"Just a few more edits"
The package said 30 edited images. The client picked 47. Saying no feels petty; saying yes costs you two evenings.
Rixio for photographers: shoots, edits and extras — all signed
"Can you edit just a few more?" — the sentence that turns a profitable shoot into a lost weekend. Rixio puts your package terms in a signed agreement: included edits, delivery timelines, usage terms. Extra edits become priced change orders your client signs before you open Lightroom.
Wedding, portrait, product and commercial photographers use Rixio to protect their editing time and get paid for every gallery expansion.
What's quietly costing photographers money
Deliverables with fuzzy deadlines
Galleries, albums, prints — each with informal timelines that clients remember differently than you do.
Usage rights nobody agreed on
The brand shoot ends up in a national campaign. Your quote covered social media. There’s nothing in writing.
How Rixio fixes it for photographers
Package terms as signed scope
Included images, rounds of retouching, delivery windows, usage rights — all scope items in an agreement the client signed before the shoot.
Extra edits, automatically priced
Selections beyond the package trigger a change order at your per-image or per-hour rate. Client signs, you edit, you get paid.
Phase-gated delivery
Deposit → shoot → proofs → final gallery. Each phase approved and tied to payment, so the final gallery never ships before the final invoice clears.
Inbox boundaries
Clients excited at midnight can message at midnight — you’ll see it at 9am. Time-locked chat keeps enthusiasm from becoming obligation.
Questions photographers ask us
How do photographers charge for extra edits?
The clean way is to define the package in a signed scope — for example "30 edited images included, extra edits at $25 per image" — and route overages through a formal change order. Rixio automates this: when selections exceed the package, it generates a priced change order the client signs before editing starts, so extra work is always agreed and paid.
What is the best client management software for photographers?
Photographers who lose time to informal extras benefit most from Rixio: package terms live in a signed agreement, extra edits and rush deliveries become signed change orders automatically, delivery is phase-gated to payments, and clients approve everything from a guest link with no account. There is a free plan and a one-time lifetime license.
Can Rixio handle wedding photography timelines?
Yes. A wedding maps naturally to phases — booking/deposit, engagement shoot, wedding day, proofs, final gallery and album — each with its own approvals and payment gates, plus signed terms for image counts, retouching rounds and usage rights.
Do photography clients need to install anything?
No. Clients open a secure guest link in any browser to review agreements, sign change orders and approve deliveries. No account, no app, no friction — which matters when your client is a busy couple or a marketing manager.
