Why Your Privacy is my TOP Priority as your Boudoir Photographer

Let's talk privacy.

There's some discourse happening in the boudoir community right now due to a comment a photographer made to the effect of "It's not smart to piss off the person who has your noods," insinuating that she would release a client’s nude images to 'get back at' her for non-payment. 🤦🏻‍♀️

No. Nononononooooo. That's not how this works, sweaty 😅

We do not threaten to blackmail our clients with revenge p*rn (a felony in most states) because *we* didn't have solid business policies in place and now we’re mad that we didn’t get paid on time.

In light of this, I just wanted to make a quick promise to each and every one of my past and future clients and that is that I would NEVER release or show your images to ANYONE without a full signed model release.

I am very serious about this. I understand the sensitive nature of what I do and take my clients' privacy and dignity VERY seriously, and I would never DREAM of violating anyone's trust like that.

Even if you do sign a model release but you don't want your identity revealed, that’s totally fine! It’s completely up to you. I have two versions of model releases:

  • The first is a full release, meaning that you approve me sharing your GORGEOUS images on my website, blogs, social media, and elsewhere;

  • The other is a partial model release, which means that you’re cool with me sharing images from your session as long as your face isn’t visible or recognizable in the photos.

  • You can also opt out completely, and choose not to sign any release, meaning your images stay between you and me and that is IT. I will never share them outside of your reveal appointment after your session with me.

Boudoir is such an intimate form of photography that can often put you as a client in a vulnerable position where trust in your photographer is imperative, so choosing a photographer that you are positive that you can trust is so so so important.

I just want you to know that I got you, and that that's a promise. 😘

Xoxo,
