When it comes to children, nothing matters more than safety.

That includes their images.

As a parent, it’s completely natural to wonder:

  • Where are the photos stored?
  • Who has access to them?
  • How are galleries shared?
  • Are my child’s images protected?

I want to share exactly how safety and privacy are handled when I photograph your child.

Vancouver Daycare Photography: Privacy Matters

How your child's images are protected

  • Is not publicly searchable
  • Is not indexed by Google
  • Is password-protected
  • Is only accessible to the individual family

Photos are never posted publicly without explicit permission.

Private & Secure Online Galleries

send me an email ⤴

Each family receives a private gallery link with their own unique password. That gallery:

Before sharing any images I receive written or verbal consent from parents. Families can opt out entirely and they can choose whether faces are shown or not. 

If a parent prefers their child’s images not appear online, that boundary is respected fully. No questions asked.

Parent Permission

All images are stored securely on encrypted hard drives and backed up to secure, password-protected systems.

The images are not shared with third parties. Your child’s photos are treated as private family memories. Not marketing material.

 Secure Image Storage

Some large-scale school photography systems rely on broad access portals. I operate differently.

Each gallery is individualized and delivered directly to families. There are no public preview walls, no shared browsing, and no searchable student databases.

Privacy is built into the process from the start.

No Public Proofing Systems

During daycare photo days I work with centre staff, children are never left alone and photos are taken in open, supervised areas. Staff remain nearby at all times. The environment is calm, familiar and fully within the daycare's normal safety protocols.

Safe Practices

I work directly with each centre. There is no outsourcing and no third-party editing teams.

It’s personal. Intentional. Accountable.

You know who is photographing your child and who is handling the images afterward.

If you ever have questions about:
  • Storage
  • Gallery access
  • Sharing permissions
  • Data handling

You can email me directly. I am happy to walk you through every step of the process. Safety and privacy aren’t afterthoughts. They’re foundational.
