⚠️ This Needs to Be Said ⚠️
I’m extremely upset and disappointed to have recently come across my professional images being taken, altered, and posted online without my consent.
The amount of time, skill, and heart that goes into every single photo I deliver is massive — from being on the sidelines, to culling thousands of images, to carefully editing each one to reflect my style and the quality my brand stands for. This is not a quick or automated process.
When a sports gallery is shared, it is for viewing and purchasing. Choosing not to purchase images, then taking screenshots, removing watermarks, or running my photos through AI/editing tools to change them is not okay. It is disrespectful to the work I do and the business I’ve built.
My images may not be edited, altered, filtered, AI-processed, or have watermarks removed under any circumstance without my explicit permission. Doing so misrepresents my work and crosses a very real professional and ethical line.
If you want changes or edits, I am always happy to help — just ask. Please respect photographers, their art, and the countless unpaid hours behind every image.
