Overview
Austin School Photography participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on links to products or services we recommend and make a purchase. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a unique identifier. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the merchant at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing valuable content.

Our Commitment to You
Honest Recommendations
We only recommend products and services that we believe will be valuable to our readers. Our opinions are our own and are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We will never recommend a product solely because we earn a commission from it.
Transparency
We strive to clearly identify affiliate links on our website. However, you should assume that any link to a product or service on our site may be an affiliate link.
No Extra Cost
Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website.
Product Reviews and Recommendations
When we review or recommend products:
- We base our opinions on our own experience and research
- We disclose any material connections with the product manufacturer or seller
- We aim to provide balanced information, including both pros and cons
- We update our content when products change or new information becomes available
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or accept compensation for reviews. When this occurs, we will clearly disclose the sponsorship relationship within the content.
