Hi Sarah, the online gallery with your final edited photos is now ready! I've sent you the link and password via email. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing them.

Oh, fantastic! That was quick. I just received the email. I'm so excited to see them. Thank you!

You're very welcome. Once you've had a chance to review everything and you're happy with the results, we can finalize the payment. The remaining balance is $500.

client (Female)
Okay, sounds good. I'll take a look tonight. How would you prefer to receive the final payment?

A bank transfer works best for me, or I can send you a secure online invoice link if that's easier. Just let me know which you prefer.

client (Female)
An online invoice would be great, thank you. Also, about leaving a review, where would be the best place to do that? I'd love to share my positive experience.

That's wonderful to hear, Sarah! You can leave a review directly on my Google Business page, or if you prefer, on my Facebook page. I'll include the links in the email with the invoice.

Perfect. And just to confirm, these are high-resolution files, right? So I can print them easily?

Absolutely, all the files in the gallery are high-resolution, ready for printing. I've also included a separate folder with web-optimized versions for easy sharing online.
