Good to hear. I didn't want you to be in an uncomfortable situation.
Personally, I have mixed feelings on the issue. My son is the CTO of a company that produces an app that can be loaded on a child's phone. They encourage parents and their children to work together to help make the child safe. There are many features, including automatic notification if the child travels further than a certain distance from home, makes a new friend on any social media, or posts a photo with their smart phone. The child gets the same text that their parents receive so there is some transparency.
I think what my son has seen, both doing research for the product and some things that came up during beta testing has made him cautious. He recognizes there is a big difference between posting photos like the ones you shared and the photos he's seen that gives him pause. Still, he does not share photos of his children on social media due to his understanding of how images can be propagated and how he would lose control of their dissemination and use.
I can understand. I posted a photo of one of my grandsons (different parent) to demonstrate OCF lighting with a Westcott Rapid Box. A couple of weeks later I went to Flikr and searched for other images lit with the Rapid Box. I was surprised to find my photo on Flikr, even though I didn't post it there. Frankly, I'm a little surprised by photographers who post semi-nude photos of their daughters on Facebook or internet forums.
