So I recently did a "senior" photo shoot (with my buddy  justamistere) and she (the senior) loved them! â€Â¦
I gave her the smugmug gallery link to check out the photos and share with others. Smugmug has a social networking button with several options that will link people to the smugmug page from Facebook, email etc.
So my question is:
Is that enough?
Or should I encourage her to download watermarked images to put in her Facebook profile? I think that's what she wants to do and I want customers to be happy. I realize people could take screen-shots from the smugmug page anyway â€Â¦
I suppose I am trying to promote myself a bit (this is a part-time gig but I enjoy it on the sideof my full-time job). So do I allow/encourage sharing screen-resolution copies with watermarks?
Just curious what others think.
Thanks.
Tate

| I just had a senior portrait shoot and have been dealing with the exact same questions. I have a separate business page on facebook itself. I posted a few watermarked images on facebook and tagged her in them as kind of a sneak peek for the shoot. I'm not sure how your workflow works, I generally only do full edits on a few photos of the clients choosing. Since I don't like to post unedited work, it makes it harder for me to post the pictures before she chooses them. So I just do a few full edits of my own choosing to post as a preview of the shoot. I think it's a good idea to let them put them on just so long as you have a way of deterring them from stealing the images because then their friends get to see them and tell them which their favorites are. etc. I think people get more excited about their photos when their friends give good feedback. |

| I have my "photographic" page on Fbook too ¬ I like the idea of tagging the photos there. |

Be aware that there are now utilities for Facebook that allow users to print photos directly through various services (Walmart, Snapfish, Target, and I think one or two others). You can disallow this function, but you will have to visit each provider individually, as I understood it. |
