Terms and conditions
Chelsea Marshall Photo
Last updated: August 12, 2026
This page explains the terms for using chelseamarshallphotoco.com (the “Site”) and how Chelsea Marshall Photo (“Chelsea Marshall Photo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information.
By using this Site, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Terms & Conditions
1. Website use
This Site is provided for general information, portfolio viewing, and inquiries about photography services. You may use it only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the Site, its security, or anyone else’s use of it.
You may not:
copy, scrape, download, reproduce, republish, sell, or commercially exploit Site content without written permission;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its accounts, forms, or connected systems;
upload or transmit malicious code, spam, or unlawful material; or
use the Site or its content to misrepresent your identity, Chelsea Marshall Photo, or another person or business.
We may restrict access to the Site if we reasonably believe these terms have been violated.
2. Photography services and client contracts
Information on this Site is an invitation to inquire and does not guarantee availability or create a photographer-client relationship. A date or session is not reserved until Chelsea Marshall Photo and the client have completed the booking requirements stated in the client’s photography agreement.
Each photography service is governed by a separate written agreement. That agreement may address pricing, retainers, payment deadlines, cancellations, rescheduling, weather, travel, image delivery, turnaround time, artistic discretion, copyright, personal-use rights, model releases, album or product orders, and other service-specific terms.
If anything on this Site conflicts with a signed photography agreement, the signed agreement controls for that booking.
Prices, collections, deliverables, availability, travel terms, and other service details may change at any time before a written agreement is signed. A quote is valid only for the period stated in that quote.
3. Portfolio images and copyright
Unless otherwise stated, the photographs, videos, graphics, logos, illustrations, text, page design, and other original content on this Site are owned by or licensed to Chelsea Marshall Photo and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
You may view and share links to public Site pages for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may not copy, screenshot for republication, edit, crop, apply filters to, remove watermarks or credits from, use to train an artificial-intelligence system, sell, license, or otherwise use Site content without prior written permission.
Clients receive only the image-use rights described in their signed photography agreement. Purchasing photography services or receiving a gallery does not transfer copyright ownership. Vendors, publications, businesses, and other third parties must obtain permission before using photographs unless a separate written license provides otherwise.
4. Client galleries, downloads, and prints
Online galleries and download links may be provided through third-party platforms and may expire. Clients are responsible for downloading and safely backing up delivered files within the period stated in their agreement or gallery notice.
Screens and third-party print labs vary. Chelsea Marshall Photo cannot guarantee that colors, cropping, paper, or print quality from an unauthorized lab will match the delivered files. Any print or product guarantee applies only as stated in the client’s signed agreement or order terms.
5. Artistic style
The portfolio reflects Chelsea Marshall Photo’s documentary, creative, and artistic approach. By booking, clients acknowledge that photography is subjective and that final image selection, editing, color treatment, and artistic decisions are governed by the signed photography agreement.
6. Inquiries and information you submit
You agree that information submitted through the Site is accurate and that you have permission to provide it. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, full payment-card information, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a general contact form.
Submitting an inquiry does not create a confidential, fiduciary, or photographer-client relationship and does not guarantee a response or booking.
7. Testimonials, features, and third-party content
The Site may include testimonials, publication badges, social-media content, links, or material supplied by clients or third parties. Testimonials describe individual experiences and do not guarantee a particular result.
Third-party websites and services have their own terms and privacy practices. Chelsea Marshall Photo does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices.
8. Site availability and accuracy
We try to keep the Site accurate and available, but we do not promise that every page will always be current, complete, error-free, secure, or uninterrupted. We may update, suspend, or remove Site content at any time.
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing on the Site is legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Chelsea Marshall Photo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of—or inability to use—the Site or a linked third-party service.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Liability connected to a booked photography service is governed by the applicable signed photography agreement.
10. Governing law
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute concerning the Site will be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Michigan, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Before filing a claim related to the Site, you agree to contact us and make a good-faith effort to resolve the issue informally.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Changes apply prospectively from the date posted unless the law requires otherwise.

Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Chelsea Marshall Photo collects through the Site and related online interactions, why we collect it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
It applies to information collected through the Site, including contact forms, mailing-list forms, website analytics, and connected booking or gallery services. A separate client agreement may also explain how information is handled for a particular photography service.
1. Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and social-media handle;
Inquiry and booking information, such as the type of session or event, preferred date, location, budget, participant information, questionnaire answers, and messages you send;
Transaction information, such as invoices, payment status, purchases, and limited billing details. Full payment-card information is generally processed by a payment provider rather than stored by Chelsea Marshall Photo;
Photography-service information, such as contracts, releases, scheduling details, gallery activity, image selections, print or album orders, and photographs or video created in connection with a booked service;
Marketing preferences, such as whether you subscribed to or unsubscribed from promotional emails;
Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, and interactions with the Site; and
Cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
We collect information directly from you, automatically through the Site, and from service providers you use to communicate, book, pay, access galleries, or interact with us.
2. How we use information
We may use personal information to:
respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
provide quotes, contracts, invoices, scheduling, photography, gallery delivery, products, and client support;
process transactions and maintain business records;
personalize and improve the Site, services, and client experience;
understand Site traffic and how visitors use the Site;
send marketing communications when permitted by law and consistent with your choices;
protect the security and integrity of the Site, galleries, accounts, and business systems;
prevent fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity;
comply with legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and contractual obligations; and
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
3. Cookies and analytics
The Site and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. These technologies can help the Site function, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand visitor behavior, and support embedded content or marketing.
Some cookies are necessary for Site features to work. Others may be used for analytics or marketing, depending on the tools enabled on the Site and your cookie choices.
You can manage cookies through the cookie banner, when available, and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site functions. Browser-based “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across the internet; the Site responds to legally required privacy preference signals where applicable.
4. How we share information
We may share personal information only as reasonably necessary with:
website hosting, form, email, scheduling, contract, customer-management, gallery, cloud-storage, analytics, printing, shipping, bookkeeping, insurance, and payment providers;
assistants, second photographers, contractors, or professional advisers who need the information to help provide services or operate the business;
government authorities, courts, insurers, attorneys, or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or address a legal claim; and
a successor or prospective successor in connection with a merger, sale, reorganization, financing, or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless this Policy and any legally required consent mechanism clearly state otherwise.
Third-party providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Their systems may operate in locations outside Michigan or outside the United States.
5. Photographs, model releases, and public sharing
Photography services naturally involve creating and storing images of clients, family members, guests, and event participants, which may include children.
Whether Chelsea Marshall Photo may publish client images on the Site, social media, in advertising, in publications, or for portfolio purposes is governed by the applicable signed photography agreement and any model release or written opt-out arrangement. This Privacy Policy does not create a model release or expand any permission granted in a client agreement.
If you believe a publicly displayed image creates a privacy or safety concern, contact us at chelsea@chelseamarshallphotoco.com. We will review the request, but removal may not always be legally required or possible where an image has already been lawfully published, printed, archived, or shared by others.
6. Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from a child under 13 without legally sufficient parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 submitted personal information directly through the Site, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Children may be photographed as part of services arranged by a parent, legal guardian, school, organization, event host, or other authorized adult. Information and images connected to those services are handled under the client agreement, applicable releases, and this Privacy Policy.
Minors may not enter into a photography agreement on their own behalf unless legally permitted to do so. An adult with appropriate authority must complete the booking.
7. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining client and transaction records, preserving business and tax records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, maintaining backups, and complying with legal obligations.
Retention periods vary by record type. Photography files and galleries may be retained for a different period than contracts, invoices, correspondence, or website analytics. Gallery availability and image-archive obligations are controlled by the applicable client agreement; clients should maintain their own backups of delivered files.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to technical limitations and legally permitted backups.
8. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. However, no website, email system, storage platform, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for protecting passwords and private gallery links provided to you. If you believe information you provided to us has been compromised, contact us promptly.
9. Your choices and privacy requests
You may:
unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us;
manage cookies through available consent tools or your browser settings;
ask to access, correct, or delete personal information we maintain about you; or
ask a question about how your information is used.
To submit a request, email chelsea@chelseamarshallphotoco.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may retain or decline to delete certain information where permitted or required for contracts, taxes, accounting, security, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or the rights of others.
Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights. We will respond to verified requests as required by applicable law.
10. Third-party websites and social media
The Site may link to or embed content from social networks, galleries, publications, payment providers, maps, videos, or other third parties. When you interact with those services, the third party may collect information under its own privacy policy. Chelsea Marshall Photo does not control those third-party privacy practices.
Information you post publicly on social media or other public platforms may be viewed, copied, or shared by others. Please use care when posting personal information publicly.
11. Visitors outside the United States
Chelsea Marshall Photo is based in Michigan, United States. If you access the Site from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where service providers operate. Those locations may have different data-protection laws than your home jurisdiction.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations. The revised Policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice when required by law.
