How to use TaKo Studio

Step-by-step guides for every part of running your studio here — from your first proposal to tracking freelancer payments.

Getting Started

Getting started with TaKo Studio

Set up your studio for the first time: branding, your rate card, and sending your first proposal.

Proposals & Clients

Creating and sending proposals

Build a wedding quotation with events, photobooks, and add-ons, then send it as a branded PDF.

Managing clients

Add clients, see their proposal and invoice history, and keep contact details in one place.

Setting up your rate card

Set your per-role and add-on rates once so every new proposal prices itself automatically.

Portfolio galleries

Build reusable photo galleries and attach the right one to any proposal.

Studio Setup

Branding your studio

Logo, brand color, PDF template, About text, and the default cover note and terms.

Payment settings

Bank details, accepted payment modes, your default payment schedule, and your signature/stamp on invoices.

Invoices & Payments

Invoices and recording payments

How an accepted proposal becomes an invoice, and how to log payments against it.

Instant invoices

Bill a client directly without a proposal first — for walk-ins or one-off jobs.

Freelancers and their payments

Keep a directory of freelancers you work with and track what you've paid each one.

Calendar & Data

The event calendar

How proposal events land on your calendar automatically, and how to add your own entries by hand.

Data storage management

Track where each shoot's actual photo and video files live — which hard disk, whether there's a backup, whether it's been delivered.

Account & Billing

Plan & billing

Upgrading, renewing, coupons, and what happens when a subscription period ends.

Reports

See your studio's business overview — revenue, outstanding payments, and trends.

Getting support

Raise a ticket from your dashboard for anything you're stuck on.
