Hi Danielle, I’m sorry I missed your comment earlier! Like with everything else, there’s no one-size-fits all solution to the image reveal step. I send a “preview gallery” (Shootproof) when the clients’ gallery is ready and we schedule the ordering session within four days. Then the first thing I do at the ordering session is show them a slideshow of the images set to music (Animoto). Many people feel that the emotional impact of showing the images for the first time at the ordering session is super important and that that’s the only way to do it. For me, I feel that that puts a lot of pressure on the client to make a snap decision, and I want them to spend some time with the images (and fall in love) on their own time before they have to decide what to buy. Doing it this way also allows me to schedule the sessions at a time that’s more convenient for me — usually mid-day during the week. Sometimes both mom and dad are there, but if only one can make it, the other has had a chance to see the images and give the former authority to make a final decision. Hope that helps — feel free to ask any other questions you might have!
