I'm so grateful that you're here. There is nothing worse than an obviously "faked" image. Ugh. And as business owners, we are not always in a position to have an endless array of studio samples on hand in every color or selection available.
From digital mockup downloads to curated product collections, I want to see you succeed! These are the tools that I needed when. I first started and I'd love to share them with you.—
Clients invest in what they can picture.
These Photoshop mockups place heirloom albums, framed art, + prints in natural light and real rooms, so you can show your work without a studio full of samples.

Welcome
Photoshop Mockups for Photographers
Everyone always says "show what you want to sell". But what if you don't have it and the budget isn't there for a stack of luxury albums & products?
I've been in the place you are now where I had little to no real life samples of my offerings and wished I could showcase them better! One of my favorite things to do is create mockups of albums and rooms to bring your offerings to life! Digital files begin at $15 and you'll find many exciting new offerings in the months to come!

Adobe Vs. Canva
Canva has a time and place, and in my opinion, mockups are not the time or place. Part of what make my mockups unique are the realistic nature of how I incorporate the layers into the image. Have you ever seen an image on a photographer's website and you could spot the digital overlay in 2 seconds flat? I'd like to offer you a solution that communicates authenticity to your clients. Photoshop is a powerful tool that has so much more ability to create real looking photos than Canva.
Adobe Vs. Canva
How do the curated collections differ from mockup files? Curated collections are static images delivered in JPG format that feature heirloom products. There are no layers or photoshop capabilities to insert your own images into these. Think of them like stock images. Various angles and details are captured so you can showcase the beauty of these products on your website. Each collection is a curated group of 10 images that highlight different heirloom products.

Curated Collections
All products in both mockup and curated collection files are sources from the top of the line print companies.
Currently you will find products featured from these sources:
Indie Print Co.
Redtree Albums
The Photographer's Framer
Coming soon:
Musea
Album Companies

What's included in my purchase?
No. The files are labeled, and the included video walks you through the process. If you can place an image and save a file, you can use them.
single-user access
do I need to be good at photoshop?
Yes. The mockups show the style of product, and you can use them as a general presentation tool. However, if you'd like to start offering these exact products, refer to the "sources" tab in the faq here to see where my heirlooms are sourced from.
single-user access
Can I use these if I order from a different print lab?
While my own photography services are fine-tuned for motherhood portraiture, these mockups are designed to be used for all artists specializing in any genre. Wedding photographers, watercolor artistry, oil painting, digital design.... The sky is the limit!
designed for Artists
will the mockups only work for newborn, maternity, and family photography?
Please reach out! If it's something I can add, I'm happy to look into it. I also offer custom mockup creation. You send me the image of your artwork and I transform it into a mockup file for you.

what if I need a mockup you don't offer?
As soon as payment is confirmed, a download link is sent to you directly by email right after checkout. No physical items are shipped.
how do I get my files after I buy?
Because digital items are available for download immediately after purchase, I am unable to offer refunds or exchanges. If you have any questions about an item, feel free to get in touch at hello@virginiaschultzphoto.com
refund policy
What is your refund policy?
Adobe Photoshop is required to be able to use the mockup files. This is not included in your purchase. Curated product images do not require the use of photoshop and are delivered in JPG format.
What do I need to use these mockups?
They help clients picture the product in their home, which makes it easier to talk about size, finish, and what to order. Many photographers show them during a client's gallery reveal or sales session.
How do mockups help me sell albums and wall art?
You will receive your mockup file in a high resolution digital PSD format with clearly labeled layers and instructions, as well as a PDF instruction guide and a video walkthrough on using your new mockup. No physical items will be shipped.
