EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Going forward, I will no longer be publicly posting photographs from sessions involving babies or small minor children on my business page or social media.
With how rapidly AI technology is advancing and how easily an innocent photograph of a child can be taken, manipulated, and turned into something it was never intended to be, I no longer feel comfortable putting my youngest clients at that risk.
As a photographer, I absolutely love sharing my work. But protecting the children trusted to me and respecting their privacy is far more important than anything I could gain from posting their photos.
I will still photograph babies, children, and families as usual. You will still receive your full gallery and are free to share your own photographs however you choose. I simply will not be using identifiable images of minors for my own public advertising or social media moving forward.
AI has created possibilities that I genuinely never thought we would have to consider when posting an innocent photograph of a child online. The fact that someone’s family photo, newborn portrait, or picture of their child can be taken without their knowledge and manipulated into exploitative or sexualized AI-generated content is enough for me to draw this boundary.
Until there are stronger protections and I feel confident that publicly sharing these images is worth the risk, this is the decision I am making for my business.
It makes me incredibly sad that this is even something parents and photographers have to think about, but this is the reality of the internet we live in.
No amount of engagement, advertising, portfolio building, or business exposure is worth potentially putting a child at risk.
Their privacy and safety will always matter more than my portfolio.
