Success!

After many threatening emails and making multiple reports through facebook, we finally were able to get this creepazoid's profile removed, and her flickr account is down. I have been consumed with this all week, and I hate to admit it.

I just want to thank everyone for their helpful comments and tips. Also everyone who emailed me with advise... I didn't have time to respond to them all but I thank you for taking the time to help me.

It's so good to know that I have people out there looking out for me and that people know who Violet's *real* mom is :)

I hope this kind of thing never happens again, but I am going to have to be a lot more careful about what I post (haven't decided if I'll keep posting photos of Violet after this). It's sad that it has to be that way, but this scared me more than I thought it would.

I will be out of town for the weekend and be back Monday with some more work to share.

Have a great Thanksgiving break everyone.

WHAT?!

I just got informed that someone is stealing photos from my blog, and pretending to be me. Not only is this person taking my photographs, but claims to be the mother of violet and has a facebook account with over 500 contacts + a flickr account.

Not only do I feel completely violated, I'm just shaking I'm so mad. creepy.

Anyone have any suggestions of what to do from here?

HERE is the link to her facebook page. I (obviously) am not her friend, but someone *thank you someone*, got an invite from this person on facebook and sent me a screen shot of her homepage - which has all my photographs and says she's a mom to violet. I have reported her on facebook, but heard nothing back yet.

What do I do? What is wrong with people? and what's the motive? I just don't get it.

**to be clear, I do have a flickr account. It's under "allison c photography". This impostor's flickr account is under "allison carter 2009", which is linked from her facebook account.

stewart family

This was such a fun family session. Lindsey is quite the photographer herself, and brought some creative ideas to the shoot. She's a fan of plastic camera's and picnicking at the park with her husband and dog... and I got to be the lucky one to document it.

a few things...

I have been busy trying to catch up lately. Here are a couple peeks at what I've been working on.

This fun family session:



and this stylish wedding:



I'll share more soon...

leaves!

hazen family

What a cute, cute family... and we caught all the pretty leaves too. loved this shoot.

katie and jeff's wedding

Another lovely summer wedding... thanks Katie and Jeff.

sarah and jason's wedding

Yes, I'm still getting around to blogging summer weddings...I have just a couple more to go.
This was a fun little Provo wedding + backyard reception. Thanks Sarah and Jason :)

carlson family

This adorable family was the winner of the YHO doorprize that was featured back in May. Yes, I am finally getting around to posting this shoot from the summer. I was loving the lens flares that day.

furstenau family

I adored this family session. I have been a fan of Amy's blog for a long time and I'm so glad I finally got to meet her and her sweet family. It's always intimidating to take another photographer's portraits for them (especially one with such talent as Amy)!

gone missing

I've completely neglected this poor little blog.

I have been so busy working and catching up that I haven't had time to post any pretty pictures. In the meantime here's a little peek at what I've been working on. I'll be back next week with more!

cassandra's bridals

jump!

debi and dave's wedding - carmel, california

This wedding took place at the beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea with the reception following at the Carmel Valley Ranch. Thank you Debi and Dave for having me be a part of your special day...

autumn is near...

I can't believe how fast this summer has flown by. I was just looking through images I took a few months ago and found this one that I never shared that I like...

I need to shoot more. I have been so overwhelmed with trying to catch up on my work that I haven't taken the time to pick up my camera. Hopefully next month will be easier.

reshma + barry's wedding

exploring

I couldn't get enough of the fresh mountain air, tropical rain forest hikes with dewy moss and leaves, glaciers, mountain peaks, waterfalls, drizzling rain, wildlife, and most of all spending time with people I love. Alaska has a special place in my heart. It was hard to leave.

I will be catching up with a lot of work for the next couple weeks, so please be patient while this blog stays somewhat neglected. I will post photos from my trip soon.
