paper Ground post: "The studio is dark, September 7 to 11", an empty nude seamless sweep with one ceramic dish left on it.

    We are dark next week to resurface the sweep and recalibrate the lights.

  • Make your ownA card for a post you make often.Reusable format

A sample request. The card, its fields and the finished post are the ones this trade gets.

A sample request, played on the Make a post screen. The “An event” card is tapped and its sheet opens; the answers filled in are: what's happening, Fall mini sessions; the date, 2026-10-11; the time, 9am to 1pm; the details, Twenty-minute slots at the orchard on Route 9. Ten families, five edited photos each, delivered within a week; cost, $150. Send, and Soyla answers “On it.”, then writes the post. A few minutes later it is waiting in Review for Lightwell Studio, labelled “You asked for this”, with Approve and Decline under it. Nothing here is posted; this is a depiction of the product.
How it works

Two minutes between shoots

We text you when new posts are ready. Approve the ones you like, decline one with a reason, and the next posts change.

When new posts are ready, Soyla texts you a link to them. Each one is shown as it will look in the feed, going to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Threads at once. Approve a post and Soyla schedules it and posts it to the accounts you connected. Decline one with a reason — “not our tone”, say — and the next drafts change. The film ends where the work does: the approved post going out to all five of those accounts, off that one tap. Nothing here is posted; this is a depiction of the product.

  1. We text you new posts

  2. You approve or decline

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Will you use my own photos?

Yes, and you should. Add them in the dashboard or straight from the link we text you, and we use them untouched. We never redraw your photographs, and we never generate a picture and present it as something you shot.

Can you post about a client's wedding or session?

Only with that client's OK, and only from what you tell us. Every draft is checked before you see it: nobody is named or shown without permission, and no price, date or detail goes on a post unless you wrote it. You approve every post.

Will every post just be a finished photo?

No. Finished frames share the month with how a session runs, what to wear, the way you use light, editing and delivery, and your own studio news.

Does this work for wedding, family or product photography?

Yes. Tell us what you shoot and we write from that. Weddings, families, portraits, products, events or a mix: the posts come from your own work and the way your sessions run.

Do you actually post for us?

Yes, on the accounts you connect. Every post you approve is scheduled to a day and published to your own Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or other connected pages. We never post to an account you have not connected.

What does it cost?

It is free to sign up. Plans start at $99 a month.
