This is something that has felt very heavy on me since starting my business, and now I am finally putting that feeling into action.
I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children on my photography page, signed release or not.
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.
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.
Will this affect my business? I don’t care if it does. I always want to give my honest attempt at living on the correct side of history.
Moving forward, any photos featuring a child who is not yet in high school will have their face covered with a sticker, emoji, or other graphic before the image is shared publicly.
This may mean changing the way I showcase certain sessions or market my work—but I am okay with that.
The safety of children and my clients will always come before my business.🤎
