Note on DSC_0412

“Love this one. Could you soften the shadow on the left?”

Why it works

Proofing that fits a portrait package.

Whether your package includes five retouched images or fifty, the picks come back clean.

  • Set the number included

    Ask for exactly what your package covers. Clients see their progress, and are asked to confirm if they go over.

  • Notes on the frame

    “Soften the shadow under the eyes.” Retouching notes arrive on the photo they’re about.

  • Choose on the sofa

    Clients pick on their phone, in their own time, with no app and no sign-up.

  • Retouch from a checklist

    Picks arrive in Selections with filenames. Tick each one as you finish it.

  • Deliver in batches

    Send the first finished images while you work on the rest, all in the same gallery.

  • Another pass, if needed

    A client can send a final back with a note. It returns to your list, and your next delivery replaces it.

How it works

From session to finished portraits.

  1. 1

    Upload the proofs

    Share the whole session, or just your first cull, in a private gallery.

  2. 2

    Ask for picks

    Set the number your package includes and a deadline for choosing.

  3. 3

    Client chooses

    They heart the frames they love and add retouching notes where it matters.

  4. 4

    Deliver the finals

    Retouched files replace the proofs by filename. Your client gets an email.

Why it matters

Proofing is where portrait sessions stall.

Clients love the session, then freeze when asked to choose. Too many options, no sense of how many they’re allowed, and no deadline means the gallery sits unopened while your editing queue waits.

A clear number, a clear date and a simple way to choose fixes most of that. SendShoot shows clients how many they’ve picked against the number you asked for, sends a reminder before the deadline if you switch it on, and lets you remind a quiet client in one click. If they pick more than your package includes, SendShoot asks them to confirm before sending, and you can agree any extras with them directly.

FAQ

Questions photographers ask.

Yes. That’s what client proofing is for. They heart their choices, add notes, and send you the list. You retouch from it.

The number you set is a guide. Clients see their progress, and SendShoot asks them to confirm if they send more or fewer than you asked for. Extras are for you to agree with them.

SendShoot doesn’t add watermarks. Instead you control downloads per shoot. Set proofs to view only, then turn downloads on when the finals are delivered.

No. They open your link and type a 4-digit passcode once. Their phone remembers it for 30 days.
