About this template
A photography client questionnaire saves the first half of every consultation call. This one asks the type of shoot, the date, the location, how many people, which shots matter most, and the style they like, one question at a time, and it greets the client by name after the first answer.
The must have shots question is the one to read twice. A couple who want a photo with a grandparent, or a brand that needs a wide banner image, will tell you here, and missing that on the day cannot be fixed afterwards.
Clients can upload photos they love, which settles the style question faster than any description. The style options give you a shared vocabulary to start from when the examples are mixed.
Add your packages as a multiple choice question if you want clients to pick one before you quote, and change the shoot types to the work you actually take on.
Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I ask a photography client before a shoot?
- The type of shoot, the date and location, how many people will be photographed, the shots they cannot do without, the style they prefer, and a few example photos they like. With those you can quote, plan the timeline, and scout the location before you meet.
- Can clients send inspiration photos through the form?
- Yes. The upload question takes image files from a phone or computer, and they are saved with the client's answers so everything for the shoot is in one place.
- Should the questionnaire go out before or after booking?
- Before a quote works best for new enquiries, because it filters out shoots you do not offer and gives you what you need to price the job. Send a more detailed timeline questionnaire after booking for weddings and events.
