⚠️Announcement - Caution, I will be blunt.⚠️
I will no longer be publicly posting identifiable images of children on my platforms.
I have been thinking about this for a LONG time, and you'll notice my lack of posting family sessions at all here lately, but after the recent Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruling regarding the world of AI and the creation and possession of child p*rnogrophy using it, I will no longer be sharing identifiable images of your kids.
I have ALWAYS asked for permission before posting families on here, but as a photographer - the creator and keeper of your families documented memories - I feel an extreme responsibility to protect your little ones innocence and privacy here. I do not take your trust in me lightly.
This has been a very difficult world to grow a photography business in right now. Posting and sharing the best of our work is what literally keeps our businesses going, this is my livelihood and what provides for my own family. I sincerely hope this won't effect my business, but protecting your families is more important than content.
Once an image is posted online, we lose complete control, this isn't new. We don't know who is saving it, using it , or what technology is feeding off of it to make it's own repulsive content - and now it's perfectly fine and legal for people to possess it. I am not willing to risk what could be , when I can make a different choice.
Now, your family session doesn't change at all. You will still receive a full stunning gallery of your family. The images and experience you receive doesn't change. I will just be treating your images with a higher level of privacy and care online.
Any images of minors shared on my socials: faces will be completely blurred, or not even visible from the angle they were taken. You will still be asked for permission, always. 🫶
I will be going through my pages (socials and website) and replacing posts with censored images, so please do not be offended if your session is deleted from my feed. This will be a long process, so give me time.
And PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, RESEARCH. LEARN! Let yourself question if your children belong on social media, be careful what you post. I respect your choice, this is just how I wish to implement mine.
Lots of love to you all, and thank you for listening.🩷
