At Serenity & Oak, we believe in creating a peaceful digital space rooted in originality, mindfulness, and transparency. Below you’ll find how visual content, images, and creative works are produced, credited, and licensed throughout this Site.
AI-Generated Images
Some of the visuals on this blog are created using Generative AI tools, primarily Leonardo AI, which we use under a paid license that grants royalty-free commercial use.
- If an image is entirely AI-generated with no human edits, it will be credited accordingly (e.g., “Fully AI-Generated using Leonardo AI.”).
- If I make edits or add my own artistic input using tools such as Canva, Photopea, or Inkscape, the work is considered a collaborative creation and will be credited as: “Created using Leonardo AI and edited by Belinda Poree for Serenity & Oak.” These may be partially or fully owned.
- Images that are not labeled as Fully AI-Generated, or as edited collaborative creations may use AI components and tools in the collage and creation of the images, graphics and videos but are considered original works. These will have been extensively edited to provide originality, human authorship, and creativity and therefore are the intellectual property of Serenity & Oak and protected by copyright law.
These visuals are intended to reflect the themes of serenity, joy, and mindful living that this blog represents.
See Copyright Notice. And AI Disclaimer.
Stock Photography
On occasion, I use royalty-free images from platforms such as Pexels or Unsplash. These images are covered under their respective licenses, which allow for free use in both commercial and non-commercial settings.
Stock image credits are provided:
- In alt text for screen readers and accessibility.
- Underneath images when required by the platform or photographer.
- In this format: “Photo by [Photographer’s Name] via [Platform].”
Original Graphics & Design Elements
All original graphics, branded elements, blog cover designs, and digital products sold or shared on this site are created by me (Belinda Poree), unless otherwise noted. These works are protected by copyright and may not be copied, redistributed, or republished without written permission. See Copyright notice.

Why This Matters
As technology evolves, so does the nature of art and authorship. I’m committed to staying transparent about how I create, collaborate, and share visual content — not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because creative integrity matters.
