Portraits Without Posting

I don’t want to show my kids online.

I respect your choice to not have images shared.

Let’s be clear… you decide if your images can be shared.

There are a number of clients reaching out about sessions and asking if they have the option to not share their images. Or allow only images without their child’s face shared. The answer is always an ABSOLUTELY!

Part of the planning process is having you sign a contract, model release and pay the invoice. Then, the planning begins. The contract talks about the session details, how much will be charged based on your package choice, etc.

The model release is where you let me know what you’re comfortable with. you’ll select a

Yes, you can share the images
Yes, you can share the images
without my child’s face or other parameters
No, please don’t share the images

This way I can reference back what you’re comfortable with and ensure I am follow what you’re wanting. And you can look back too if you don't remember. You'll receive a copy once you've signed.

Ultimately, you are entrusting me to photograph your family. I want you to have a wonderful experience and get some gorgeous images not to worry about something you’re not comfortable with.


Model Calls are a little different. When I do a model call I am giving a free session in exchange for being able to use the images for advertising. There are many reasons I may ask for a model. A new set or prop, a location, workshop or mentoring session to name a few.
