I’ve been meaning to share something for a while now, so here it goes. ❤️
If you’ve noticed, I haven’t been sharing many photos on my photography page and there is a very good reason why.
About a year ago, I stopped sharing sessions online, I just never publicly explained the why behind it.
It certainly is NOT because I haven’t had beautiful sessions to share. I have had SO many galleries that I have loved, and there have been plenty of times I’ve wanted to post a favorite image or show off a session. However, I've just gotten to the point where I don’t feel comfortable putting identifiable images of the kiddos I capture out there anymore, even with a signed release.
Over the last year, I’ve watched AI change so quickly, and honestly, some of what I’ve seen has really made me stop and think about what happens to an image once it’s online.
My photography page is public, which means once I share an image, I have very little control over who sees it, saves it, or what happens to it after that.
There are things that can be done with images now that simply weren’t a concern when I started photography, and when it comes to children, I just don’t feel comfortable taking that chance.
This is so important to me because so many of the families I photograph have been with me for years. I have watched your babies grow into big kids, watched families grow and expand, I've celebrated birthdays and milestones with you, and in some cases, I have gotten to know you well beyond being your photographer. Some of you have become really good friends.
I care about the kiddos I capture in front of my lens. I care about your families.
I know I am giving up the opportunity to share some really beautiful work, and I’m not going to lie, I hate that part. I love my work, I am proud of it, and I love showing it off!
But I would rather look back and know I was overly cautious with the images I was trusted with, than wish I had been.
So this is something I’m going to continue doing moving forward. I will still share my work, but I will be much more intentional about what I put on my public pages. You may still see family images where children aren’t identifiable, little details, silhouettes, or other images that allow me to share the story without putting a child’s face out there.
The goal is simple: I want to keep creating and sharing my work while doing everything I reasonably can to protect the children in front of my camera.
And to everyone who continues to book with me; whether you are a new client, someone I’ve worked with for a few years, or one of the families who has been with me for what feels like forever... thank you. Thank you for continuing to trust me to capture your families, your milestones, and your memories. Your support means more to me than you realize, and I’m so grateful I get to keep doing this with you. ❤️
