• To send session reminders, styling guides and delivery notifications
• To improve this website and the client experience
• To comply with tax and legal obligations

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. It is shared only as needed to deliver the services you booked:

• Professional print labs, album manufacturers and framers fulfilling your orders
• Payment processors handling retainers and balances

4. Your Photographs

• Your gallery is private and accessible through a link or password you control.
• Images are backed up in secure storage and archived for a limited period after delivery.
• We use selected images in our portfolio, website and social media only as permitted by your booking agreement.
• You may request in writing that your images not be used publicly, and we will honor that for future use.
• Sessions involving minors are only used publicly with the written permission of a parent or guardian.
• Galleries remain online for the period stated in your agreement, after which archiving fees may apply.

5. Cookies And Analytics

This site may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly and understand how visitors use it. You can control cookies in your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Communications

When you contact us or book a session you consent to be contacted by phone, email or text about your inquiry, booking and gallery. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link or by replying STOP to a text. Messages about an active booking, session logistics or gallery delivery are not marketing and will continue.

7. Data Retention

Inquiry records are retained for a reasonable follow up period. Booking agreements, releases and payment records are retained as required by tax and business law. Image archives are retained for the period described in your agreement, after which they may be deleted permanently. Always download and back up your gallery promptly.

8. Security

We apply reasonable safeguards to protect your information and images, including secure storage and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Please do not send payment card numbers or government identification numbers by email or through website forms.

• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Ask us to stop using your images publicly going forward

Contact us using the details in section 12. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

10. Children

We photograph minors regularly as part of family, senior and event sessions, always with the involvement of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect information online directly from children under 13. Parents and guardians may contact us at any time about their child's information or images.

11. Third Party Links

This site links to third party platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Maps, and your gallery is hosted by a third party provider. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
