5. Email Marketing
If you join our email list, you may receive photography tips, promotions, updates, and offers. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
6. Minors
Because we photograph high school seniors, we may collect personal information about minors while booking and delivering sessions. When a client is under 18, we obtain consent from a parent or guardian, and we ask that a parent or guardian be involved in scheduling and communication. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or direct marketing to them. If you are a parent or guardian and would like to review or request deletion of your child's information, please contact us at the email below.
7. How We Handle Your Photos
Personal images captured during your session are handled with care. How your photos may be used, including any use in our portfolio, on social media, or in marketing, is governed by the client service agreement you sign before your session, not by this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about image usage, please refer to your agreement or contact us.
8. Data Security
We take appropriate measures to protect your information. No online transmission is 100% secure, but we do our best to guard your data.
9. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as needed to provide our services, maintain our business records, and meet legal obligations. Session images may be archived for a limited time after delivery so we can assist with reprints or replacement galleries.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
Access the personal data we have about you
Request correction or deletion
Opt out of marketing communications
We are happy to honor these requests for anyone who asks, regardless of where you live. To exercise your rights, contact: megan.bowers.images@gmail.com

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The updated date will always be listed at the top of this page.
