Cookies & Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and gather usage information. We use cookies and analytics tools to measure traffic and improve your experience. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Website may not work as intended if you do. You can also learn about opting out of Google Analytics at Google's opt-out page.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Website and our business — for example, our website platform, form and email providers, and analytics services. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their services. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide our services, and meet legal or record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Your Choices & Rights
You may request to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may opt out of receiving non-essential communications from us at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a child is photographed as part of a family or event session, that is handled through the booking agreement with the parent or guardian.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
The Website may link to other websites we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
