Book a shoot
Choose the services and a time.
Bookings are made through your account, so your details are filled in. Once your account is approved, you see your rates and the total as you choose.
Choose
Enter the property address and any access notes, such as a lockbox code, a vendor at home or pets. Choose the services, then a day and a start time. If nothing suits, ask for a flexible time.
Twilight
Add twilight and the booking shows the time for that evening, timed to sunset at the property. Only days with a sunset time available are offered.
Confirm
Every booking is a request your photographer confirms, and the time you choose is held until then. The confirmation comes with a calendar invitation. If another time is suggested, you can accept it from a private link.
Listing not ready yet?
Agencies can add a job to the Pipeline when it is locked in but waiting on a vendor, builder or stylist, then mark it ready to schedule. You can also attach a floor plan or brief to a booking.

Invoicing, made simple
Invoicing follows the job, so when the work is done it goes straight to your accounts team. Agency managers and accounts people see what is to pay, overdue and paid in one dashboard.
Commercial projects
Wineries, businesses and brands, quoted to the brief.
Commercial work runs beside real estate in the same portal. It starts with a quote rather than a booking, and each project has its own page.
Request a quote
Tell us what you need, where and roughly when. The quote comes back with the options set out, ready to accept and sign online.
A page for the project
The brief, mood board, shot list and files sit on one private page. Invite colleagues with their own link, no account or password needed.
Review online
Watch a video draft, pause and leave a note at that moment, then send your notes or approve. Galleries can be kept behind a password.
Help and your phone
Short guides, and an app on your phone.
Add TogDesk to your home screen and it opens like any other app.
- Help has short, numbered guides for what you can do, with a search.
- Help also lets you report a problem with TogDesk or ask for a feature.
- On a phone, Home, Projects, Calendar and Messages sit in a bar at the bottom.
Built inside a working photography business.
TogDesk was built by a working photography business that wanted more than the basics. It runs real estate from booking to delivery, and a full commercial workflow beside it: retainer clients, project briefs and online proofing.
