To our valued clients,
Beginning August 1, 2026, we will no longer be able to store client photos and galleries indefinitely.
For the past fourteen years, we have done our best to maintain archives of your memories long after your session or event. We always hoped to keep photos available for a lifetime whenever possible. Unfortunately, the cost of data storage has increased dramatically over the years.
As a small business, what once cost us approximately $200β$300 per month to maintain has now risen to $600β$800 per month simply for storage. With inflation and rising operating expenses affecting every aspect of our business, continuing to offer long-term storage is no longer financially sustainable.
We understand the importance of your photos, which is why we strongly encourage all clients to download, back up, and safely store their images once they are delivered. We recommend keeping multiple copies on external hard drives, cloud storage services, or other backup solutions to ensure your memories remain protected.
Please note that after August 1, 2026, we cannot guarantee the availability of any previously delivered galleries or images that have not been downloaded and archived by the client.
This decision was not made lightly. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to keep providing the quality service you've come to expect while adapting to the realities of rising business costs.
Thank you for trusting us to capture your most important moments.
Andy Gonzalez Photography team
