It’s been a week… so this will be brief.

I cut it off because I need to do my own work!

I couldn’t sleep last night because my anxiety over this stupid AEllis case has been keeping me up the the past few days. I don’t know why, likely because it’s about a year since he started his reign of terror against me, but it has been a rough go the past couple weeks.

Since I’m my own worst enemy I started digging into my messages since I was awake anyway and started working on a new post.

Most of the ads by this fauxtographer are using stolen images. The differences in the ad imagery and her actual work is notable.

The reviews aren’t all sunshine and rainbows either. One review pointed out Belle Grace Photography was late to a session and refused to refund and someone commented that they agreed. There also appears to be issues with their ‘membership’ for $150 and the scheduling of said sessions.

Once the post went live she took the Facebook Page down for a bit then reposted it with this post.

Update 2/25/2025 – Christina, the owner of Belle Grace Photography, arrived in the Facebook Post comments and she’s full of insults. Since she’s so full of justifications as to why she can steal images and is still posting them I am going to update the post with the new stolen images posted since her original post here.

Note: I do have sympathy for her dealing with a sick child but you can take care of the child and use your own images to advertise your mini sessions and not steal them.

I got hit with a flurry of messages about this fauxtographer so I am guessing they got caught somewhere online. The Facebook Page was wiped between me getting the messages and when I could start the post but the website is still predominantly images that were not created by Seraphina Visuals.

There is a TON of stock images used here, often from the same wedding so to save time I’m only going to post the original source for the first of the group on those.

I think *some* (not all) of these images were placeholders with the Pixieset template they are using. It’s often done and it’s gross. There’s so many other photographers that popped up when searching those images that are using the same placeholder images on their live website. Stop that crap right now.

I think this is also one of the first photographers to use AI images in their portfolio pretending they were real photos. Wait, no. I forgot about Meg. Well, anyway, it’s the first one I’ve come across that is just a regular photographer not selling products TO photographers anyway.

Finally, to kind of go for the full BINGO card here they also have plagiarism.
