AFTER YOUR SESSION
Thank you for choosing me to photograph your family! It’s a privilege to capture your family’s pictures, and I know you’ll love seeing them for years to come. It’s important to me to not only provide you with gorgeous images, but also to make the whole process as easy (and fun!) as possible for the whole family. This prep guide is a go-to resource to help your family prepare for the best possible session.
And as always, if you have specific questions I haven’t covered here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at jessica@jwbrownphotography.com.
I often post “sneak peeks” to Instagram, so be sure to follow me there!
24-Hour slideshow
Within just a couple of weeks of your session, you'll receive an email from me letting you know that your photos are ready.
Sit down with your family (and maybe pop some popcorn!) because you’ll be treated to a slideshow of your session. Families LOVE this part!
Be sure to give the slideshow some real attention! It will be open for 24-hours from the time you first view it, and the slideshow serves as your preview so that you can make a decision about which collection you’d like to purchase.
Once you’ve done that, your online gallery will be open for a full month, during which you can take your time downloading your digital files and deciding how you want to use your photo credit in the online store.
Downloading your images and ordering products
For 24-hours, you’ll have full access to your slideshow! You’ll love seeing the full gallery and reliving moments from your photoshoot. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase a collection (details below) of your choice. Each collection includes a specific number of digital images that you’ll be able to download in high resolution as well as a credit to be used toward print products like wall art, albums, and canvases.
Your high-resolution files will be available immediately after purchase, and you’ll have a whole 30 days to decide how you’d like to use your print credit.
(When in doubt, go for a keepsake album!)

Popular Products
What you're going to do with your images is perhaps the most important aspect to consider when you're planning for a photo session, but it's all too often the aspect that's overlooked... all that time and money invested deserve a better return than photos gathering dust on a hard drive somewhere. You'll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on a screen as you will seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album, so I include a substantial print credit with every collection.
Below is a sample of some of the items you can choose from:
Premium Lay-Flat AlbumS
These premium albums are printed on high-end photo paper with thick, lay-flat pages. Take layout and design off of your to-do list, because I create custom albums for each client.
10 spreads (20 pages) are included in the price below, and additional spreads (1 spread = 2 pages) can be added for $25 each.
8x8 Album: $450
10x10 Album: $600
Professional Lab Prints
You’ll never print pictures at drug stores again! Your favorite images will be professionally printed on archival quality photo paper with your choice of a semi-gloss or deep matte finish. These full bleed prints are available in a variety of sizes.

8x10: $20
11x14: $40
Framed Prints
These beautiful hardwood frames will protect your prints from damage and help them look their very best in a spot for everyone to enjoy. Frames come in your choice of barnwood, white, and black, and arrive ready to hang with all necessary hardware included.

From past JW Brown Photography clients…
“Jessica has been taking our family photos for the last year and a half and I couldn’t be happier! She works so well with my two toddlers in getting that perfect shot! I’m always so amazed at the beautiful quality of the photos and she is so accommodating to work with. Her Christmas/Holiday photos are the absolute best and it’s our family tradition now to visit the tree farm yearly for the perfect holiday card! High highly highly recommend!!”
-Kristin, CT
“We have used Jessica for our family photos for two years now and she does not disappoint! She is as skilled at getting our toddler to smile for the camera as she is at capturing the perfect moment. Jessica is an absolute pleasure and we look forward to working with her for many years to come!”
-Meredith, CT
“Jessica has photographed my family at least 4 times now and every experience has been remarkable. My husband and I are both not very photogenic people and she makes the process so comfortable and easy that you kind of forget what’s going on and the pictures turn out GREAT.”
-Heather, CT
