What to do after your photo session?

Yay! You’ve chosen me to capture your memories of your loved ones, and your session is done - now you’re wondering what the process is from this point right? Here it is!

THIS IS WHAT YOUR EMAIL WILL LOOK LIKE

Within the time frame indicated, your digital images will be added to a protected online gallery that is accessible to you and whomever you wish to share it with! Make sure you have given me your email address as this is where your gallery will be sent. I will send the gallery link directly to your email so make certain you have my email address on your safe list so it’s not delivered to your spam folder!

Once you open your gallery, the prompts that appear will walk you through a tutorial of how each part works. A few options that will be showcased are how to favorite your images, how to download them, where the shopping cart and store are located.

Click the heart icon to favorite the ones you are okay with me posting on social media, as I do not like to post until you’ve chosen your favorites and your print items just in case there are some being held back for gifts or other reasons! I normally post a few sneak peeks to Facebook and Instagram so you can share with your loved ones, or to use in marketing pieces, or to showcase how awesome my clients are and how much I appreciate you, but as your privacy is more important than likes and comments - I don’t do so without permission! Also, by providing me feedback on your favorite images you are giving me a roadmap as to which looks you like the best so I am better prepared for our future sessions together!

Galleries are set up for the download option you have purchased based on your session type. If your package is an all-inclusive digital package then you will be able to “download all” at the top of your gallery (see pink arrow in photo below)…

…or you will be able to download individual files that you choose - (see photo below.)

Mini session fees include 10 high resolution digital files. Select your included files by clicking on the individual download arrow for each file you want (see pink arrow below)

and then once you’ve selected your 10 you’ll see your download folder at the top right of your gallery., as in the photo below.

If you wish to select additional digital files then you will simply click the download arrow for each additional file you want, and it will show up in the same place as your free files. When you are ready to finalize your digital file choices click on your download list at the top right of the gallery and you will see this dialog box open:

If you have chosen only your 10 files you will see $0.00 as your total; if you have selected more it will show the balance due as in the photo above. Double check your images are showing correctly and then click the “BUY HIGH-RES PHOTOS” button and put in your information, submit your order, and you will get an email with your download folder in it! *If you have a $0 balance it will still have you put in your contact info but no payment information.*

*These options are only available if your package includes digital files, so if you get on your gallery and do not see these options be sure to let me know if you would like to add digitals and I will send the appropriate invoice and activate the download option.

Now that you have your own copy of the digital images, your next step is to download the print release you will most likely need at your choice of print labs.

I will advise that I personally recommend printing at a professional lab for the best quality prints, which I can do for you by ordering through my online store. I also recommend www.mpix.com for a consumer option for professional-grade prints as well! If you choose to print at a consumer lab that does not look correct according to your files, I can not guarantee the print quality as they use color-correcting techniques that are not guaranteed by myself, Bryana Hamlin, or Blush Photography LLC. I will inspect any printed products that are ordered through me and ensure that they are perfect and packaged beautifully for delivery!

The last feature I want to touch on is the shopping feature! Having a tangible product in hand after your session gives you quality items for your family to enjoy and reminisce on. Select the photo you wish to choose products for, and then select the shopping cart icon at the bottom left of that image…

This will bring you to my online store where you can select canvases, metal prints and regular prints! I have researched, and continue to do so, the best options for heirloom quality printed products at an affordable rate, and pass on those deals to my clients! I also have an option for card designs but as I order these from a few different labs I handle these orders via email so I can design your card layout, send you a proof to approve, and then send you a quote from the lab. Prices fluctuate based on the impending holiday schedule so I shop around for the best prices for my clients!

I LOOOOVVVEEE delivering printed products and seeing my images hanging on the walls of your home for everyone to see, so if you send me a snapshot of your images in use I will send you a coupon code for 10% off your next session or purchase with Blush Photography LLC!
