🚨EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY🚨 PLEASE READ

I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children on my photography page, SIGNED RELEASE OR NOT. I will be going through and removing what I do have posted as well.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it stays within the home. This included s*xual images.

That is enough for me to say I will not be a part of the problem. If our government and laws aren’t going to adequately protect children from what AI can do with their images, then I feel a responsibility to do my part to protect them.

💗As someone who wants to specialize in newborn and milestone, this will absolutely affect my business. But…

I don’t care if it does.

As a mom the safety of children and my clients will always come before my business.

Just a little reminder for anyone picking up a camera for the first time. 🤍

Start with what you have. Ask the questions. Make the mistakes. Take the bad pictures. Learn. Grow.

Nobody starts out knowing everything, and nobody should be made to feel embarrassed for being new at something.

There’s room for all of us here. I’ll choose community over competition every single time. 🤍

Okay but can we talk about how pretty the Bloomfield square is?! 🤍 It seriously makes the cutest backdrop for photos.

Cute photos + our beautiful little square = yes please.
