This first year of being in business has taught me so much. Every session has provided teachable moments of how I can be better at what I do and how I can provide the best experience possible to my clients.
One big thing I've been on the hunt for is an ideal delivery system for my clients to view their gallery, share their favourites, and place an order on their own for desired print products. I'm happy to say I found it!
I'm now using a wonderful company called ShootProof to deliver my session galleries. Take a peek at the 30 second video below for a quick walk-through of the user experience.
The personalized link will allow you to view your gallery, download full or web resolution files, select your favorites, and share to social media platforms. It will also allow you to easily purchase high-quality prints, fine-art gallery wrapped canvas, metal prints, and custom albums.
You'll even receive a personalized app for your mobile device allowing you to do everything mentioned above. The app is also sharable with friends and family so they can view your gallery and order their own print product too.
Print Product Details
The following items are available for purchase through your gallery. Once you submit your order, it will be carefully reviewed by me to ensure accuracy of cropping and other details. Best of all, orders are shipped right to your door!
High-Quality Prints
Your prints are produced on premium-quality Kodak Supra Endura paper with a beautiful luster matte finish. Available sizes range from wallet size to 30x50". I strongly recommend printing through a professional printing lab like the one I work with to have the colour in your prints look how they were intended to look. I wrote a whole article on the vast difference between printing at different labs which you can read here.
Fine-Art Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Fine Art Canvases are Gallery Wrapped on solid stretcher-frames with a statement-making 2” profile. These come standard with sawtooth hangers and bumpers, ready for display. The unique solvent finish is resistant to moisture, fingerprints and other similar contaminants. Sizes range from 8x8" to 30x40".
Metal Prints
Metal prints are a unique medium for presenting images. The process involves infusing dye directly into a coated aluminum substrate. The end result is a vibrant impressive print with great detail and resolution. The prints have a unique extruded aluminum frame, inset on the back, which allows for a modern way to hang and display these prints. Sizes range from 5x7" to 30x40".
Metal prints are created with coated aluminum panels with a High Gloss white base that provides the brilliance of photographic paper and the added impact only a metal substrate can provide. Corners are rounded with a fashionable 1/8” radius. Metal Prints are weatherproof, moisture proof, and scratch resistant too!
Custom Albums
Adding a Custom Album to your cart will indicate you would like to start the design and proofing process for your album. Your album will be designed and delivered to you for electronic proofing until you are satisfied with the results. Pricing will be adjusted depending on the final number of pages.You will be charged for your album once your album is submitted to the lab for printing.
Lay-Flat Photo Albums are made entirely from full page spreads accurately creased in the center and bound using heat and pressure. This process results in album pages that lay completely flat, allowing images to spread across the crease. As an example, a 20 page book costs $300 and a 40 page book costs $400. You can see me flip through one of these beautiful lay-flat albums here.
Hard Cover Press Albums have pages that are strong and pliable, completely light fast (no color degradation under UV light), scratch proof and droplet resistant. As an example, a 20 page book costs $165 and a 40 page book costs $180.
I truly am excited to offer this new delivery and ordering system to my HuckleBee Photography clients. My hope is that it makes my life easier as well as yours. As always, thank you for reading and a huge thanks for all the support and love.
