Photo Shyster: Jaime Lynn Photography in Flint, Michigan

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO HAS STOLEN IMAGES

This started as one person posting their story of what they’ve endured after allegedly attempting to hire Jaime Lynn for a session and turned into a mess as more and more clients and fellow photographers chimed in with issues they’ve also had with Jaime but kept silent about because Jaime knows how to play her victim card well.

Since the reason for this blog is to protect photographers AND clients from hiring photographers who are not what they present themselves to be online, I decided to make an exception to the copyright infringement rule.

While Jaime Lynn is currently based in Flint, Michigan, she also has previously lived in and worked out of Omaha, Nebraska and Guadalajara, Mexico so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more stories to be told and people who are owed money and/or photos which is another reason I decided to go ahead and blog this so that there’s a central location to collect these stories.

Also, it’s my blog and I do what I want.  😝

Click on the case # for the screenshots or links about each incident I summarized (not all have them).  In short, there’s a lot of people that Jaime owes money to or has left high and dry on wedding days.  If you have a similar story to tell let me know and I will add your story to this post.  I know these aren’t the only stories to be told.

This post may seem pretty light but trust me there are/were a TON of stolen images on her page.  This fauxtographer lifted images shared on various Facebook Groups by the original artists.

The images below are the ones I’ve started with but I have a feeling this post will grow as more photographers see their original work in screenshots and what she hasn’t deleted from her pages.

While this photographer is in the process of removing the stolen images I am continuing with this post because it’s VERY likely many clients were duped into booking her with the stolen images.

Update @ 2PM: Please note this is *not* the Image Couture Photography based in Australia.  Dani has removed her Facebook Page and PASS Gallery at this point in time.

Also note that this case was brought to me after it was discovered and posted to a few Facebook Groups so the postings to her social media do NOT stem from Photo Stealers. Thank you.

Update @ 5PM: I added a Facebook Album of the posts from Image Couture’s FB Page prior to her deleting the page.

Added more photos with original sources.

Update 3/4/19 @ 1PM: Allegedly Dani (the owner of Image Couture Photography) entered a bunch of the stolen images into the Shoot & Share Contest (which ironically calls itself the only free & fair photo contest in the world).  If you find your image in the sources below or in the album you may want to check in with the Shoot & Share contest.  At least a few photographers did not enter their images and have been told that it was seen by multiple voters and there were some entered the same images so their results may be skewed by Dani entering the image as well.

What is with stolen images in awards lately?!

I have added a few more photos which were sourced and removed some sourced images at the request of the original photographers.

Finally please consider supporting this site via Patreon.

I got this submission via a fan and while this guy has good taste, his entire website is made up of stolen images, mainly from Caroline + Ben but there are others.
