to want pics of my baby off a third party business page

[LadyGranulomaFortesque]

We attended a 1st birthday party last year and unbeknownst to me, one of the people there was in the process of setting up a photography business. I had no idea she was even taking pictures but a friend has just messaged me to say there are a few pics of my then six month old baby being used as promotion on her business Facebook page.

I am fuming - she didn't even ask even though she is a friend of a friend. I keep all of my pictures private and apart from a little cameo of me and my son together in my profile pic, there are NO pictures of him on Facebook and even pics of me are mostly private (I am weird like that).

I realise she took the pictures (covertly as today is the first time i have seen them) and I have sent her a polite message to take them down. Anyone have any idea where I stand legally if she refuses. I am so not happy about my little man being used as advertising for someone else's business. I feel like our privacy has been violated when I am normally so careful.

MrsSB - Apologies, that certainly wasn't the intention - I'd simply responded as you'd mentioned my name in your last post - that's all. Hadn't found anything emotive or offensive in them and wasn't belittling your view-point, just re-stating mine.

Aw gutted I missed your response to her OP! She sounds like an absolute charlatan, what have your mutual friends said about the whole thing? I'd take a very dim view of one of my friends behaving like this.

Moonlight fair enough. Here: peace offering?

Indeed.

Rarely but effectively, blowing a gasket is well worth it.

Ooh this would have annoyed me too. When we got married a young videographer who was just starting up did our video. We didn't pay very much and there was no contract etc. he did a good job and we were very pleased.
However a few months later someone stopped me in the street and said they recognised me from my wedding video...I asked where they had seen it and they said the guy had been sending out copies of my full wedding DVD to potential clients! I was livid, I've no idea how many people had seen it, watched me cry during my vows and dancing with my dh.
To top it off we went to the cinema one night and our picture came up during the averts at the start, promoting his business!
I had to ask him about ten times to stop, eventually left him a very angry and ranty voicemail threatening legal action which his dad replied to stating our video would not be used again.
Talk about mad!!

MrsSB. Ditto and ?

Oh Moonlight I wish I could imbibe - 9 weeks to go!

Ah, but this is a virtual one, so you're fine.

The nine weeks will fly in.

I hope so!!! I am so tired of being pregnant!

Wouldn't of bothered me at all if she asked permission. YAB a bit U and precious

Yes, I remember those days, heaving my bulk wandering gaily along having a hot flush 'glowing', wearing a 'floaty' outfit...Not sure how, given that lot, but the due date really did arrive before I knew it.

So, two weeks to the bank holiday, then two weeks after that it's four weeks before and then...

But Davey - she didn't ask permission and was then rude when she was asked very reasonably to remove the pics which is the op's legal right to do so.

? Davey? Are YOU the photographer?

what an odd responce to this. Have you read the whole thread ?

If you have then here have a

The photo's have been removed

Make sure you tell her that there is no apostrophe in photos & that as a consumer, this would put me right off using her services.

Don't say anything at all about her grammar it will make you look like a knob and invalidate genuine concerns.
