Privacy Policy
Ihm Loving Photography (“we”, “us”) is a photography studio based in Parker, Colorado. This page explains what information we collect through ihmlovingphotography.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple: we collect what we need to photograph you and run our business, and we never sell your personal information.
Information you give us
- Inquiries and bookings — your name, email, phone number, the session you’re interested in, preferred dates, and anything you tell us in your message.
- Your client portal — session details, contracts, messages, and files or photos you share with us.
- Payments — handled by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
- Photos — the images we take during your session, delivered through a private online gallery.
Information collected automatically
- Google Analytics — how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on site, general location and device type), using cookies.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — when you arrive from one of our Facebook or Instagram ads, it lets us see whether the ad led to an inquiry, so we can improve our advertising. Meta may use cookies and combine this with information it holds about you under its own policies.
- Where you came from — if you arrive from an ad or another website, your browser remembers that source for up to 30 days and includes it when you send an inquiry, so we know how you found us.
- Server and security logs — basic technical details such as IP address and browser type, kept briefly to keep the site secure and working.
We don’t send your name, email, or phone number to Google or Meta through these tools.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and schedule, photograph, and deliver your session
- To take payments and send receipts, reminders, and session updates by email or text
- To understand how people find us and improve our website and advertising
- To keep the site secure and meet our legal and tax obligations
Who we share it with
We share information only with the service providers that help us run the business, and only what they need: Stripe (payments), Google (analytics), Meta (advertising measurement), Resend and Gmail (email), Twilio (text messages), Cloudflare (website security and photo storage), and our print lab when you order prints. We may also disclose information if required by law. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Your photos
Your gallery is private and shared only with you. We’ll only feature your images in our portfolio, website, or social media with your permission.
Your choices
- Ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it — just email us.
- Analytics — you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on.
- Facebook and Instagram ads — manage how Meta uses your data in your Meta ad preferences.
- Cookies — you can block or clear cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work.
- Emails and texts — reply to let us know if you’d like to stop receiving non-essential messages.
How long we keep it
We keep client records and payment history for as long as needed to provide our services and meet tax and legal requirements. Inquiries that don’t become bookings are deleted on request.
Children
We photograph families and children, but this website isn’t directed at children and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. A parent or guardian handles bookings for minors.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Questions or requests? Email us at [email protected] or reach out through our contact page.
