How to Automate Client Follow-Up Emails as a Photographer

You just finished editing the Rivera wedding sneak peeks, but sending the gallery link and upsell email feels impossible when you're behind on culling the Chen family session. When follow-ups slip, you lose print sales and get anxious DMs from clients wondering where their photos are.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Copying gallery links from Pixieset, drafting emails in Gmail, and tracking print orders in a spreadsheet by hand.

45 minutes per client
  1. Log into Pixieset or ShootProof to grab the unique gallery URL
  2. Switch to Gmail and write a personalized note apologizing for the delay
  3. Check your spreadsheet to see if the client has ordered prints yet
  4. Write a second email reminding them that the download link expires soon
  5. Update the CRM status from 'Editing' to 'Delivered' and add a calendar reminder

With Christine AI

The Christine Way

Text Christine a voice note or quick command while driving between shoots; she drafts, personalizes, and sends the email while logging the delivery date.

You

Voice note: 'Send the Rivera wedding sneak peeks. Link is pixieset.com/rivera24. Apologize for the 2-day delay, mention the sunset shots turned out great, and remind them prints are 20% off until Friday.'

Christine

Drafts a warm email with the link, adds the specific compliment about the sunset shots, includes the discount deadline, and sends it to Mr. and Mrs. Rivera.

You

Text: 'Who haven't I sent galleries to from last week?'

Christine

Scans your Google Sheet and replies: 'You still need to send galleries to the Tanaka headshots and the Chen family session. Both are 3 days overdue.'

Time Saved Per Week

AI Secretary

Hey, just finished the Morrison edits. Can you draft an email to Mrs. Morrison? Link is pixieset.com/morrison-fall. Tell her the bridge shot with all three kids came out perfect like she asked.
9:41 AM
Got it. I've drafted the email mentioning the bridge shot and included the gallery link. Should I also say their print credit expires in 14 days?
9:41 AM
Yes, add that. And ask them to pick their 5 favorites for the wall album by next Tuesday.
9:42 AM
Done. Email sent to Sarah Morrison. I've logged 'Gallery Delivered' in your tracker and set a reminder for next Wednesday to follow up if they haven't picked their album photos.
