My art :) {Collinsville, IL; St. Louis, MO Photographer}

I will be watermarking my blog photos here on out. It is very important to me to protect my work. It is even more important to me to protect my clients. I have been fortunate so far that no one has stolen any of my blog photos, cropped, edited or claimed them as theirs. These are very low resolution so they cannot be printed. If they were, they would look awful. Plus, they are copyrighted works and it would be illegal. I work for an attorney, remember :)

Anyway, I do not mind if anyone wants to use these for their social networking sites. BUT, you must put credit to me on each and every photo. It can be in the comment box or wherever but it must say it is mine.

I hope I don't sound to mean. I just have a lot of photographer friends who have been burned on this and I am fortunate enough to have lovely clients who respect my work and have never done this to me.

Anyway, thank you for understanding.

Love,

Amanda
