You’ve had your session, the laughter and snuggles have been captured, and now the question is—when do I get my photos?!

I get it. Once the session magic is done, the wait for your gallery can feel like forever. So here’s a breakdown of exactly what to expect after your session with me:

✨ Sneak Peeks – A Little Preview Magic

Once I begin editing your session, I’ll share a sneak peek on Instagram Stories (@photosbykellylynn) to give you a little taste of what’s coming. This usually happens about one week post-session, though in slower seasons it may be sooner, and during busier times (hello, fall!) it might be just a bit later. Either way, you’ll get a little preview to swoon over while I work through your full gallery.

📅 Full Gallery Delivery – Within 4 Weeks

Your full gallery will be delivered via an online, password-protected gallery within 4 weeks of your session date. I hand-edit every image with so much care and intention to ensure the final result reflects your family’s love and story.

💾 Downloading & Printing Your Images

When your gallery is ready, you’ll receive instructions to download your images in both web and high-resolution formats. You can also order professional-quality prints directly from your gallery, which is the easiest way to ensure the color and quality look just as beautiful as they do on screen.

Want to print elsewhere? You totally can—but please avoid big box labs like Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS. Instead, I highly recommend Mpix, a trusted consumer lab owned by my professional lab, Millers. Their prints are affordable and stunning in quality!

📸 Mini Session Gallery Upgrades

If you booked a mini session, you’ll receive a select number of included images, but you’ll also have the option to:

Purchase individual images for $25 each
Upgrade to your full gallery at a discounted price (you’ll see the offer right in your gallery!)

It’s the perfect way to ensure you don’t miss out on any of those sweet, candid moments.

If you have any questions about downloading, printing, or gallery access—I'm always just a message away. I can’t wait for you to relive all the joy and connection we captured together.
