School photographers: organize galleries, access, and orders
Lisa
The key takeaway
For a school assignment, plan which photos to share, who will receive them, and which products to offer. On Pelli, you can organize galleries, configure access, and offer orders through the Pro or Ultra store.
Families want to find the photos, understand ordering options, and receive what they have chosen. Clear organization helps you meet these expectations while keeping practical control over image sharing.
🏫 Define the series and their recipients
Begin with the school by defining the planned sets: individual portraits, siblings, and class photos. Specify recipients and sharing arrangements for each. This preparation then guides your gallery organization.
On Pelli, you can protect a gallery with a password or prepare a private gallery with linked clients. The password provides shared access to those who have it. To separate sets between families, prepare the corresponding galleries and recipients.
Keep titles useful for viewing, with only the necessary information. The series name should help families find their way as soon as they open the link.
Organize images for easy viewing
Pelli’s online galleries allow photos to be organized into folders. Use them for sets you plan to share with the same audience. For an individual series, a dedicated gallery may suit your method and volume.
Before sending links, test the process as a family would. Open the gallery while signed out of your photographer account, follow the intended sign-in process, and look at the images they can actually access. This checks that your settings work as intended.
- Find the right series from the link provided.
- Understand the available images and their intended use.
- Easily identify the next ordering step.
Example: individual portraits and a class photo
Example: you have agreed with the school to send portraits to the relevant families and the class photo to a defined group. You prepare the sets and their access before writing delivery messages.
Then test the family’s viewing experience for each type of series. If the two sets use different links, simply explain which one to open for portraits and which to use for the group photo.
This preparation also gives you a method for handling questions. Provide a clear contact and identifying details that help you find the series when a family encounters a difficulty.
Make products and orders easy to understand
On Pelli, you can offer digital and physical products through the Pro or Ultra store. Describe formats, quantities, prices, and delivery precisely. A family should be able to understand the product without asking for an additional explanation.
If you enable favorites, present them as a way to identify photos. Then explain how to place an order in the store. Each step has a role that is easy to understand.
To prepare your offering, consult our guide to selling your photos online. Then check products and download settings before opening the gallery to families.
If you use a watermark on previews, select the one created in your account and check its appearance. Finally, prepare a short message with the link, instructions, delivery terms, and a closing date if your organization includes one.
✨ Your checklist before sending
Agreed sharing scope; checked recipients; tested access; described products; checked downloads; reviewed ordering message; visible support contact.
