3. Contact Form & Lead Management
When you submit my contact form, your information is sent securely to my client management system, Sprout Studio, which I use to organize inquiries, consultations, and bookings. Sprout Studio stores this information on my behalf so I can respond to you and manage your session. You can review Sprout Studio’s own privacy practices on their website.
4. Cookies & Analytics
My website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site function properly and to understand how visitors use it. Cookies are small files stored on your device.
I may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about website traffic and usage. This helps me improve the site. These services may set their own cookies.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how the website functions.
5. Your Photographs & Image Use
Photographs taken during your session are handled with care. Any use of your images for my portfolio, website, social media, or marketing is governed by the terms of your session agreement or model release. If you have questions or wish to adjust your image-use preferences, please contact me directly.
6. How I Protect Your Information
I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes using secure, reputable third-party services for form submissions, payments, and image delivery. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Sharing Your Information
I only share your information when necessary to provide my services, including with:
- My client management system (Sprout Studio) for handling inquiries and bookings
- Payment processors to handle transactions securely
- Service providers that help me operate my business (such as email or gallery-delivery platforms)
- Legal or government authorities when required by law
These parties are only given the information needed to perform their specific function.
8. Your Rights & Choices
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information I hold about you
- Ask me to correct or update your information
- Request that I delete your personal information, subject to any legal or contractual obligations
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, simply email me at [email protected].
9. Third-Party Links
My website may contain links to other websites, such as social media platforms or my booking system. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites, and I encourage you to read their privacy policies.
10. Children's Privacy
While I photograph children and newborns as part of my services, those sessions are always arranged through a parent or guardian. My website is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information online from anyone under the age of majority without parental involvement.
11. Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or for legal reasons. The most current version will always be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.
