I’m going to be honest—I’m incredibly disappointed.
Someone recently felt the need to report one of my photographs to Facebook for child exploitation/nudity. As a result, I temporarily lost access to my page and had restrictions placed on my account until I could file an appeal.
Thankfully, Facebook reviewed the situation and sided in my favor. But I can’t stop thinking about the fact that it could have gone the other way.
I have been in business for over 15 years. In all that time, I have never had someone do something like this. I take my work, my clients, and the images I create very seriously. I would never intentionally post something inappropriate, and I certainly don’t post images in a way that would suggest anything remotely resembling child exploitation.
I understand that photography is subjective. I understand that certain types of photography may not be for everyone. That’s okay. You don’t have to like my work. You don’t have to follow me. You can simply keep scrolling.
What I don’t understand is risking someone’s livelihood because you personally don’t agree with or like something they create.
There is a real person behind this business. I have a family. I have children. I have clients who trust me, support me, and are genuinely happy with the work I create for them. This business is not just a social media page—it is something I have poured more than 15 years of my life, time, energy, and heart into building.
And honestly, this has made me second-guess every single thing I post.
That’s a really sad feeling when you love what you do.
I’m grateful Facebook took the time to review my appeal and recognize that the report was unfounded. But the fact that I even had to worry about losing access to something I’ve spent 15+ years building is incredibly disheartening.
If my photography isn’t for you, that’s okay. Truly. Keep scrolling. Unfollow me. Move on.
But please don’t make a serious accusation or report against someone simply because you disagree with their creative work. There are real consequences to that, and behind every small business is a real person whose livelihood is at stake.
I love what I do. I’m proud of what I’ve built. And I don’t want one person’s opinion to make me afraid to keep doing it.
But man… some days, I really do wonder if it’s worth it.
