Can I Share My Photos Online?
Yes! Please do! These are your session images to share with others. You can even share your gallery link if you would like. If you have any issues sharing your session images, please feel free to reach out for help.
Quality Matters | Social Media Issues
Please, please, PLEASE, do not screenshot your images to share online. You paid good money for quality images, and I want you to share them in the best way as well. Social media sites will already mess with the quality of the images uploaded already, so you need to start with quality materials upfront.
First thing’s first: Download your gallery, and back it up to another location as well! You want to make sure you have multiple copies of your full resolution images for printing, sharing, and creating, as well as for any possible technical problems. No one wants to lose all of their family photos because their computer crashes. Back up those precious files.
Since you have to post from your phone, unless you use a desktop work around, you need to first get your images onto your phone. For this you can use dropbox to send images to your dropbox app on my phone, and then save the images to your phone photos app. You can also Airdrop them to your phone from your computer, or you can direct connect your phone and computer and send them that way. There are multiple ways to transfer full resolution images to your phone. Find one that works best for you.
Once the images are on your phone, you are ready to share them on IG. When posting, click the little arrows in the bottom left corner of the image that will expand it to shot more of the image instead of just the standard IG square.
If you want to edit it, please only do so minimally. Maybe boost the sharpness just slightly to help with the quality shift that social media uploads create. Other than that, show off the images as they are, the product you paid good money to be made.
For Facebook, it’s best to upload directly from your computer. The quality is much better than when uploaded from a phone. With the images from your gallery already on your computer, this option should be a breeze!
To Credit or Not to Credit
Giving credit is completely up to you. Most likely I’ve done a sneak peak, a blog post, and possibly posted a good chunk of the images to my IG or Facebook page for portfolio reasons. You are always more than welcome to share from those outlets as well. If you want to tag me in your posts, or in the comments of your posts, please do. If not, that’s fine as well.
