Client calls come during shoots.

Calls come in when you're behind the camera, editing images, or meeting with clients about their vision. We capture leads, book consultations, collect deposits, and log project details instantly in your systems. With our AI-first answering service with human support as an extension of capabilities, potential clients never hit voicemail.

Capture moments while AI handles the calls

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai greets every caller professionally and captures essential project information through structured intake questions. By collecting key details upfront — such as event type and date, photography style needed, location requirements, budget range, and package preferences — the system helps identify and prioritize qualified leads based on your specialty and availability.
