๐ธ A Little Business Update
You all have been SO amazing about supporting my photography, purchasing your photos, sharing my posts, and allowing me to capture all of your incredible runs. I truly appreciate every single one of you! โค๏ธ
Unfortunately, the day has finally come where I have to make an announcement I really hoped I wouldn't have to make.
I recently came across some of my photographs that had been taken from one of my galleries and posted on Facebook without being purchased. ๐
I absolutely LOVE seeing you all share your accomplishments and your runs! That's one of my favorite parts of doing what I do. But please remember that the photos in my galleries are copyrighted images and are not free to download and post.
So, going forward, I am putting a new policy in place:
๐จ PHOTO THEFT POLICY ๐จ
โข If I personally find that someone has taken and posted one of my photos without purchasing it, they will receive ONE warning.
โข If someone is reported to me for using a stolen photo, I will need a screenshot showing the photo being used so I can verify it.
โข After that one-time warning, if it happens again, I will no longer photograph that rider or make photos available for them at any future races I cover.
And here's a little "help me keep an eye out" bonus... ๐๐
If you happen to see one of my photos being used without being purchased and you send me a screenshot as proof, I will give you ONE FREE DIGITAL PHOTO of your choice from one of my galleries! โค๏ธ๐ธ
I don't want anyone to feel like I'm being unreasonable about my pricing. I work really hard to keep my photos affordable. One digital photo is only $10, and the more you purchase, the cheaper the price per photo gets with my package deals.
I put a LOT of time, money, equipment, editing, storage, and countless hours into what I do. Photography is my business, and these images are how I make my living. โค๏ธ
So please, don't screenshot, crop, remove watermarks, or download photos from the gallery and post them without purchasing them. If there's a photo you love, I'd much rather have you message me and let me help you get it! ๐ฅฐ
I truly appreciate all of you who continue to support my small business and respect the work that goes into these images. You guys are the reason I love doing this! โค๏ธ
Now let's get back to what we're all here forโฆ FAST HORSES, FAST TIMES & GREAT MEMORIES! ๐ค ๐๐จ๐ธ
Thank you all for understanding! โค๏ธ
