It’s another pay-what-you-can photographer!

Irony:

Update 4/20/2025 – Apparently Stephanie didn’t learn shit. So I added more below because Stephanie’s been BUSY since we last saw her.

Correct me if I’m wrong but there’s no ~inspo~ here and I’m pretty sure you’re advertising your business with that image Stephanie.

Update 4/21/2025 – Oh hell, she’s advertising in my local groups too with stolen photos. If you’re in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Florida or heck, any wedding group she may be in yours too. Bet you can’t guess which images are stolen… /sarcasm

Update 6/10/2025 – Added her new name which is Framed by SJC. There’s a new post on Facebook from a client who booked her and was rescheduled multiple times and Stephanie refuses to refund the client.

Update 9/10/2025 – Another client had hired Framed by SJC / SJC Photography for a session in Florida and she canceled since she wasn’t EVEN IN THE STATE and refused to refund.

There’s now so many of these last minute cancelations that I’m adding screencaptures to the top of the post with everyone’s stories I’ve found so far.

Update 12/4/2025 – I was checking to see if Stephanie was using her own images for Christmas minis this season and was keeping up with her workload to find her page was gone. When I went to investigate I found that she was recently blasted by a bride on Facebook and that’s likely why her page is down. Another name bites the dust.

Lenaria Photography in Anderson, IN

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lenariaphotography
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lenariaphotography/
Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/lenaria-photography-fortville

Location: Based in Anderson, Indiana ish. She’s also had Fortville and Fishers as locations as well.

Other Areas She Advertises/Has Booked: All of Indiana, Illinois (she was in a Chicago based group), Missouri, Washington (Seattle), North Carolina and likely more areas I haven’t found yet.

After my post about Well Kept Design I got a few messages from people wanting me to look into Lena because she has a similar shady track record as a photographer.

The complaints are varied but all basically boil down to me not even letting my ex husband book this photographer. Stolen photos, last minute cancellations, no showing, overbooking, not paying photographers, not refunding clients, faking her Mom’s death, booking multiple photographers for her own wedding and cancelling last minute for various reasons, and just flat out not being professional.

Lena has been changing her name often on Facebook to avoid the comeuppance coming for her or to possibly evade getting booted from the hundreds of wedding related Facebook pages she’s in. She’s currently using Lena Ralston but has gone as Lena White and Lena Ervin.

This post took me almost 6 HOURS to write. So buckle up and figure out below where I finally lost my cool with all of these terrible stories.

I’ve been told that this photographer has been schooled many times about why you can’t and shouldn’t use photos to promote your work that isn’t your own yet here we are. Sigh. She claims for some of these images she’s just showing the gowns that can be used but in the model calls that’s not very transparent so here we are.

There are a lot of images that I can’t source due to there not being a source and/or the watermark being so pixelated it’s impossible to read.

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

Update 8/21/18: She posted a few times in the comments of the Facebook Post stating she had permission but the admin of the page the bulk of the images came from said she did not. Furthermore she’d been told in July to stop using the images but continued to do so.
