Fucking Florida, amirite?

I’ve started to get a massive headache so I stopped listing images w/o sources.

Update 2/11/16 @ 11PM

• Lori’s Facebook Page is down
• Lori removed some of the images sourced below from her website, however she added at least one new stolen image in their place.
• Updated sourced images for the website with all images Lori didn’t originally photograph, including stock images.
• Updated source on main background image for website.

Update 2/12 @ 2PM

• Lori’s Facebook Page is still down however her profile is back up, still with stolen work.
• Lori has ads all over Facebook with stolen content representing her work, those are now included below.

Update 6/3/2016

• I received an email from Lori in May blaming hackers for the stolen images being on her website.  Since images remained on her website that were not her original works of art, I did not remove the post.  Also, unless you are posting selfies, you likely were not the photographer at your own wedding so those images have no place in your photography gallery IMHO.

Subject: Being hacked

Message Body:
Please Please delete everything with my name in it.  I was hacked on my website, Facebook and they were leaving me bad email messages.  I am honest and love the work I do.  I do NOT steal photos.  Most of the photos they claimed I stole was my own personal Wedding.
Please remove them, thank you in advance!

• Today I received another email with more information about images that Lori has stolen so I decided to update the post while waiting for a session to download.

• Much of the original material also still remains so I’ve created a new category for Photo Stealers – Lost Cause.  For photographers who continue to use others intellectual works after being caught.

I did not list the stock images used on her Wedding Wire account. The only images there that are hers are the one of someone proposing and one by a red barn.

This submission came to me last week when I was out of town photographing a destination wedding.  Unfortunately this photographer refuses to take down the images and the images remain on her website a week later.

What made me laugh is that not are all of the images watermarked with her logo (I couldn’t find any images on her website that didn’t have a source out on the internet) but that she even stole the buttons from some other photographer – including the “about us” with their photo.

She is currently deleting some of the images she’s being called out for.  There are more than what is sourced below but I am too busy today to do it all.  She habitually crops out watermarks and has used at least one stolen image for her header so this isn’t just “inspiration” for mini sessions or photo shoots (not that inspiration posts are ever ok – even with credit).

Her website is mostly her work with the WIX template images left in place so below is just Facebook sourced images.

B-Precious in Long Island, NY

I know the argument here is going to be “but the gallery said inspiration!”  This is true, it does.  However there is an overlay on these images with “schedule your session” and no where on the website (that I can find) does it explain these images are placeholders or images B-Precious aspires to achieve.  These images also are alongside her session pricing.

I didn’t list stock images or unknown sources.

PS: I highly suspect the song isn’t properly licensed either.
