My pal Anna posted this on facebook today. The post was written by Momtog and the wording is perfect. It is often really hard to explain to our clients the importance of protecting and respecting the beautiful art that is created for each client. Here is a great set of Do’s and Don’ts. Follow these guidelines and as my good friend Sara likes to say, your golden!
The Do’s and Don’ts of Stealing Images From Your Photographer
I get asked a lot by both photographers and clients what my policy is on letting my clients post their images to their blogs and facebook account. I personally love it when my clients post their family pictures on their blogs, facebook, etc. It shows me that they truly love their images! I encourage my clients to “steal” their pictures from my blog to use on the internet. Here are a few do’s and don’ts that you should think about when reposting your images:
1) DO ask your photographer what their specific policy is on taking pictures off of their blogs. Some photographers encourage it and some don’t allow it. If this is important to you this is something you should ask BEFORE you hire your photographer!
2) DO include your photographer’s name and website under the images (a link would be super nice!). That’s just the polite thing to do 
3) DON’T crop out their logo. Unless you have paid for the digital negatives don’t alter the files in anyway. Most photographers use their blogs to advertise their work and do so as a courtesy to give their clients a sneak peek. If a client crops out the logo then how will other people know who took the picture?
4) DON’T edit the picture in any way. Taking the pictures is only half of a photographers job. The other half is editing. If you think you can do a better job or want to edit out some of your wrinkles or use selective coloring please don’t show and/or tell your photographer. That is super insulting. If you don’t like your photographers editing enough to want to edit it yourself than maybe you need to find another photographer next year.
5) DON’T try to print from the files on the blog. For me specifically I know that the files I upload to my blog are too small to be printed in a 4×6 size. It’s not cool to invest in a family session and then print the images off of the blog and not pay for prints. Make sure you know how much the prints cost before the session to avoid sticker shock. Same goes for scanning prints that you already bought. Not cool! Some of my family members are guilty of printing images off of my blog. It makes me cringe when I see them FRAMED in their homes with my logo still on there! To be fair, I’m also not great at emailing them the file when they ask for it
ETA: Please feel free to repost this on your blogs and facebook. Just please give a link and a shout out to Mom*tog

Last weekend I met Trista & Jeff at Holy Hill which is a beautiful Catholic Cathedral on top of a huge hill! At first driving up to it I thought “are we still in Wisconsin?” For a moment I thought I had gone to Europe! We got lucky and the rain held off for the most part! We did get rained on a bit but it did not last long each time. Trista and Jeff are so cute together! They true genuinely nice people and their doggie Otto is so cute!!! Sadly he did not get to stay out to play for to long because he was a little overly excited!
Here are some sneak peak pics from the session. Can’t wait for the wedding!!!

We took a little tour of Milwaukee while shooting their engagement session. Wow Milwaukee you have so much left to discover still! Ok this post is starting to sound a little cheesy—-any who—-to the point. The point is that Stephanie & Matt are just adorable. I laughed so hard on our little adventure….and we had some serious problems with these little red balloons—-apparently balloons don’t float unless they are blown up with that special stuff called helium! woo hoo Brittany—well this does make sense but I guess I never really thought about it. So needless to say the balloons for my grand idea did not really float so we had to improvise—which was hilarious! Stephanie & Matt you are both awesome for being such great sports and putting up with my crazy ideas! Can’t wait for your wedding!
umm can you say “adorable”
ummmm yes the balloons….hilarious! thanks for being so cool about my silliness! ;- ) we discovered that running makes them look like they are floating!

This weekend I drove to Madison to do Dan & Kelly’s engagement photos! They are getting married May of 2010 and I was asked to photograph their wedding but I already have another amazing wedding that same weekend in Milwaukee. They will be getting married in our home town of Elk River, MN. That is right Kelly and I are from MN! And we go way back! All the way to elementary school. We met through our mutual friend, the adorable Maggie! And the three of us for a while were like 3 peas in a pod! We had so much fun together…being totally crazy, obnoxious little girls.
Kelly and Dan are so cute together. It was so much fun hanging out with them. Thanks guys for a super fun time. You two look awesome. Kelly likes to steal some of the shine…what can I say she is a ham for the camera!
