Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to me. This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and how I protect it when you visit my website, reach out about a session, or work with me as a client.

Information I Collect

When you interact with this website or my services, I may collect:

• Personal Information: your name, email address, phone number, and session details when you fill out a contact form, book a session, or sign up for my email list.
• Website Usage Data: your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This helps me understand how the site is being used and improve the experience for visitors.
• Cookies: small data files used to track website traffic and performance. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time.

How I Use Your Information

I use the information I collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and deliver photography services
• Send booking confirmations, invoices, contracts, and session updates
• Share newsletters, blog posts, and occasional promotions
• Improve the website and overall client experience

Client Photos and Image Use

Photographs created during your session are stored securely in my studio workflow. Delivered images are provided to you through a private online gallery for download.

I may use select images for portfolio purposes — on my website, social media, or in marketing materials — unless you have requested otherwise in writing prior to your session. Please refer to the model release section of my Terms and Conditions for full details on how to opt out.

Your photos will never be used to train artificial intelligence models or shared with any AI platform.

Prohibition on AI Training and Automated Scraping

All photographs, written content, and other original materials on this website are protected by copyright. You may not scrape, harvest, or collect any content from this site — including images — for use in training artificial intelligence systems, machine learning models, or any automated data collection process. This prohibition applies regardless of whether content appears to be publicly accessible.

Sharing of Information

I do not sell or rent your personal information. Your data may be shared only with:

• Service providers who help me operate my business, including website hosting, email marketing, client management, and payment processing (see Third-Party Tools below).
• Legal requirements if I am required by law to disclose information.

Third-Party Tools

I use the following tools to run my business, each with their own privacy practices:

• Google Analytics — used to understand website traffic and visitor behavior. Google may collect anonymized usage data. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out tool.
• Email Marketing — used to send newsletters and studio updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
• Client Management / CRM — I use a client management platform to handle inquiries, contracts, and invoices. Your information is stored securely within that system.
• Payment Processing — payments are processed through a third-party processor. I do not store your full payment details on my end.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but I am committed to handling your data with care.

Your Choices

You have the right to:

• Opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking “unsubscribe”
• Request access to the personal information I hold about you
• Ask me to update or delete your information

Third-Party Links

My website may link to other sites — for example, venue websites or vendor recommendations in blog posts. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with a new effective date.
