Professionally created photographic portraits are works of art and are protected by law from unauthorized reproduction or copying. This law provides artists the ability to earn a living and be compensated for their creations.
All images produced by Once Upon A Time Portrait Studio are protected by the Copyright Act (Public Law 94-553, Oct 19, 1976). The Copyright Act protects photographers by giving the author of the photograph the exclusive right to reproduce their photographs. This includes the right to control the making of copies. It is illegal to scan, copy or reproduce my photographs without permission, and violators of this Federal Law are subject to its civil and criminal penalties. This includes copying images from my website. Copying is stealing. Purchasing a print does not give a client the right to reproduce it or copy it.
