A plan that fits the grid

Put the people
in order.

A clean, import-ready shot list for the person coordinating a family, couple, or remote team photo. Start in a spreadsheet, keep permission visible, and decide what is worth making before anyone sends a portrait.

The useful middle

A shared grid
before a shared image.

Import the CSV into Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, or LibreOffice. The rows are intentionally broad: they help a group decide without collecting names, contacts, source portraits, or a private spreadsheet.

Tab-separated fallback

Paste it where
your group already works.

Why this travels: a spreadsheet is easy to forward to the person who owns the schedule, camera, or final review.

  • Import the CSV in one step.
  • Use the permission and review columns as gates, not decoration.
  • Keep the optional TogetherLens handoff separate from the working file.

Optional next step

When the grid is clear,
make the scene.

TogetherLens can combine permissioned portraits into one clearly labelled, reviewable group scene. The CSV remains useful even if the group stops here.

No Google account, spreadsheet access, contact list, or portrait upload is requested.
