And how much on average are we talking about a custom gallery plugin for wordpress?

Yeah I can't see that happening at my level.. lol.

I think for now my best option is to just utilize Envira for the showcasing of my work and the basic proofing portion on a password protected page. I could also just host the images on dropbox and let clients make their own comments / requests.

For the e-commerce thing eventually I could setup a sub-domain with Envira / woocommerce (shop.timenarc.com) and then try to do it from there but after thinking about it I think most folks would probably prefer to just pay through Amazon Handmade or Etsy since they are well-known versus paying through someone's personal site - which adds the costs of time and effort with getting SSL certificates, really securing the site and setting up payment gateways.

On a side note you may want to check your website... I'm getting a 404 error when I hit your link.

And how much does something like that run on the proofing / retouching custom gallery? I think I've given up on the E-Commerce and will just point to an Etsy store link or an Amazon Handmade link. Easier on me.

Do you have any examples or a demo site? I don't mind paying for something that looks professionally done and is easy to manage but remember that I'm a new photographer so I need a solution that won't break the bank.. lol.

The scary thing to me about that demo is that it's very quick, as if they won't want you to see that it's not a complete turnkey solution. Just having a button to add a standard item I think I can do that for free with WPShoppingCart but I'm looking for something to setup a pricing listing for various options for a print such as size, mats, framing, etc...

They may be able to solve my gallery issue but I'm not convinced about the e-commerce portion.

I see that it has a woocommerce integration but it's not baked into the gallery itself. Do you know of an example / demo of this anywhere so that I can see what the shopping experience is like?

It was indeed resolved with a z index addition as shown below:

.site-header {
background-color: #000;
color: #999;
float: left;
height: 100%;
padding-top: 40px;
padding-top: 4rem;
position: fixed;
z-index: 99;
text-align: center;
width: 240px;
}
