Word Press for photographer?

I have to build a site for a photographer. She would do photo shoots for say ….families, and have a “password protected page” where each family can review their photos, purchase the ones that they want, and then the photo “masters” will be mailed to them.

I am wondering if anyone could recommend the best approach to this?
Not sure if anyone knows if this sounds like I should should lean towards “shopping cart” software, or do you think WordPress would work the best for this?

Just looking for advice. Thank you very much.
