Copyright

Monique Kleidon Design & Photography retains all copyrights to all images created during client’s session. Publication of your portraits (i.e. entering in contests), selling or altering of your images without the photographer’s written permission is not permitted. It is illegal to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, or otherwise steal any image created by Monique Kleidon Design & Photography during client’s photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, social media, or hard copy images.

Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to my website/social media pages instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
