There are several premium plugins available that also offer Client Proofing workflow options, but PixProof is a free plugin and adds a nice proofing option.

When you return from a client photography session you will simply add a new gallery.  Upload the images to the PixProof gallery area as you see below:

You client will be able to view this gallery using the unique url and password you sent them.  They can view the gallery and select the images that appeal to them.

You then can begin removing images from the gallery to end up with a curated selection of images that your client can purchase!
