Request Not to Publish Photos in Our Marketing Channels
Right to Refuse Service
By default, we utilize our produced work in our marketing channels, such as our website, Instagram, Facebook, and others, which may include images of kids, newborns, or individuals with disabilities. However, some customers may request that their family photos not be published in our marketing mediums. Understanding individual circumstances, we offer an exclusive ownership transfer at a certain cost. Upon agreement, raw photos will be transferred to the client and promptly deleted from our storage.

We reserve the right to decline service if a customer exhibits rudeness, disrespect, or poses threats to the health and safety of our workers or other customers.
