Capturing Sunshine Portraits

🚨 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 🚨

I will no longer be posting identifiable photos of children’s faces on my personal or photography page. Signed release or not.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it stays within the home. So, we should probably talk about the recent federal court ruling involving AI-generated child sexual abuse material.. The court ruled that the federal government cannot criminalize the private, in-home possession of obscene AI-generated CSAM under the statute at issue
so anyone can go and use any picture of a child’s face or body and make child sexual abuse material and it is completely LEGAL.

That is enough for me to say I will not be a part of the problem. If our government and laws aren’t going to adequately protect children from what AI can do with their images, then I feel a responsibility to do my part to protect them.

Remember, you are enough just as you are. Embrace your journey and recognize your inherent worth. Keep moving forward with confidence.

Most people are waiting for a bigger blessing before they start saying, “Thank You.”

But maybe the bigger blessing is waiting for a grateful heart.

The more you appreciate what you already have, the more beautiful life begins to feel. Not because you suddenly have more—but because you finally see how much you’ve already been given.

Gratitude turns “I have nothing” into “I have enough.”

What’s one thing you’re thankful for today? 🌼🤍
