How to download your pass photo gallery images
Yay! Your pictures are finally ready! You’ve received an email with a link to your gallery. I use a system called PASS to share my clients final images with them. Their galleries are beautiful and easy to use. My clients are able to mark their favorite images, share them with friends and family to download, and order prints and albums all in one place. However, if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed and are unsure on how exactly to to navigate your gallery, this guide is for you. Reading instructions not your thing? Don’t worry! I’ve attached video instructions below as well!

written instructionsOPENING YOUR GALLERY
To open your gallery, you simply click on the View Photos button in the email you received in order to open it in a web browser. When the gallery opens, you should see a request for you to enter your name and email.
Scrolling
Once you enter your name and email, you should in and able to see all of your beautiful images. You can click an image to view it larger.
If you have had multiple sessions with me, you might notice that your gallery is split into sub-categories named according to the session type/date containing all the images from that session. Your most recent session should be at the top. However, if you hover over the “gallery button” in the main menu, you should be able to jump to a specific session.
Your Faves
If you want to mark your favorite images, click the heart icon. You can do this a couple of different ways:
1) While viewing the gallery, hover over an image you want to favorite. Some icons will pop up at the bottom of the image. Click the Heart.
OR
2) Click on an image to view it full screen. Then, click the heart at the bottom of the image.
downloading images
There are two ways to download your images:
1.) One at a time
OR
2.) All Images Together
TO DOWNLOAD IMAGES ONE AT A TIME:
1) Hover over an image you want to download
2) Click the Download icon (it looks like an arrow pointing down). This will add the photo to a download queue.
3) If you want to download multiple images, continue clicking the download icon for any other images you want.
TO DOWNLOAD IMAGES ALL TOGETHER:
1) Click the download icon (arrow pointing down) at the top right corner of the gallery.
2) Select an option. You have three choices here:
Multiple Selection: Will allow you to check the specific photos you want to download, letting you download all your favorites at once
Download Full Gallery – High-Res: Download all photos in the gallery in full, high-resolution
3) Select whether you want the folder of images to save to your computer or Dropbox.
4) Click the .zip file link to download it.
5) Once the .zip file downloads to your computer or phone, open it and select Extract All. This will save all the images in your gallery to your computer.
ordering prints or products
One of the best parts of PASS is it allows you to order professional-grade prints and products directly from your gallery. No more downloading just to re-upload to another site! These prints or products will be produced by a professional print shop and shipped directly to your doorstep!
To order prints or products, follow the instructions below:
1) Hover over or click on the image you want to print and click Buy in the bottom right corner of the image.
2) You should be able to select the products or prints you want of that image.
3) Enter the quantity you want to order.
4) Click “Add to Cart.”
5) Once you have chosen all the photos you would like to print, click the shopping cart in the top right hand corner of the gallery. There will be a number next to it indicating how many products you are ordering.
6) Insert your Address
7) Click “Place Order”
8) Enter Payment Information.
After that, all you have to do is sit and wait for the products and prints to be delivered straight to your door.
Sharing images
To share the images with friends and family, I suggest sending the link/URL to your gallery. I also recommend not using the Share Photo button on social media, because it will share the photo and post your entire gallery link, which you may not want to do.
