After Your Session: Navigating Your Online Photo Gallery

Once your session is complete, it’s time for the exciting part—viewing your beautiful images! Here's everything you need to know about reviewing, selecting, and downloading your photos from your online gallery.

Image Turnaround Time

Turnaround time varies depending on the session type and is listed on your booking confirmation and pricing guide. After your shoot, I carefully review each image and apply a light color edit so you can preview the overall look.


Note: The initial gallery preview does not include full retouching (such as skin smoothing or backdrop extensions). That comes after you've selected your favorites.

Accessing Your Online Gallery

  • Once your preview gallery is ready, you’ll receive a link via email.
  • View on a computer for the best experience
  • All images are watermarked to protect your gallery
  • Screenshots are not allowed —your final images will be high-resolution and watermark-free

How to Select Your Favorite Photos

  • Click the heart icon under each photo to mark it as a favorite.
  • A pop-up will prompt you to enter your email—this creates your Favorites List.
  • I recommend scrolling through the entire gallery once and clicking the heart on all the images you like.
  • When you’re done:
  • Scroll to the top and click Favorites → My Favorites to view your selected images.
  • You can narrow them down from there if needed.

How to Send Me Your Selections & Purchase Extra Images

  • If you selected the number of images included in your package:
  • Click “Share” → “Send to Photographer” and you’re done!
  • If you want to purchase additional images beyond what’s included:
  • Visit the pricing page and contact me for an invoice.

Once I receive your final selections, I’ll begin the retouching process. Your final gallery will be delivered within the timeframe listed in your session details and will be:

  • Fully edited
  • High-resolution
  • Watermark-free
  • Ready to download

How to Download Your Photos in High Quality

For best results, download on a computer.

From your email Click the “View Photos” button, then follow these steps:


📱 On a Phone:

  • Tap the three dots (top right)
  • Select Download
  • Enter your email and follow the prompts


💻 On a Computer:

  • Click the down arrow (top right)
  • Enter your email and download all files

Be sure to download before the gallery expires (the date is listed in your email)

Where to Print Your Photos

To preserve the quality and color of your images, I recommend using a professional photo lab. Avoid using big-box retailers like Walmart or Walgreens, as their printers may not deliver true-to-color results. Most labs require a print release form, which you can download here. If you'd like the most accurate prints possible, you can also order directly through me—I use trusted labs to ensure your images look exactly as intended.
