Your Memories, Your Privacy
Photography is intimate. It’s a quiet invitation to step into your life and capture the moments that make it uniquely yours. And here’s what I believe deeply: your memories belong to you. Every laugh, every glance, every chaotic, love-filled second is yours- not mine. I never assume the right to share them unless you give me explicit permission.
In a world where everything so easily finds its way online, privacy is a rare luxury. Things today are moving faster than ever, with new technologies like AI changing how images, memories, and even identities are used, this sense of control feels more important than ever. Artificial intelligence is powerful, new, and undeniably a little scary. It can do amazing things, but it also raises questions about privacy, consent, and ownership. That’s why your images staying entirely yours matters so much to me. When families and couples welcome me into their lives, it’s not just a photoshoot, it’s trust. And trust, to me, is sacred.
With me, your session comes with a promise: your photos are yours first. They exist for your home, your family, your heart. They are never a marketing tool unless you choose to allow them to be. You will never find your images posted online without your consent. If your preference is to keep your moments private, they will remain just between us: safe, secure, and cherished.
That said, I also understand the desire to share a glimpse of your life without compromising privacy. For this, I create “social media safe” faceless photos, images that capture emotion, connection, and joy, without revealing identities. I’ve been doing this for years (I don’t post my own kids online, so I’m a self-proclaimed pro 😉), and it’s a beautiful compromise: the magic of your session, shared safely.
Knowing your images will stay private allows families to fully relax and be present. No posing for the camera with an eye toward likes or follows. No worrying about strangers seeing your children. Instead, the session becomes about living the moment, about laughter and love, all captured with care.
This philosophy isn’t about withholding beauty; it’s about honoring it. Some moments are meant to be held close, and I’m here to protect that intimacy. Your gallery is your treasure chest, and I take immense pride in returning it to you exactly as it was intended- yours, and yours alone.
If you’ve ever hesitated to hire a photographer because of where your images might end up, know this: privacy is built into every session with me. Whether your vision includes an heirloom album, wall art, or a personal digital gallery tucked safely away, I am here to bring it to life with elegance, warmth, and respect for your boundaries.
At the heart of my work is a simple truth: the beauty of your family is not mine to share. It is a gift you entrust me to capture, a gift I return with care, honoring your wishes, and preserving your story exactly as it should be.
If you want photographs for yourself… private, personal, and untouchable by the online world, I am the photographer for you. And if you’d like a touch of social sharing without compromise, I can do that too. Because your memories are precious. They are yours. And they deserve to stay that way.
