You know that moment when a client pulls out their phone and opens their Pinterest saves? “This is exactly what I want to do after our shoot,” while showing a gallery wall that's flawless and meticulously curated.
Gallery walls have become super popular, but most people feel a little unsure about tackling one on their own. And, there's nothing worse than a crooked, uneven gallery wall that you tried to DIY...only to cringe a little every time you walk past it.
This paves the way for a valuable upsell opportunity that many photographers are leaving on the table. While they focus on selling individual prints and digitals, both clients and designers are stepping in to complete the visual story - an opportunity photographers could easily claim for themselves.
You already understand composition, visual balance, and which images will work beautifully together. We provide a simple way for you to curate and sell the gallery wall, confidently.
Why Your Clients Need You (More Than They Realize)
Clients everywhere are facing the tragic dilemma of blank walls and sterile home environments, all because of daunting selection variety, or loving each and every shot from the session because you are just too good. Decision fatigue gets the best of us, are we right?
“Should the frames match?”
“How far apart should these photos be?”
“What if it looks off after it's up?”
Plus, the fear of making an expensive mistake is real.
And this is where you come in.

Wall Previews for Refreshing Simplicity
Ready for this? Here's how simple it really gets:
Step 1: In your Online Ordering catalog, click "Wall Preview," then "Your Rooms" and upload a photo of the client's space.
Step 2: Enter the width of something in the room (like a couch, window, etc) for scale, add a room description, and save.
