PRIVATE AND PERSONAL USE

I recognize that some individuals may like to reproduce my words and/or images for their private and personal use, and I don’t want to discourage that in the vast majority of cases. I believe that these terms are more generous than most standard usage terms, and apply only to those reproducing the written content or images for use inside their home, and not those sharing the images and content online.

If you would like to reproduce any original written content from RipplestonePhotography.com for private and personal use, you are absolutely allowed to do so, as long as you clearly include my name and website information along with the written content.
