Being part of a photography blog feature by Zorz Studios isn’t just a flattering pat on the back—it’s an opportunity to have your shoot turned into something extraordinary, celebrated, and immortalized in a way few ever get. From jaw-dropping retouching upgrades to meaningful storytelling and even media exposure, the perks go far beyond the standard experience of a typical gallery delivery.

That said, I believe in transparency, so I’ll also walk you through a few things to consider before giving the green light. To make it super clear, I’ve even laid it all out in a side-by-side comparison below. Let’s see what makes a photography blog feature truly legendary.
Perks of Being Blogged by Zorz Studios
Look, I don’t just blog about anyone. Only about 1 in 10 of my shoots becomes a photography blog feature—and if you’re reading this, you’re on the shortlist.
But beyond the warm fuzzy feelings of being chosen, here’s why it’s actually a big deal (and why you may want to say, “Yes, please, feature us!”):
💎1. You Get a Lot More Images… Retouched, Not Just Edited
My blog is my personal storytelling playground. I go all in—not just the 5–20 enhanced images you’d normally get from the standard packages. For photography blog features, I usually do 30–100 full retouches. That’s high-end work (see retouching differences here).
Clients normally pay $30 per image for this level. If your session becomes a feature, I often gift them to you. So yes, that’s hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars saved, just for letting me tell your story.
🔥 2. A Potential Signature-Level Masterpiece—Free
Knowing I’ll be crafting a photography blog feature also lights a fire under me to go the extra artistic mile. Occasionally, a photo speaks to me so strongly that I push it beyond even the Enhanced state—into what I call Signature-level work (retouching levels explained here).
That kind of retouching usually is a $100+ service. But when I feel that inspiration during blog prep, I’ll just do it—and gift it. That image would never be given away for free otherwise.
🏆 3. Welcome to the Legends of Zorz Studios
I’ve shot thousands of sessions over 20 years. But only a few become worthy of a photography blog feature. Why? Because my blog isn’t a quick image dump with two paragraphs. I spend hours researching, writing, and weaving your story into a rich, 1,000–2,000 word narrative. See for yourself in my recent posts.
Being featured is like joining a VIP club—exclusive, carefully curated, and forever part of Zorz Studios history.
🎁 4. Earn Points Toward Future Discounts
As a little bonus for letting me feature your shoot, you’ll earn points in my upcoming Zorz Studios Loyalty Program. While the full details are still under wraps, just know that blog-featured clients will be among the first to rack up rewards—think print credits, discounts, or even a free session down the road. Being legendary pays off.
📸 5. Share-Ready Brilliance (Without Lifting a Finger)
You won’t have to think of a caption, organize a carousel, or fumble with filters. You get a fully crafted, beautifully written photography blog feature that you can instantly share with friends, family, coworkers, or social followers.
It’s your own personal feature article—and you didn’t have to write a word.
📖 6. Your Story, Immortalized
This isn’t a disappearing story or a buried social post. It’s a searchable, permanent chapter in both your story and mine. You’ll always have your photography blog feature to revisit, relive, and even pass down.
📣 7. Run a Business, Cause, or Movement? Let’s Promote It
If you’ve got something to promote—a business, a fundraiser, a nonprofit, a unicorn adoption center—I’m happy to shout it out. With a link. And some love.
Fun fact: My site has a solid Domain Authority (DA) score, meaning those backlinks are actually valuable. Marketing agencies pay me to publish guest posts with those kinds of links. You? You get it for free.
🧠 8. Behind-the-Scenes Insight
Each photography blog feature often includes artistic insights, creative process notes, and behind-the-lens moments—giving you a deeper appreciation of your shoot. It’s like an annotated director’s cut of your session.
📰 9. Bigger Exposure (Literally)
Sometimes, these features catch the attention of major publications. Past sessions have been picked up by:
- PopSugar
- The Knot
- Philly Magazine
- Huffington Post
- Cosmopolitan
- South Asian Bride
- Maharani Weddings, and many more.
No guarantees—but it happens. And when it does, your story rides that wave, too, provided you wish to. I’ll easily tell them “no” if you say so.
🧬 10. Legacy in the Zorz Portfolio
As a featured client, you become part of the curated timeline of Zorz Studios’ evolution. Future clients, industry collaborators, and even publishers see your shoot as part of the artistic journey that shaped the studio—all through the lens of your photography blog feature.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind (Just So We’re Fair)
To keep it fair and transparent, here are a few little considerations. Think of them as the fine print, but without the fine print energy. More like friendly heads-ups:
⏳ Slower Turnaround (But Worth the Wait)
A typical shoot? You get your gallery within 1–2 weeks.
A photography blog feature? You’re in the VIP lane… but with a scenic detour. Between the deeper edits and intense writing, the post may go live about a month after your shoot.
This is storytelling with soul, not a TikTok filter.
🧐 I Pick the Images (Trust Me on This One)
You won’t be choosing the images that go into the blog—I will. But here’s why: I’ve done this for 20 years. I often see something raw in an image—something you might scroll past—that I can turn into jaw-dropping gold with retouching.
Also, I know what grabs attention in the industry: editorial-worthy, emotion-rich, sometimes unexpected gems.
Still, I’m human. If I ever pick a shot you’re not comfy with (happens rarely), just say the word—I’ll take it down, no fuss.
✍️ No Formal Approvals (This Is My Art, After All)
This isn’t a committee production. Once it’s live, there’s no major editing or approval process. It’s my creative baby, shaped by your beauty, chaos, and charisma.
That said, if I accidentally get a fact wrong or misrepresent something? I’m more than happy to fix it.
If necessary, you even get a heads-up before it goes public, so you’re one of the first to see it.
🔒 Privacy Matters, Too
If privacy is a concern, I totally understand. I’m happy to anonymize your blog feature—omitting names (or using pseudonyms), personal details, and links—so it reads more like a creative case study than a personal story. It still gets the artistic spotlight while respecting your boundaries.
Only you and I will know who’s really behind the veil.
💸 Extra Images = Free. But Extra Extras? Standard Rate.
I’ll give you way more retouched images than your package includes—completely on the house. If you fall in love with a few more and want them enhanced too? No problem. Those would be billed at the usual $30 per image, just like any custom order.
📚 It’s Forever (Pretty Much)
These photography blog feature posts are a piece of my creative legacy. Each one takes days of work and becomes part of my brand’s story. So, once it’s live, it stays live—unless there’s a rare and serious reason (like a heartbreaking life event).
Basically, if you commit, think of it as a timeless time capsule.
