MY PHOTOGRAPHY PRIVACY POLICY
I take my job as a family and portrait photographer very seriously. Your comfort is the main priority. Discretion is something you should expect with your photographer. Your career and your private life may depend on it. I’m not going to be the one to jeopardize that. I promise. Clients who choose to allow me to share their images sign a release form giving me written permission. If you are okay with your images being on social media/website, please bring it up at the ordering session.
Some clients love to have their images and the effort they put in shown off on social media and my website. If you are one of these clients, I would LOVE to use your images. I appreciate every client who allows this.
I really means a lot to me when I can share images like this with my customers.
WHAT IF I ONLY WANT A FEW PHOTOS SHOWN?
That’s great. Let me know which ones and I will gladly keep the others private! I will be forever appreciative as well. Some of the images I take yo can’t really tell who is in the photo. The most private clients allow these to be shown as their privacy remains in tact.
Here’s an example of not being able to see who is in the photo.
WHAT IS ON THE RELEASE FORM?
It says I have permission to share the images where I want. I can use them on social media, my website, other forms of advertising, and competition. If you choose to only allow certain images to be shown, we will add an addendum to the release form stating which ones you allow. I follow that addendum to a tee. I promise.
WHAT ABOUT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS OF THE PHOTOS?
With the purchase of an album, digital files are included. I upload these images onto an online gallery where you can download them. The gallery is completely private.
I am the only one who has access to it and I can't share anything prior to emailing the client the link. I know who logs into the gallery and when they last logged in.
The gallery expires after two weeks. The client is to have downloaded AND backed up the images. At expiration, I delete the images from the online gallery. They are backed up on my on site backup system and hard drives, but aren’t accessible to anyone except me.
CONCLUSION ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY PRIVACY POLICY
Honestly, if you really don’t want your images to be used, I won’t be offended or think less of you. My main concern is your privacy. Don’t worry in the least about pressure to use them in my portfolio. It won’t happen!
My name is Kris and I’m a portrait and family photographer based in Bonita Springs, FL that also serves Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island and Miami. Please contact me for more information.
