Photography: after a portrait gallery

For a portrait or family photographer to send after delivering the gallery, leaning into the emotion of the memories captured.

A portrait gallery is really a box of memories, and clients feel it the instant they open it. This template catches that wave of emotion and asks them to name the one image that moved them most. Copy it free and make it yours.

Subject
Your gallery is ready, {{name}}
Email body
Hi {{name}},

Your gallery is ready, and I have loved every minute of putting it together. I hope it brought a little lump to your throat the way it did for me.

If any image stopped you in your tracks, would you tell me about it in your own words? What this session meant to you, and how it felt to see these memories captured by {{product}}. No need to find perfect words, the honest feeling is exactly what matters.

I am a one-person studio, and families find me mostly through other families who treasured their photos, so your words help the right people land in front of my lens. Thank you for letting me hold onto this season for you.
