Privacy & Safety Guidelines
ensuring these vulnerable moments stay between us.
I love documenting family stories, but I also know that posting photos online is a valid concern. I hear from so many families who worry about privacy. I want you to know that trusting me with your photos is a big deal—and what happens to them after is an even bigger one. I have noticed many families are becoming more cautious about where and how their images are shared, especially online. And you know what? I completely understand. No matter how much or how little you share, I respect your comfort level completely. I technically hold the copyrights to the images, but these photos are 100% yours to keep and cherish! I’m just here to capture the magic— not turn your family into 'content.' Your comfort is my top priority, and those memories belong to you. Even with full client consent, I am extremely selective about the images I share on social media.
Social Media Sharing
those adorable bath time snaps of your toddler might seem innocent, but sharing them online can expose your child to serious digital risks
Just a quick heads-up for photographers and parents: while those bath time photos of your toddlers are absolutely precious, it's so important to be extra careful with them. Sharing "innocent" bath time photos of your children creates serious risks that many parents overlook. Social media platforms are increasingly vigilant in their efforts to protect minors. Algorithms are aggressive, and posting bath time photos can lead to permanent account closures for violating child safety standards, regardless of your intent. Predators will also scout social media for images of children in various states of undress. (bathers, diapers, or baths)
BATHitime PHOTOSHOOT
For documentary photoshoots involving children in the bath, the cutoff age is typically 2 to 3 years, or roughly when they become toddlers and outgrow the "baby" phase. I require them to wear a swimsuit to continue this style of photography beyond that age. Every session I shoot is unique because every family’s story is unique, and includes a pre-session questionnaire. If you’re on the fence about booking a session because of privacy concerns, I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk. No pressure, no obligations. Just an open conversation.
