Family Pictures

"In addition, we [Walmart Photo Centers] will not copy a photograph that appears to have been taken by a professional photographer or studio, even if it is not marked with any sort of copyright, unless we are presented with a signed Copyright Release from the photographer or studio."

I would agree that these pictures appear to be taken by a professional. With a professional type camera. With a professional type eye for detail. With a professional editing process. But she isn't a professional! Wendy, my sister-in-law, took these pictures of us in her backyard while we were visiting them in May. I tried to get them printed off at WalMart, had already paid, and then she wouldn't give them to me. She was holding them hostage until I returned a signed "copyright release". This has happened in the past with our good friend Ashley who has taken many picture sessions with us. In the end, I left empty handed. I called back a couple hours later, and a more "relaxed" worker said that the lady who was a stickler gets off work at 5pm and I can come pick them up then. Problem solved! I can't wait to get these beauties on display! It was all worth it in the end.
