I’m a wandering wonderer, a lookie-lou, a sunflower sniffer, if you will!

A little conversation I feel is important to have as a photographer who captures a lot of families and little ones. 🤍

There’s a lot of conversation happening right now about AI, images of children, and what is or isn’t constitutionally protected when it comes to the use of our images online. I’ll be honest, I’m still doing my own research and learning about what all of this means and how it may continue to evolve.

But there is one thing I don’t need to research or question:

If you ask me not to share your child’s images online, I will honor that. 100%. No questions asked.

Yes, as the photographer, I hold the copyright to the images I create. But that right will never mean more to me than your desire to protect your child and your family.

The internet can be an incredible place, but it can also be a dangerous one. And as a mom, a photographer, and someone who captures so many of your most precious memories, I understand why some families are becoming more cautious about what they put out into the world. We simply don’t know yet how AI will continue to change the digital world our children are growing up in.

I’m still figuring out what this may look like for my business moving forward. Maybe that means sharing more faceless images. Maybe it means being even more intentional about what I choose to put on social media. I don’t have all the answers yet.

But I do want you to know this:

Your family’s privacy will always be respected here.

If you’ve asked me not to share your child’s face - or not to share their images at all - you never have to worry about explaining yourself or feeling like you’re being difficult. Your wishes are enough.

Your images are safe with me.

And truly, I am so incredibly honored every time you trust me to step into your family’s life and document these little seasons for you. Whether I get to share those memories with the world or they stay tucked safely in your family’s own photo gallery, it is still a privilege I don’t take lightly.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories. 🤍

Looking for 2 seniors, 1 male and 1 female, for a FREE senior picture session. Ideally the individuals would not have the financial means to get traditional services. Individuals must be involved in some sort of extracurricular activity, any sport, choir, chess club, student council, ect. We will choose 1 person from Clinton Massie and 1 person from a surrounding school district. Recommendations from teachers, coaches, church leaders, teammates, or counselors will get first priority. With fall right around the corner we want to get dates finalized quickly so we can take advantage of the beautiful colors. Send us a message about a deserving senior that could use the help and why you think they should be chosen. We will not publish any photos or individuals name without prior consent.
