Okay, I’ve been sitting on this one for a little bit because honestly… I don’t even really know how to put it into words. 💔
I had THE CUTEST twin birthday cake smash photos that I was going to share this morning. Like, seriously, they were adorable. 🥹🎂 And normally I would be so excited to post them and show everyone because I love sharing the beautiful families I get to photograph.
But after seeing just how serious things have gotten with AI, people stealing photos of children, and child predators… I just can’t bring myself to do it anymore.
So I’ve made the decision that I’m going to do my absolute best to not publicly share children’s faces anymore.
I may still share family photos where you can’t really tell who’s who, little side profiles, sweet moments of them facing their parents, details, candid shots, or blurred faces if it’s in a family shot, etc. But I don’t think I’ll be posting those straight-on, recognizable photos of your babies anymore.
And honestly… it makes me so freaking sad that this is even something we have to think about. 😭
I actually went through my own personal page and spent time looking through 12+ YEARS worth of albums of my own kids. I made all of the albums I had posted of them private so only I can see them now, and I still have more digging to do to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Because if I’m asking myself to do this for my own kids, I feel like I need to do the same for yours.
Your family and your babies’ safety will ALWAYS be my #1 priority. ❤️
And yeah… it kind of sucks from a business standpoint. 😂 Because obviously as a photographer, I need to show people what I do. Those cute little faces are what make people stop scrolling, fall in love with a session, and think, “OMG, I need to book her!”
But at the end of the day, money is not worth a child’s safety.
So I’m just going to have to get creative and figure out new ways to show you my work without putting your babies’ faces all over the internet. And I hope you’ll still trust me enough to book your family and your children’s sessions with me, even if you don’t see their faces constantly on my page.
honestly, I’d rather have a feed that shows a little less and know that I’m doing everything I can to protect the families who trust me than have the prettiest photography portfolio on the internet and wonder if I should have done more.
Your babies are more important than my portfolio. Always. 🥹❤️
I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to be honest with you guys about why you may see a change around here.
Thank you for trusting me with your families, your babies, and some of your most important memories. I truly, truly don’t take that trust lightly. 🫶🏻
And if you’ve ever let me photograph your babies, just know I’m going back through everything I can and doing my best to protect those images too. ❤️
