Information We Collect

When you reach out to discuss portrait photography services, we collect information that helps us deliver personalized creative work that matches your vision. This includes your contact details like name, email address, phone number, and location for scheduling sessions.

• Contact information including name, email, phone number, and address for session coordination
• Photography preferences, style choices, and creative direction details you share with us
• Session scheduling information, location preferences, and timing requirements
• Payment processing details necessary for completing transactions securely
• Communication records including emails, messages, and consultation notes to ensure we capture your vision accurately

We also collect creative preferences and style information during our consultation process. This helps us understand your vision and deliver portrait photography that truly reflects what you're looking for. During photo sessions, we naturally collect the images themselves, which become part of your creative project with us.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes in delivering exceptional portrait photography services. We use contact details to coordinate sessions, discuss creative direction, and share your completed work with you. Payment information processes transactions securely, while creative preferences guide our artistic approach to your portraits.

Communication records help us maintain consistency throughout our creative process and ensure we're meeting your expectations. We reference previous conversations to refine techniques and deliver results that align with your vision. Technical website data helps us improve how potential clients discover and engage with our portrait photography services.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We work with carefully selected service providers who help us deliver professional portrait photography services. Payment processors handle transaction security, cloud storage services protect your images, and communication platforms facilitate our consultations. These partners operate under strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your data for specified service purposes.

In some cases, we collaborate with makeup artists, stylists, or location coordinators for comprehensive portrait sessions. When this happens, we share only the information necessary for them to contribute to your creative project, and they're bound by the same privacy standards we maintain.

• Secure payment processors for transaction handling and financial security
• Professional cloud storage services for image backup and delivery systems
• Communication platforms for scheduling and creative consultation coordination
• Trusted creative collaborators like makeup artists or stylists when included in your session
• Legal authorities only when required by law or to protect legitimate business interests

Your Privacy Rights

You maintain significant control over how your personal information is handled throughout our creative partnership. These rights ensure you can make informed decisions about your data while we work together on your portrait photography project.

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us using the information provided below. We'll respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and guide you through the process. Some requests may require identity verification to protect your account security, but we'll make this as straightforward as possible.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information and creative work receives the same attention we give to capturing the perfect portrait. We use industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, ensuring your information remains secure throughout our creative process together.

Your portrait images are stored on secure, encrypted servers with restricted access limited to team members directly involved in your project. We maintain regular backups to prevent data loss while ensuring these backups receive the same security protections as primary storage systems.

• SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our systems
• Secure server infrastructure with regular security updates and monitoring
• Access controls limiting who can view your personal information and creative work
• Regular data backups with the same encryption standards as primary storage
• Incident response procedures to address any potential security concerns quickly

While we implement comprehensive security measures, we also recognize that absolute security cannot be guaranteed in any digital environment. We commit to maintaining current best practices and promptly addressing any security concerns that may arise during our work together.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your personal information and creative work for specific periods based on the type of data and our ongoing service relationship. Contact details and project communications are retained while we're actively working together and for a reasonable period afterward to address any questions or additional services you might need.

Your portrait images are typically stored for an extended period to enable future print orders, additional editing requests, or expanded creative projects. However, you can request earlier deletion of specific images or project files if you prefer not to have them retained in our systems.

Financial transaction records are kept according to legal requirements and business accounting standards. Communication records and creative consultation notes are deleted when they're no longer needed to support ongoing or potential future services, typically within two years of project completion.

Changes to Privacy Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data handling practices. When significant changes occur, we'll notify active clients directly via email and update the effective date shown at the top of this policy.

Minor clarifications or administrative updates may be made without individual notification, but we'll always maintain transparency about how your information is handled. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally, especially before beginning new creative projects with us.
