Gallery FAQs
Galleries are best viewed on a monitor.
Important suggestions before you visit your galleries:
1. View the Selects Gallery before the All Photos Gallery. This will feel less overwhelming than viewing all of your photos all at once for the first time!
2. Be sure to skim the FAQs below to best navigate your gallery.
How long will my web page be available?
Your web page on danasiles.com is permanent, and future galleries will be added to the same page. I look forward to building your page over time! (Note: If you'd like to rename your URL, please let me know before sharing the page.)
How may I share the galleries with friends and family?
You can share the link to your web page with anyone you'd like. This will give them access to all the galleries on your page.
What are the differences between the ALL PHOTOS gallery and the SELECTS gallery?
All Photos Gallery: Lightly edited "proofs," not final quality; Expires one year from publication; Best for creating Favorites Lists & ordering photos; Not intended for social-sharing; Password protection available upon request.
Dana's Selects Gallery: Carefully edited, final quality images; Social-sharing enabled; Permanent gallery.
How do you define your SELECTS?
To help guide your decisions, I select the strongest image(s) from each scenario based on qualities such as technicality, composition, energy, emotional value, facial expressions, and variety. While my selection serves as a starting point, you're welcome to prefer different versions. Each SELECT photo is carefully edited for online presentation and printing, and the same care applies to any ordered prints, albums, or social media images. Subtle variations of the same subject may be included—look closely for differences in color vs. black-and-white, background focus, or hand placement. Note: Occasionally, I include photos with less flattering expressions because they reflect quintessential character moments or capture meaningful reactions or memories, like a shared joke or special moment.
How do you choose the prints included in my Coverage/Collection?
I curate "print-worthy" images from the SELECTS gallery based on quality, your preferences, and storytelling potential. While I make the initial selection, future prints and albums will be collaborative projects.
How can I download my images?
Both the ALL PHOTOS and SELECTS galleries are downloadable. For privacy, downloads require an email address and a PIN. The download option expires after use.
Can I order photos in color or black & white?
Yes! All photographs are available in both color and black-and-white. I typically recommend the version shown in the gallery.
Can photos be cropped, retouched, or adjusted for brightness?
Photos ordered for albums and prints are further edited to ensure maximum quality, including color correction, burning, dodging, retouching, and cropping. Special retouching requests may incur additional fees. Final edits depend on how the photo will be used, its size, and the paper surface. For specific requests, please add notes to the photo in your Favorites List.
How do I make a Favorites List?*
Desktop: Click the heart icon on the right side (between the cart and Help).
Mobile/Tablet: Click the menu icon (three lines), then select the heart icon (Favorites).
Enter Email and click Let's Go!
Click + Create a new favorites list
Add a title and description, then click Create.
How do I add photos to my Favorites List(s)?*
Desktop (collage view): Hover over a photo and click the heart icon in the top-right corner.
Desktop (single photo view): Click the heart icon above the photo.
Mobile/Tablet: Tap the photo, then tap the heart icon at the bottom-right corner.
Choose the list you'd like to add the photo to, or create a new list. You can also click the "Add Note" icon to include special instructions. Once your list is ready, email me so I can review it. Tip: Create separate lists for albums, prints, framing, gifts, etc. You can move photos between lists and include notes for special requests.
What are my options for albums, prints, framing, holiday cards, etc?
When viewing your gallery, click the PRINT STORE link at the top-right corner to explore available options. You can also access the store by selecting BUY PHOTO for individual images.
How do I go about selecting photos for my album, print orders, framing or for gifts?
Great question! Check out the NEXT STEPS page for guidance.
Do you require a minimum order?
No, there is no minimum required.
How long are rates guaranteed?
Rates and turnaround times are guaranteed for six months from your wedding, event, or session date. I recommend securing album and print orders within this period.
Do I have to order prints now?
No, you can order prints anytime. However, it's easiest while your ALL PHOTOS gallery is active, so I suggest placing orders within the first year. You can extend your ALL PHOTOS gallery for $50 per year.
Can I order digital files for social media?
Yes, digital files are available for purchase with a small watermark in the corner. Before ordering, check the SELECTS gallery, as it already includes several images ready for social sharing.
