When you book our photography services or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any specific requests or preferences you share with us. This information is necessary to deliver our services and communicate with you effectively.
During photoshoots, we capture images that may contain your likeness, the likeness of others you bring to the session, and details about the locations where photography takes place. These images are essential to providing our core photography services and delivering your final edited photographs.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages viewed, and access times. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with our site and improve user experience.
For booking and payment processing, we collect payment details such as credit card information or bank account details. This financial information is processed securely through our payment service providers and is used solely for transaction purposes.

Unless you explicitly opt out in writing, we may use photographs from your session for promotional purposes including our portfolio, website gallery, social media accounts, print materials, and marketing campaigns. We will not disclose identifying information about clients without their specific permission.
