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).

Apparently it’s a busy day in the thievin’ land.  From what I’m told this isn’t this photographer’s first rodeo with stolen images.

Thank god it’s after 5 o’clock!  Cheers!  Oh god, nevermind.  Don’t buy Cape Line.  That shit is terrible.  *gag*

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.

Sorry for those that have messaged me and I haven’t posted the offenders.  I’m a full time wedding photographer so summers are always busy and I squeeze in Photo Stealers when I have small breaks.

Onto SJ Photography!  There are very few images on her website that are her images.  You can also tell where she has tried to crop out watermarks.

Update 7/18/19

Stacey was contacted by one of the original photographers here and she claims that images are not copyrighted when on social platforms.  She then went on to state she was going to the police and pressing charges as well as getting her lawyer brother involved.

SJ Photography removed most of the stolen images from her website but left a few up for whatever reason.  As of this morning, the website is offline.

Added additional stolen image from SJ Photography’s Facebook Group.

When it rains it pours apparently.  Literally.  It’s pouring outside.

Apparently July 2nd is also “get caught using stolen images in mini sessions ad day.”  Who knew?
