EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 🤍
I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I’ve made a decision for my photography business that I feel is really important.
Going forward, I will not be publicly posting photos from sessions that include babies or young children on my business page or social media.
I absolutely LOVE sharing my work. I love showing off your beautiful families, your babies, your milestones, and all the sweet moments I get to capture. But honestly, protecting the little ones you trust me with has to come before anything else.
With how quickly AI is advancing, it honestly scares me how easily an innocent photo of a child that was posted online can be taken, altered, and turned into something it was never meant to be. The fact that someone could take a completely innocent newborn photo or family picture and manipulate it into something inappropriate or exploitative is something I just cannot ignore.
That is not a risk I am willing to take with someone else’s child just for likes, engagement, advertising, or to build my portfolio.
I will still photograph babies, children, and families! Nothing about my actual sessions is changing. You will still receive your full gallery, and you are absolutely welcome to share your images however you choose. 🤍
The only thing changing is that I will no longer use identifiable photos of minors for my own public advertising or social media.
It honestly makes me really sad that this is something we even have to think about. These are innocent pictures. They are memories. They are beautiful moments that families should be able to look back on without having to worry about what someone else could do with them.
But this is the reality of the internet we live in now, and as a mom and as a photographer, I feel like I have to make the choice that puts these kids first.
Until there are stronger protections in place and I feel confident that publicly sharing these images is worth the risk, this is the boundary I’m choosing for my business.
No amount of likes, shares, engagement, advertising, or portfolio building is worth potentially putting a child at risk.
Their privacy and safety will always matter more to me than my portfolio. 🤍
Thank you to all of my clients for trusting me with your most precious people. That trust means more to me than any photograph I could ever post.
