Will I be in photos, videos and audio recordings?
Photos, videos and audio recordings may be taken during our moms group and shared on our website, social media and for promotional purposes. Photos and videos are usually focused on the guest speaker and may include the group as a whole. We will be blurring faces of babies and children. Audio recordings will be of the guest speaker and will be edited to the best of our ability to reduce the voices of others. Instagram livestreams focus on the guest speaker, but may include individuals who are seated close to the speaker. Our store is open to photography and at times our guest speaker and moms may take photos and videos during our events and share on social media. Read the full crowd release and disclosure here.
