YOUR IMAGES & YOUR PRIVACY -
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PHOTO RELEASES
Many of my clients are proud to show off their images to encourage and empower other women to do their own boudoir sessions. And some prefer to keep their images completely private. The beauty in it all? It’s completely up to you.
Privacy is a big freaking deal, especially in this House. Your images will never, in the words of Michael Scott, “Ever, for any reason… no matter what, no matter where, or who… for any reason whatsoever” be shared with the outside world without your explicit and written consent.
Whether you choose to share limited images with complete anonymity or choose to show off your gorgeous self to inspire other women, there is a release option that will suit you.
WhAT IS A MODEL RELEASE?
A model release is a legal agreement that allows The Fifth House Boudoir to use images in an online portfolio including website galleries, social media, email list, in-studio albums/artwork and for advertising purposes. Believe me, I have worked in the corporate realm, so I understand the need for anonymity. I’ve also worked with a vast range of women – from stay-at-home mamas, to doctors, pharmacists, attorneys, teachers, nurses, CEOs—the list goes on & on. Each woman has individually made the choice to share her images or keep them private and that decision has 100% been her’s to make.
You are here now… I’m assuming intrigued… because you saw some images of these fierce goddesses. Perhaps you’ve even thought, “I could never pull that off…”. Please know, that yes you can. The women in my images are proof. Even more so, many of these women had the same thoughts initially. But they decided to say yes, go for it and have all come to the unanimous decision that this experience is INCREDIBLE and so completely worth the investment. Boudoir is a gift to yourself as much as it is to anyone else, and other women who’ve shared their images have inspired YOU to be here, right now!
ARE EVERYONE’S IMAGES SHARED ONLINE?
Every woman featured in my photos is an every day woman, just like you and me, who has signed a release to legally allow me to show off her photos.
Some of my clients want to showcase all their beautifully empowering images while others desire complete privacy and anonymity. And to show you how serious I take your privacy in this House, I even offer an option for a non-disclosure agreement if needed.
YOUR PHOTO RELEASE OPTIONS
Full Model Release – Show off all my images!
Partial Model Release – Show me off, but I want to have a say in which ones you show.
Anonymous Model Release – Show me off, but only the images that do not showcase my full face / eyes.
- No Release – Keep my photos 100% private.
The great thing? YOU control the fate of your images and who does or doesn’t see them. While I would absolutely love to show you off and inspire others, that decision rests firmly in your hands. You’ll be presented with the Model Release form during our online viewing, and you’ll be able to make your selection at that time.
Please note: if do you opt to release your images for any type of release, there are not any guarantees on who will or won’t see them. Please consider carefully before signing your release!
