Last Updated: October 4, 2026

Bohemian Visions Studio & Gallery respects your privacy and recognizes that privacy is especially important when choosing an intimate portrait and boudoir photography studio.

This Privacy Policy explains how Bohemian Visions Studio & Gallery (“Bohemian Visions,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, protects, and shares information when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, schedule a consultation, communicate with us, purchase services or products, or otherwise interact with our business.

By using this website or voluntarily providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse our website.

Certain information is required if you choose to schedule a consultation, book photography services, purchase products, or communicate with us about becoming a client.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies.

This information may include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Approximate geographic location
  • Pages visited
  • Referring website or source
  • Time spent on pages
  • Website interactions
  • Conversion activity
  • Advertising interactions

We use this information to understand how visitors use our website, improve the client experience, evaluate marketing performance, identify technical issues, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

Analytics, Advertising, and Cookies

Bohemian Visions may use analytics and advertising technologies, including services provided by Google, to understand website traffic and measure advertising performance.

Our website may use technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tracking, cookies, pixels, or similar tools.

These technologies may collect information about how visitors interact with our website and advertisements.

Some advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising effectiveness, understand whether a visitor completed an action after interacting with an advertisement, and provide advertising based on interests or previous website activity.

You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings or through available cookie-consent controls on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

Third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

Consultation and Inquiry Information

When you submit an inquiry or schedule a consultation, we may collect information necessary to understand your photography needs and determine whether Bohemian Visions is an appropriate fit for the experience you are seeking.

This may include information about:

  • The type of session you are considering
  • Your preferred photography style
  • Your goals for the experience
  • Your preferred timeframe
  • How you discovered Bohemian Visions
  • Questions or concerns you choose to share with us

Because boudoir photography is personal in nature, we ask that you only provide information you are comfortable sharing.

Information submitted through consultation or inquiry forms is used to communicate with you, prepare for your consultation, provide relevant information about our services, and manage the client relationship.

Email and Text Communications

If you provide your email address or telephone number, we may use that information to communicate with you regarding:

  • Your inquiry
  • Consultation scheduling
  • Appointment confirmations and reminders
  • Your photography session
  • Product or image delivery
  • Client service matters
  • Requested information
  • Follow-up communications
  • Studio news, educational content, offers, or marketing communications when permitted

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the message.

If you receive marketing text messages from us, you may opt out by replying STOP. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier.

Transactional or service-related communications necessary to manage an appointment, purchase, or existing client relationship may still be sent when appropriate.

We do not sell telephone numbers or email addresses to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Photography and Client Images

We recognize that boudoir and intimate portrait photography requires a particularly high level of privacy and discretion.

Your photographs are not automatically authorized for public use simply because you hire Bohemian Visions.

Bohemian Visions will not publish or share your client photographs on our website, portfolio, social media, advertising, promotional materials, or other public platforms without the appropriate written permission or image release.

If you choose to authorize the use of selected photographs, the applicable image release or client agreement will describe the permissions you are granting.

Declining permission for public image use does not prevent you from purchasing or participating in a Bohemian Visions photography experience.

Client photographs may be accessed internally when reasonably necessary for editing, retouching, product production, quality control, image delivery, order fulfillment, or other services associated with your photography experience.

We take reasonable measures to protect client photographs while they are under our control.

Image Storage and Delivery

Digital photographs may be stored, edited, transferred, backed up, or delivered using professional software, computer systems, cloud-storage services, and third-party technology providers necessary to complete your photography experience.

Final digital images may be delivered electronically using a private file-delivery or cloud-storage link sent to the email address associated with your client account or order.

Clients are responsible for protecting any delivery links, downloaded files, passwords, or other access credentials provided to them.

Once photographs have been downloaded, copied, forwarded, posted, or otherwise shared by a client outside systems controlled by Bohemian Visions, we cannot control subsequent access to or distribution of those files.

Images that are not purchased may be deleted in accordance with our studio workflow and retention practices.

Payment Information

Payments for photography services and products may be processed through third-party payment processors.

Bohemian Visions does not generally store complete payment-card information on its own website servers when a transaction is processed directly by an independent payment processor.

Payment processors may collect information such as:

  • Name
  • Billing information
  • Payment-card information
  • Transaction information
  • Information used for fraud prevention or transaction verification

Your payment information is also subject to the privacy policy and security practices of the applicable payment processor.

Third-Party Financing

Bohemian Visions may provide clients with the option to use third-party financing or payment services.

Applications for financing, credit decisions, payment schedules, credit inquiries, account management, and financing-related personal information are handled by the applicable financing provider and are subject to that provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

Bohemian Visions does not determine whether a client is approved for third-party financing.

  • Respond to lawful governmental requests
  • Protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Bohemian Visions, our clients, or others
  • Investigate fraud, abuse, security threats, or violations of our agreements
  • Enforce contracts or protect legal rights
  • Facilitate a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of business assets

We may share information when you specifically direct or authorize us to do so.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party platforms.

These may include scheduling providers, payment processors, financing providers, social media platforms, cloud-storage services, advertising platforms, and other services.

Once you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, that provider’s privacy practices apply.

Bohemian Visions does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide requested services
  • Maintain client and transaction records
  • Complete photography and product orders
  • Meet contractual obligations
  • Maintain appropriate business records
  • Resolve disputes
  • Protect legal rights
  • Comply with tax, accounting, insurance, and other legal requirements

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

Photography files may be subject to separate studio retention and archival practices.

We are not obligated to maintain client photographs indefinitely unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, electronic communication, storage platform, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your relationship with Bohemian Visions and applicable law, you may request that we:

  • Provide information about personal information we maintain about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete certain personal information
  • Stop certain marketing communications

Some information may need to be retained for legitimate business, contractual, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legal purposes.

A request to delete personal information does not necessarily require deletion of information that we are legally or contractually permitted or required to retain.

Privacy requests may be submitted using the contact information below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Marketing Preferences

You may opt out of promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

You may opt out of eligible promotional text communications by replying STOP.

Opting out of promotional communications does not prevent Bohemian Visions from sending communications reasonably necessary to complete an existing transaction, appointment, photography service, product order, or client relationship.

Children’s Privacy

Bohemian Visions provides adult boudoir and intimate portrait photography services.

Our website and boudoir services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through our boudoir booking process.

If we learn that we have unintentionally collected personal information from a child in circumstances where we should not have done so, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, technology, business practices, services, or legal requirements.

When this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page and the “Last Updated” date will be changed.
