It has been a while since we’ve had someone brazen enough to toss their watermark on everything.

Many of these sessions double over onto the Pixieset gallery.  It’s late, I have a raging headache so I’m not sourcing all of them but rather posting the gallery screencap below the sourced collage.

There are quite a lot of suspicious images on her various pages that I couldn’t find sources for, make sure to check and make sure none are yours.

Edit 8/15/19 @ 9AM

I had to call it a night around 2AM last night due to my raging headache.

She took down her Facebook Page in the wee hours of the morning but the pixieset and instagram remain.

Allegedly her excuse is that hackers did it.  Because of course they did.

I am adding additional images from her pages that I didn’t get a chance to source last night.  I’m also adding her services page from her Facebook Page that had a bunch of stolen images as well.

There are still a lot of images I’m waiting for sources on.

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 may have done a shot before drafting this up – if there are any typos I blame it on the tequila.

If you are a workshopper (and boy was there drama about her classes) you shouldn’t be using images that aren’t your original images on your photography social media pages.  Scratch that, you should NEVER use someone else’s images on your photography business pages full stop.  Especially with the hashtag #featuremyshot .

Yes, these images are stock for the most part but she is using them to represent her work, and thus, taking credit for them.  This is not okay, especially when she’s using these images not only to gain photography clients but photographers as clients as well.

Yes I know this photographer allegedly just had her equipment stolen (I’ve seen the Go Fund Me and multiple stories she’s posted about it) and I know this is bad timing for this post but that’s what started someone digging into her work because they saw the inconsistencies in her portfolio.

Don’t steal.

I do not condone bashing others work as we all started somewhere.  However, I will say this: the work that Amanda is presenting as her own is a vast departure from the images she has taken.  THIS is why I do what I do, if someone books her based on these beautiful images they will be in for a disappointment.

I was sent this photographer about a week ago but had to sit on it so I could edit a wedding since my actual paying gig has to take precedence.  For those cocking your head and wondering what these ads mean then if I say this doesn’t pay me… well ads bring me at most $30 a month.

SO I have started a Patreon.  I’m not sure what will come of it but it’s there if you want to support me and keep your ad block on.  Even if you can’t support at this time a share of it would be fantabulous!

Update 9/15/2018:  She took all of the images down from her Facebook that were posted here.  She replaced them with images that were also stolen.  When it was pointed out those were stolen she replaced them again with more stolen images.  Finally it appears since she can’t figure out how to use her own images she took her website and Facebook down.

I was perusing a local Facebook group this morning looking to see if any ISOs matched my pricing for photography.  A studio caught my eye for offering a photo/video package for under $1K so I decided to check out their website to see what kind of quality they were offering for that price point.

Since we’re here, you guessed how this story ends.

Sigh.
