• Create, edit, deliver, and archive galleries and purchased products.
• Process payments and fulfill orders.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: Vendors who help us run the business — CRM systems, email platforms, scheduling tools, cloud storage, gallery delivery services, print labs, hair and makeup artists, and payment processors. They may access information only to perform services for us.
• Legal and Safety: If we believe disclosure is required by law, court order, or governmental request, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of the Studio, our clients, or others.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: When you request or authorize us to share information.

Your Images & Model Release

Because we celebrate beauty and raw emotion, we love to share the results of our sessions. However, we respect your privacy completely.

• We will only use your images for marketing, social media, or our portfolio if you have signed a Model Release.
• For Boudoir or sensitive Fine Art portraits, we maintain the strictest confidentiality unless explicit written permission is granted.
• You may limit or withdraw consent for certain uses of your images, subject to any Model Release and any prior lawful use already made.

Cookies and Analytics

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to remember preferences, improve website performance, understand how visitors use the website, and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and may be able to opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies through available industry opt-out tools. Disabling cookies may affect website functionality.

Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Galleries and image files may be retained for a limited time unless otherwise stated in your service agreement.

After delivery, you are responsible for downloading, storing, and backing up your digital files. We recommend keeping multiple backups.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
• Opt out of marketing emails by using the "unsubscribe" link, or contact us to opt out of SMS where applicable.
• Limit or withdraw consent for certain uses of your images, subject to any Model Release and prior lawful use already made.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental or guardian consent. For minor clients such as high school seniors, a parent or guardian may be required to sign agreements and releases.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" above indicates when this Policy was last revised. Continued use of our website or services after changes become effective means you accept the updated Policy.
