For portrait photographers
Photo delivery for portrait photographers
A portrait session ends with a tight, finished set and a client who can't wait to see it. Hand it over as one gallery link — no account for them, originals that download exactly as you exported them.

Where a portrait session actually ends
A portrait session usually wraps with a tight set of finished photos — a few dozen retouched frames, not hundreds of proofs. Your client wants to see their family, their graduate, or themselves at their best, without creating an account or learning a portal. The handoff should feel personal: a clean gallery with your studio name on it, and their photos ready to save.
Many portrait clients plan to print. When they download from shoots.page, the originals arrive byte-for-byte — the exact files you exported, at full resolution. What they take to the lab is precisely what you approved on your screen. Show them the experience first in the example portrait gallery.
The portrait workflow on shoots.page
Pick the finished set
Select your retouched JPEG, PNG or RAW files right in the browser. They stay on your computer while you set the gallery title and options, and the draft survives a page reload.
Sign in to send
A free account with Google sign-in is all it takes. Your file selection and settings carry through sign-in — nothing to re-pick.
Upload while previews build
Uploads run in resumable 8 MiB parts, so a dropped connection or a closed tab just resumes where it stopped. Thumbnails and 2,000 px previews generate in the background.
Publish and share one link
Add a password or an expiry date if the session calls for it, publish, and send the link. Your client opens it with no account at all and downloads what you released to them.
shoots.page fits your portrait work when
- You deliver tight, retouched sets rather than hundreds of unedited proofs.
- Clients should open their gallery on a phone or computer without an account.
- Downloaded files must be exactly your exported masters, ready to print.
- You want privacy controls: unlisted links, an optional password, an optional expiry date.
- You'd like optional proofing so clients star their favorites — with extra picks at a per-photo price you set, paid directly between you and the client.
