Photographs and Videos

When you hire us for photography or video services, we collect and create photographs, video, and other visual materials as part of providing those services.

Our clients may also voluntarily provide photographs or other materials to us in connection with a session or project.

Our use of photographs and videos for marketing, advertising, promotional purposes, publication, social media, website display, studio samples, competitions, education, or other purposes is governed by the applicable agreement, model release, or other authorization signed by the client or legal guardian.

Information About Children

Because we provide photography services involving children and minors, we may collect personal information and photographs of children when provided or authorized by a parent or legal guardian.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information for independent use without appropriate parental or legal guardian involvement.

When a parent or legal guardian books a session involving a minor, the parent or legal guardian may be required to provide consent and sign our applicable model release or other agreement.

Our model release may authorize Sandy Puc' Photography to photograph the minor, retain copyright in the resulting photographs, and use authorized photographs for marketing, advertising, promotional, educational, social media, website, studio display, publication, competition, and other purposes described in the applicable release.

Parents and legal guardians should review the applicable model release carefully before signing.

We primarily use GoHighLevel to manage email marketing and related customer communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the communication or by contacting us directly.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop transactional or service-related communications, such as appointment confirmations, scheduling information, order information, or other communications necessary to provide services you have requested.

Opting out of marketing messages does not necessarily prevent us from sending necessary transactional or service-related communications.

Schedule and manage appointments
Prepare for your session

Information stored or processed through these systems may include contact information, appointment information, client communications, session details, purchase information, and other information necessary to manage our relationship with you.

We may also use other business and technology providers from time to time as reasonably necessary to operate our studio.
