Another day, another idiot photographer using stolen images to advertise for cheap mini sessions.

Update 11/30/2023: As I was writing my latest Substack newsletter an email came in tipping me off that Amanda is still up to her same shit. She’s changed her editing style, somehow amassed a decent following on Instagram and is now selling to photographers. You’d think from an innocent glance at her instagram that she’s living clean and learned from her mistakes…

Except now she’s using stolen photos to advertise to photographers for various retreats. On some she does say (beneath the cut or deceptively hidden of course) they are inspo but not all. She did not receive permission to use the images from the photographers that I’ve heard back from so far.

Note: this isn’t even the second time she’s done this. When I outed her in 2019 I got a hefty amount of messages that she’d done this numerous times before.

Sorry it’s been a bit quiet around here.  3 double header weekends in less than a month means I’ve been too busy to work on much on the Photo Stealers end.  I’m taking a wee break from busting out editing for busting photographers tonight.

Today’s post is a fun one.  She posted to a Facebook Group asking for CC of an image she actually took.  However a quick pop over to her Facebook Page showed she was using lots of images that aren’t hers.  I had to stop sourcing so I could go back to what actually pays me to work (if you want to support my work here – hit up my Patreon!)  but there’s dozens of images I didn’t source and may add later.

I also love (note that was in sarcasm font) that she often edits the original photographer’s work.   Let’s add some salt to that wound right?

Fucking hell.  I need a cocktail.

When clients start searching for reasons why their images aren’t matching up to their expectations (IF they even get them delivered) you know something is afoot. Something is definitely afoot here.

I’ve been told there’s more images that were up but she’s pulled them when being called out on them.

The reviews out there for her are NOT good.  Don’t fall for her standing behind Jesus and Grace.

Update 10/12/18: Both Lesa /Lisa/Elle and her sister Kayla have weighed in on the Facebook Post about this listing and said I’m crazy and the images were obviously just inspiration.  Then they said they took a class from Amy & Jordan who said she could use the images and didn’t need to credit.  There were a ton of other explanations and excuses.  In the end the stolen images remain and they have not removed them.

So I went to Instagram.

More “inspiration” to be found.

’tis the season… not for Christmas you fools but for mini sessions!  Which means that I’m dealing with submissions left and right of fauxtographers who are advertising their minis with images that aren’t their own.  Some state the images are “inspiration” and some do not but either way it’s still copyright infringement.  STOP IT.

Life pro tip: don’t Google her phone number at work, the number brings up some listings for someone at that number who is/was an escort.
