Before diving into it… Thank you for choosing SMHerrick Photography!

Your Rights and Mine.

As a portrait and commercial photographer, it is a given, especially in today’s on-the-web and image-craving society, that I will do my best to keep the content on my website fresh and current. I do a lot of this with words and of course, photography. The words you have read and images you have seen are ultimately what brought you to this page.

I do hire models, from time to time, to pose for marketing material and images that I will use on my site. I also post images from my clients’ photo shoots. Although I try to let people know I am posting or using their portraits online, it is best to understand this policy of the studio:

Images produced by SMHerrick Photography are owned by SMHerrick Photography. The studio has the exclusive right to reproduce these images in any and all of its marketing materials.

In other words, I may use the photos and that by hiring my studio, you have given me consent to do so by hiring my studio.

But please know this…

I will never, ever, post an image that has your name, business name, address, phone, email or any other identifying information on it, or in the file. I take extreme care to remove all digital markings from photos I post online. In all reality, I do not want your information in the images, I want mine. So, each image is tagged, copyrighted, and edited to display only items I want to be displayed, such as my phone number, email, website, copyright info, and I then finish it off with specific keywords such as Senior Pictures, Business Portraits, Weddings, SMHerrick Photography, and the list would go on.

Not quite on board?

I get that the above precautions may not be sufficient. If so, please let me know and I will make sure your images do not get posted on my site.

Thank you once more. I look forward to working with you.
