The answer

Photographing living beings is a matter of dispute among contemporary scholars, and the preponderant opinion is that it is permissible unless it involves something forbidden, such as photographing a woman who is immodestly adorned, or with the intention of glorification. Therefore, there is no harm in uploading a picture of a young girl who has not reached the age of desirability to websites, but avoiding this is preferable to steer clear of the disagreement.
