Just wanted to leave one photo (for now 😉) out of the hundreds that I took at this sweet baby boy’s Birthday celebration.

Thankful. Now I can get back to doing what I love. Working on what I couldn’t because my “old” machine couldn’t keep up anymore. Cannot even use it as a monitor because, you know, companies want you to throw things away and spend more money. Still. Very thankful, because I’ve had to put editing on hold until now. 💜

So much of my happiness comes from getting to create beautiful memories for people i genuinely care so much about. Rebekah is kind, compassionate, intelligent and so full of light. Senior year can go by so quickly, and capturing these moments are precious. How beautiful she is!

When the beauty of color comes through before any editing… And the amazing time I was gifted by life, to create some photographs with these incredible sisters. The gratitude I have for them, their Mom, as well as my husband (who helped me with holding the light and my daughter, for being there) Words never can express 💜

This is such a great post about copyright and copyright infringement.

Do you know what copyright is? Copyright refers to the legal right of the owner of intellectual property.

For those who are curious, I am talking mainly about a photographers’ image they create, sell, or maybe give to clients. Any image a photographer takes, they own. It is their creative vision, they own all rights, even if the subject is a friend, client or relative. Did you know it is copyright infringement to take any image and repost it, print it, or even submit it to a designer without permission?

I have so many stories from friends and myself about images being stolen, or used without consent. Many take an image from FB or elsewhere and use it for personal reasons, cover photo, print or even submitting to a designer.

I put my watermark on my images small because I don’t want to distract from the subject or the beauty of the image. Watermarks, of course can be removed, cropped and covered up. I am not talking about reposting the original post on Facebook. If the image is taken without the original post or text and put in a new post without credit, that is copyright infringement. Copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the copyright owner’s permission.

With that being said - please do not do it. It makes photographers work twice as hard, they put into an image and we rely on our work to get new customers and new business. Thank you.
