Quick Quesiton about proofiing gallery

silvereye

So hey y'all... quick question I received this in an email today "[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Sorry, it has taken so long to get back with you. First of all, let me say when I first realized that there was only 15 pictures, I can't lie, I was slightly disappointed" The client does go on to say she loves all the images so I guess its a good thing.

The session was a 30 minute session of a single subject, her 6 month old daughter.

My question is... How many images do y'all provide in an online proofing gallery??

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

Really depends on the type of session and the time. Engagements which are at least an hour I prefer 50-100... 50 for the not so photographic couple and 100 for those we just can't get enough of. Portraits for a 30 minute'r I'd say at minimum 25 but kids can add another degree of difficulty. Did she know ahead of time what to expect image wise with the time given?

Christ on a bike... you put 100 images into a proofing gallery??? For an hour??? Lets say the typical couple shoot... maybe add one outfit chage but same location... You are getting MAX 30 images in a proofing gallery... Thats one image every minute... estimated 10-15 minutes for oufit change... How are you getting 100 images out of 60 minutes is beyond me... but ok... She was told 15 to 20 images... she got 15

Really thanks for responding... Puts things into perspective

And if she is only complaining about quantity, then you're golden!
