I saw this photo of my oldest daughter (taken on her 3rd birthday earlier this year) this morning and was reminded by her for like the 10th time that I promised her a photo shoot with balloons this week...red balloons to be exact...so, we are heading up into the high country this week to do so...I will post them in a few days...I am so excited as it has been a while since I dedicated a photo shoot to just my girls...

...

I also wanted to write a little about copyright...In this digital age, it is way to easy to take images off a website or blog...and I think that a lot of people don't realize that it is illegal to do so without the express written consent from the author or artist that was commissioned to do the work...I love having a blog and I love sharing images and sneak peeks with my clients...and I do offer digital packages and those do come with my permission to reproduce the images...It would break my heart to think that someone is taking the images off my blog or website in an unethical manner...I have too much trust in people in thinking someone doesn't do this, but have seen some things recently that opened my eyes a little more. I don't want to have to stop putting up sneak peeks or have to just post one image... Of course I LOVE doing what I do...and of course I would LOVE it if you want to show off the photos...but the photos need to be purchased in a digital package or in print in order to do so.  These are my guidelines and enforceable by our legal system.  If you would like images to share on facebook or any other networking site, please ask me and I can get you some with my logo on it~I will also start offering a package just for that.  Please please respect my art and livelihood as I would do the absolute same for you.

**All photos taken by me and posted on any of my sites are copyright heidi chowen photography, llc....It is illegal to copy, scan, save to your hard drive, print or reproduce in any manner these images without my express written consent.  Please respect my art and livelihood. Thank you.**
