A little change to how I share my work moving forward 🌷
From now on, I won’t be publicly sharing identifiable images of children’s faces on my photography page.
This is purely a portfolio and social media decision, it does not change the way I photograph or edit your session in any way. Nothing changes about your session or your gallery 🤎
I’ll continue to photograph and edit your session exactly as I always do. I won’t be changing the way I shoot, posing you differently, avoiding faces, or editing images differently because of this decision.
You will still receive your full gallery, with no images removed or altered. Once your gallery has been delivered, your images are yours to enjoy and share publicly if you wish. If you’re comfortable sharing your children’s faces publicly, you absolutely can.
This decision simply applies to what I choose to share on my own photography page, website and portfolio.
I’ve also removed/archived the majority of my existing posts while I work through this change. I may reshare some older favourites where they feel appropriate, including images where faces are naturally obscured or where I can thoughtfully minimise identifying facial features.
For my own portfolio, I’ll be looking for creative ways to share the feeling and beauty of my work while keeping children’s identities private 🌼 This will include details, silhouettes and glimpses that tell a story, but not at the expense of the children in front of my lens.
This will be a blanket business policy across all of my clients, rather than something decided on a case-by-case basis. I want to make this a clear and consistent part of how I approach sharing my work.
I’m mindful that this may change the way I showcase and market my work, and that my public portfolio may look a little different as a result. I’m comfortable with that trade-off, and I feel this is the right direction for my business.
Thank you for trusting me with your memories and for continuing to support my work 🤎 — H
