When parents ask me not to post photos of their kiddos, I have always respected those wishes and kept their images offline. ❤️
But after the recent ruling by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, I’ve taken an even bigger step to protect the children whose images I’m trusted with.
The court ruled that, in this specific case, privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children in the privacy of one’s home can be constitutionally protected. While the ruling is limited to the circumstances of that case, it really made me stop and think about the images of children I share publicly.
The majority of my sessions involve families and kiddos. My business pages and website are public, and once an image is online, I cannot control who sees it, who saves it, or where it may ultimately end up.
So, because I can’t control who has access to the images I share publicly, I have made the decision to remove all images of children from my Facebook business page, Instagram business page, and website.
This also means that, going forward, I will no longer be sharing sneak peeks.
My clients are more than welcome to share their precious photos from their sessions! If you choose to post, please tag me, it helps my small business tremendously through word of mouth. ❤️
If our government won’t do enough to protect children in this new digital world, then I will do what little I can to protect the children entrusted to me.
Your children’s safety will always come before my business. ❤️
