Duke at your studio

Duke books the shoots while you're editing.

He answers session questions on WhatsApp from your packages, books portraits and headshots into each photographer's free times, and saves due dates and wedding dates for later. Quotes still waiting get a follow-up drafted, and he knows which galleries are running late.
