I started researching a different thief and this one pulled as a source on Google for one of the stolen images. Shocker, the image isn’t hers either!
As I scrolled I saw this collage posted at least 4 times. There’s so many mini shoots posted I didn’t have the time to dig further and further.
From what I can see at least one of the original photographers has asked for the collage to be taken down but it remains up.

This photographer claims it’s fine to use other work so long as she doesn’t use her watermark on the image. *raises eyebrows*
I’m sick so I didn’t dig as deep as I normally do. I think there’s a lot more than what I’ve posted as there’s a lot of ads for sessions with images that don’t match her actual watermarked images that aren’t popping in searches.
Update 9/5/19 @ 5PM: She’s taken down one of the images (not all) and basically claims she stated the images weren’t hers. She didn’t (as you can see in the screencaps).

Sometimes she remembers to state the images aren’t hers… sometimes she doesn’t. Doesn’t matter either way, they aren’t hers and the quality of these images is vastly different than those from Wild and Free Photography.

I actually received this submission on Saturday but since I was on the way to a Harry Potter Festival I decided to live in Hogwarts instead of dealing with this BS and saved it for Monday.
Sigh.
STOP USING ANY IMAGE THAT IS NOT YOURS! Not for mini session inspirations. Not for outfit inspiration. Not for location inspiration. Don’t keep placeholder images on your website IF they came with them. Don’t use stock images to represent your work (spoiler alert, if it’s on your photography website/facebook/social media of choice it will be assumed to be YOUR work by all clients who visit the page).
NEVER USE AN IMAGE YOU DID NOT TAKE FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS (unless it is OF you and with permission from the original photographer for your bio/about page).

It doesn’t matter if you leave a watermark, it doesn’t matter if you say “not my photos” you cannot take photos that are not your own and use them to advertise YOUR photography sessions.
STOP DOING THIS YOU IDIOTS!
Sorry for yelling but my gosh. This is so damn old. TAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOS FOR YOUR OWN ADS!
There’s probably more images but I am tired of digging.
