Book inquiries while
you're behind the camera.
Your inquiries peak on Saturday — exactly when you're shooting a wedding and can't touch your phone. Reachlee answers "what are your packages?" instantly, sends your pricing guide, captures the couple's email and phone, and follows up if they go quiet. $9/month flat, free to start.
Why photographers choose Reachlee.
Your portfolio lives on Instagram and your inquiries arrive as DMs — but they arrive on weekends, when you're shooting back-to-back and your phone is in the bag. A Monday reply often means the couple already booked someone else. Speed-to-lead decides bookings in this business, and roughly every other inquiry starts with the same question: "what are your packages?" Reachlee answers that question in seconds, every time, from your account, in your words — then captures the contact info so the inquiry becomes a lead you can actually follow up on.
- Instant pricing-guide delivery: comment or DM "PRICING" → your guide link lands in their DMs in seconds.
- Flat $9/month Pro — unlimited DMs and leads, so a viral portfolio reel never raises your bill.
- Email + phone capture inside the DM (Pro) — your inquiry list lives outside Instagram.
- Google Sheets piping (Business) — every inquiry lands in a sheet your studio can work from.
From "price?" comment to booked inquiry.
Set your trigger
Pick a keyword like "PRICING" for comments on a post or Reel, for story replies, or for DMs. On Pro, any-post triggers cover every post at once — no per-post setup when a reel takes off.
Reachlee replies instantly
The commenter gets a DM from your account within seconds: your pricing guide or inquiry-form link, in your tone. It works at 3pm on a Saturday exactly the same as it does at your desk.
Capture the contact
On Pro, the flow asks for their email and phone and saves both as a lead. On Business, each inquiry pipes straight into a Google Sheet — dates, contacts, source post.
Follow up automatically
Sent the guide but no reply? The follow-up nudge (Pro) sends a gentle check-in within Instagram's messaging window. Then you take over personally in the same thread from Reachlee's inbox.
Built for how photography inquiries actually happen.
Every step between "saw your reel" and "filled out the inquiry form" has a feature aimed at it.
Comment-to-DM for viral portfolio reels
A wedding reel takes off and the comments fill with "price?" and "do you travel?". Reachlee DMs every commenter your pricing guide and inquiry link while you sleep — no comment left unanswered, no lead left waiting.
"PRICING" keyword auto-reply
"What are your packages?" is most of your inbox. Set the keyword once; anyone who comments or DMs "PRICING" gets your guide link in seconds. You stop retyping the same answer and start replying only to warm, informed inquiries.
Email + phone capture (Pro)
The DM flow asks the couple for their email and phone and saves both as a lead. Your inquiry isn't stuck in an Instagram thread — it's contact info you own, ready for your proposal email or a call.
Follow-up nudge (Pro)
You sent the pricing guide; they went quiet. Reachlee sends an automatic, gentle follow-up within Instagram's messaging window — the "just checking in" you mean to send after every inquiry and never have time to.
Story-reply automation for behind-the-scenes
You post behind-the-scenes stories from a shoot and replies roll in. Reachlee auto-responds to story replies with your inquiry link, turning "omg this venue" into a captured lead.
Scheduled DMs + any-post triggers for mini sessions (Pro)
Announcing fall mini sessions? Schedule the DM ahead of launch day, and let any-post triggers handle the comment storm across every announcement post — dates, pricing, and booking link delivered instantly.
A photographer's weekend, before and after.
Saturday wedding, Saturday inquiries
You're shooting a wedding from 2pm to midnight. Three couples DM "what are your packages?" during the reception. You reply Monday morning — two have already booked someone who answered Saturday night.
Each couple gets your pricing guide within seconds of asking, plus a prompt for their email and phone. Monday morning you open Reachlee's inbox to three captured inquiries with contact info, and reply personally in the same threads.
The portfolio reel that finally goes viral
A reel from last month's wedding hits hundreds of comments — "price?", "do you travel?", "are you free in June?". You answer forty of them over three evenings; the rest scroll on.
Comment-to-DM answers every single commenter with your pricing guide and inquiry link, overnight, automatically. The comment storm becomes an inquiry list instead of a missed weekend.
Mini-session launch day
You announce fall minis and spend launch day glued to your phone, DMing dates and prices one comment at a time while your editing queue grows.
The announcement DM is scheduled in advance, any-post triggers cover every launch post, and each commenter gets dates + pricing + booking link instantly. You spend launch day editing, not typing.

Is automating Instagram DMs allowed by Instagram?
Yes. Reachlee is built on Meta's official Instagram API and is a Meta-verified Tech Provider. It automatically respects Instagram's rules, including the 24-hour messaging window, and never messages people who haven't engaged with you first. The horror stories about banned accounts come from browser bots that scrape profiles and mass-follow — a completely different category of tool. Using Reachlee is the same class of integration as any Meta-approved business tool: you connect your Instagram professional account through Instagram's own login flow, and everything runs through the official API.
Will couples know the first reply is automated?
Honest answer: the first reply is automated — that's the point, because it's instant instead of arriving Monday. It comes from your account, in your words, so it reads like a fast reply rather than a robot. What matters is what happens next: you take over personally in the same thread. Reachlee's inbox shows every conversation, so when you're back from the shoot you continue exactly where the automation left off. Couples consistently care more about getting your pricing guide in ten seconds than about who pressed send.
How does the "PRICING" keyword automation work?
You create one automation: when someone comments "PRICING" on a post (or DMs it to you), Reachlee sends them a DM with your pricing-guide link and whatever message you write. Add a "comment PRICING for my full package guide" line to your captions and stories, and the automation handles the rest. On Pro, any-post triggers apply the keyword across all your posts at once, so a reel that takes off six months from now is already covered without any extra setup.
Can I get the couple's email and phone number out of Instagram?
Yes, on Pro. After sending your pricing guide, the flow can ask for their email and phone — "drop your email and I'll send over full package details" — and Reachlee validates and saves both as a lead. On Business, every inquiry pipes automatically into a Google Sheet with the contact info attached, so your inquiry list lives in a spreadsheet you own rather than scattered across DM threads you have to scroll back through.
What happens when someone gets my pricing guide but never replies?
That's the follow-up nudge (Pro). If a lead goes quiet after receiving your guide, Reachlee sends an automatic, gentle check-in — the "just wanted to make sure this reached you!" message every photographer means to send and rarely does. It's sent within Instagram's official 24-hour messaging window, so it's fully compliant. A meaningful share of bookings come from that second touch; the nudge makes sure it always happens, even during a triple-header wedding weekend.
Does this work for story replies and behind-the-scenes content?
Yes. Story-reply automation triggers when someone replies to your story — so behind-the-scenes posts from a shoot become an inquiry channel, not just engagement. Someone replies "this venue is gorgeous, are you available in October?" and Reachlee responds instantly with your inquiry link, then captures their contact info if you've added that step. Stories disappear in 24 hours; the leads they generate shouldn't disappear with them.
I run a studio with a second shooter and an assistant — which plan?
Business ($29/mo). It covers 10 Instagram accounts — your main brand, your personal, an associate's account — plus 5 team seats so your assistant or studio manager can work the shared inbox without sharing your password. Inquiries pipe into Google Sheets, which becomes the studio's shared inquiry list. Solo shooters generally start on Pro ($9/mo, 3 accounts) and move up when they hire help; the Free plan (1 account, 1,000 DMs/month) is enough to test the pricing-guide flow first.
