jwestman,

E-Mail is only clunky when the image file-size is big. Reduce the physical printing size of all images, and set the resolution down to 72 PPI.

I am looking for suggestions on the best place (and cheapest) to post photos for family and friends with some level of privacy. Email is pretty clunky for sharing. I am strictly an amateur but on occasion shoot school pictures for grand kids and family portraits. I'd like to be able to post all of the "proofs" somewhere so they could choose the prints they want.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I agree with using Dropbox also. I use it all the time, I just create a folder and fill it with jpegs from my raw files and send a share attachment to whoever I want to share with. That way they can take what ever photos they want and when they are done I delete the file.

Dropbox - free, simple to use and industrial quality.

I use Shutterfly for the same reasons. It is free, convenient, easy to learn and offers unlimited space.

Shutterfly and Snapfish have many free and easy different ways you can share your photos, and your friends/family can then buy fun photo gifts with any of the images. I have also used smugmug and found it to be very tedious and difficult, I cancelled my account there. I have never used Facebook, because I don't like social media - but for strictly photo sharing it might be a perfect answer to you problem, because probably many of friends and family already know how to use it.
