You showed up. We made something beautiful. Now what?
There’s this quiet little high that happens after a session.
You step out of the moment—sand still in your shoes, skin still warm from the sun—and think, Wait… now what?
You’ve done your part. You showed up, leaned in, laughed a little (or a lot), and trusted me with your story. Now that the cameras are packed up and the memory cards are full, it’s totally normal to wonder what comes next.
This post walks you through the rest of the process—step by step. No jargon. No guesswork. Just real talk on when you’ll get your images, how to download them, where to print them, and a few tips to help you make the most of your gallery.
📌 Quick Tip: Bookmark this post or save it to Pinterest—it’s perfect to revisit right after your session and helps calm those post-session “What now?” nerves. Feel free to share it with anyone who was part of your shoot!

How You’ll Access Your Gallery
What the email will look like when you get your gallery.
Private, simple, and actually enjoyable to use.
When your gallery is ready, you’ll get a link via email. That takes you to a password-protected space on Pic-Time, where everything lives—your sneak peek (if applicable), full gallery, download options, and a built-in print store.
Pic-Time is clean, beautiful, and intuitive—like walking into a calm, light-filled room where your memories are hanging on the walls.
💡 Heads-up: You’ll create a quick login the first time you access your gallery, then it’s smooth sailing.
- Viewable on any device (phone, tablet, computer)
- Available for 6 months
- Easy to share with friends and family
Just don’t forget to download your favorites early so you always have a backup. (Future You will be grateful.)
And don’t worry—I’ll walk you through it all again when your gallery is delivered.
Downloading Your Images
Yes, you can keep them forever—and here’s how.
Once you’ve soaked in your gallery, you can download your included images right to your device.
- You’ll see how many downloads are included with your session
- Select exactly which images you want to keep
- Want more? You can purchase additional downloads right from your gallery—easy, no extra emails needed
You’ll receive every image in two sizes:
- Web-size files: Perfect for sharing on social or emailing to Grandma
- High-res files: Great for printing and framing
Both are delivered with no renaming or resizing needed.
🔐 Photographer PSA: Once you’ve downloaded your images, back them up—to the cloud, an external hard drive, whatever works for you. Your gallery stays up for 6 months, but keeping your own copy = digital peace of mind.
Ordering Prints & Products
Some of the available products in your personalized Pic-Time Gallery Shop.
From screen to real life—here’s how to make your images tangible.
There’s just something about holding a photo in your hands. It feels more real.
Inside your Pic-Time gallery, you’ll find a curated print shop. Everything is integrated—you just click, choose, and check out.
Available products include:
- Matted & panoramic prints
- Canvas wraps & metal wall art
- Circular frames & greeting cards
- Calendars & print packs (great for gifts!)
Everything is professional-grade and calibrated to match how your images were edited—so what you see in the gallery is exactly what you’ll get in print.
📚 Want something extra special?
I also offer custom-designed albums—beautiful, high-quality books crafted with your favorite images. This option isn’t available in Pic-Time, but if it’s calling your name, just reach out and we’ll design it together.
✨ Bonus: Friends and family can order their own prints too, right from your gallery—no extra work for you.
Special Discounts & Expiration Reminders
Because your memories deserve a gentle nudge—and a good deal.
Your gallery comes with helpful perks to encourage you to print your favorites while they’re fresh in your mind:
- 20% Early Bird Discount – For the first 2 weeks after delivery
- 25% Abandoned Cart Discount – If you start an order but don’t finish
- 30% Final Month Discount – One last chance to save before your gallery expires
All reminders are automatic and low-pressure—just helpful nudges so you don’t miss out.
Support After Delivery
You’re not on your own once the gallery lands.
After you receive your gallery, I’ll send a short follow-up to see how everything landed for you. You’ll have a chance to:
- Share how the session felt
- Let me know what you loved—or what felt confusing
- Ask for help with anything print/download related
This isn’t a public review moment—it’s just me checking in to make sure your experience felt complete. And if anything feels off? I’ll make it right. Always. (Yes, that was a Harry Potter reference.)
If everything feels amazing and you’re happy with your images, I’ll invite you to leave a review—and yes, there’s usually a little thank-you gift involved. 😉
💬 Got a question about your gallery or a product? Just reply to the delivery email—I’ll be right there.
What Happens Next Is Up to You
(But I’ll be right here if you need me.)
The session might be over, but the story’s still unfolding. This next part—where you revisit the little in-between moments, hold onto them, and let them live in your home—is where the magic settles in.
Whether you’re downloading your favorites tonight, printing gifts for your people, or just staring at that one photo that made you feel something—you’re doing it right.
Take your time. Ask questions. Celebrate what you captured. And if you’re already dreaming of next time?
Well... you know where to find me.
