Changelog

Mark a budget line as paid, partially paid, or paid late. The new organization-level P&L dashboard rolls income, costs, and margin up from every project so you can see where the money actually is.

Define the cost categories your studio bills against — production fees, equipment, travel, talent — and the rates you charge for each. New budgets pre-fill from these so you're not retyping numbers every project.

Plan what a job should cost. Build a budget from cost categories, set rates per crew member, and watch committed totals roll up from individual shoots to the parent project to the whole organization. Lock the budget when it's approved so numbers don't drift.

Sign-in now resists repeated failed attempts with a progressive cool-down, and sessions stay valid for two weeks before you need to sign in again. No action needed — it's all in the background.

Pick a person from your directory, assign them a role on a shoot (photographer, assistant, model), and they're booked. Status badges show whether each booking is pending, confirmed, or declined.

See every booked shoot, plus your team's personal holds and unavailability, on one calendar. Drag a shoot to reschedule it. Filter by project, location, or person to find an opening.

Plan a project, schedule the shoots it contains, book the crew, attach the locations, and follow it from brief to delivery. Every part of the workflow now hangs off two simple objects: Project for the long-running work and Shoot for a single production day.

Save every studio, set, or address you shoot at as a Location with its own gallery, contact details, and notes. Connect your team's Google Drive or Dropbox once and ShootHive's file pages live alongside your existing folder structure.

Add the people you work with — photographers, models, agents, clients — to a shared directory. Each person gets a profile with contact info, role, and a history of the shoots they've been on. You only need to enter someone once.
