What to Expect After Your Blog Feature

Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect after your blog feature on the Zorz Studios—what happens, when, and what you can (and can’t) do at each stage. This helps preserve the curated experience while giving you full access in due time.

1. Blog Preparation (Behind the Scenes)

Before anything is published, I spend hours selecting images, retouching beyond the package, and writing a personal narrative that reflects your story.

What you can do: Sit back and relax—this is my creative zone. If you feel like contributing, I’m happy to review your input from this form, however small or thorough.

What you can’t do yet: View or share anything, as nothing is public yet.

2. Blog Is Published (2-4 Weeks After the Shoot)

The story goes live on the Zorz Studios blog and marks the beginning of your public blog feature.
What you can do:

• View and enjoy the blog
• Correct any glaring omissions or inaccuracies
• Share the blog link (short URL like zorz.it/myfeature) with friends and family
• Share the blog using on-page Share buttons
• Share my official social media post announcing it (using the platform’s share button)

What you should hold off on:

• Downloading or reposting any individual images just yet.
• Why? This gives the blog its own moment to shine and helps preserve the curated feel of the Zorz Studios brand.

3. Facebook Album Published (3–5 Days Later)

A selection of your blog images gets published on our Facebook page to share the excitement. If it’s a deal-breaker for your blog feature, we can skip this step.
What you can do:

• View and share the Facebook album
• Optionally, add any tags we missed

4. Full Gallery Published (Same Day or Shortly After)

You’ll receive access to your full private gallery with ALL your images, edited on a Standard level and beautifully presented.
What you can do:

• View your images and invite guests
• Optionally, offer your guests the opportunity to purchase digital downloads
• Select your favorites for printing or album use
• Start your print orders
• Repost (download and re-upload) your images from the blog

If no extra favorites are needed (when having extra images from the blog is more than enough), let us know, and skip to step 7.

5. Extra Favorites Selected (If Applicable)

If you’ve selected more favorites for retouching (above what’s included), I’ll confirm and schedule them.
What you can do:

• Finalize and submit your favorites
• Request Enhanced or Signature-level edits or upgrades (optional)
  Note: Featured clients may already receive many extra retouches for free—see your perks.

6. Retouching Completed (1-3 Weeks After Sending Favorites)

I’ll finish editing any extra images you’ve selected, whether as part of your included package or as a custom request.
What you can do:

• Review and enjoy your fully retouched favorites
• Finalize prints, albums, or digital collections

7. Final Electronic Delivery

Once everything’s edited and ready, you’ll receive a downloadable archive of your images.
What you can do:

• Download and archive your images
• Create multiple backups
• Repost with full freedom
• Print to your heart’s content
• Relax knowing it’s all yours

Conclusion

This whole process isn’t just about handing over files—it’s about creating something bigger, something lasting. A blog feature becomes a legacy piece. A conversation starter. A behind-the-scenes look at your moment through my eyes and lens.

So now you know what happens after the “you’ve been featured!” message. You’ll get your time to shine, your friends will get to cheer, and then you’ll have everything in hand (and inbox) to relive it on your terms. All I ask in return is a little spotlight grace in the beginning—and we’re golden.

And hey—if you landed on this page first and skipped the part where I roll out the purple carpet, let me rewind you to the real MVP moment: the perks of being featured. That’s where the magic begins—free Enhanced-level retouching, social spotlights, artistic immortality, and a place in the Legends of Zorz Studios. Not to mention bragging rights that practically shine on their own.

Congrats on the blog feature!
