How to Pick Your Photos

A Quick Guide to Choosing Your Favorites

Telling me which photos you love takes about three minutes. You tap a heart on the ones you want, and they come straight to me. If you have a special request on a certain shot, just leave me a quick note. Here is the whole thing.

Choosing Your Favorites

You can do this on your phone, tablet, or computer. There is no app to download and nothing to send. Just heart what you love.

1
Open your gallery

Click the private gallery link I emailed you. It opens right in your web browser. If it asks for your email, use the same one each time so all your picks stay in one list.

Tap the heart on the ones you love

Hover over a photo (on a phone, just tap it) and click the ♥ heart in the corner. It fills in to show it is saved. Do this for every photo you like, as many as you want.

Your picks come to me automatically

Hearted photos save on their own and appear in my account. There is nothing to send. When you are done hearting, you can simply close the gallery.

Leave a quick note

The easy way: heart the photo, then reply to my email or text me a quick description, like "the pink-shirt one outside by the field, please crop a bit tighter." I know my own photos, so a plain description is plenty.

Want to be exact? Open the photo, tap the three dots at the top, and a little file name appears (a code like 4B7A9084) with a copy button next to it. Copy that code into your note and I will land on the exact image.

No need to overthink it. A short description is all I need in most cases. The file name is just there for when two photos look almost identical and you want to point me to one exactly.
Stuck or Not Sure?

There is no wrong way to do this. If anything is confusing or you would rather talk it through, just reach out and I will walk you through it. I am glad to help you land on the photos you love most.
