Please be aware that all images are worldwide copyrighted by Reflections by Cindy. Any reproduction in any manner or medium is a violation of Federal Law. Each image that is scanned or copied incurs a fine of $500 per infraction.

Under US copyright law (US Copyright Act 1976), it is illegal to make any kind of copies from your photos, to scan, print, copy, or download/save from the internet. I pride myself in the quality of my images in print. Scanning and copying result in poor quality prints that do not reflect the quality of my original work. As a consequence, my reputation as a photographer and visual artist is greatly damaged when images are scanned.

When I photograph your child that image is copyrighted and that copyright belongs to me, as I am the artist. This means that you have permission to use and display the images that you purchase; you do not have the right to reproduce any of those images (this includes home printers/scanners and commercial ones as well). When you purchase images on disc, you have unlimited printing rights for personal use only. This means that you don’t have permission to use the images for any commercial purpose or financial gain, including contests, and you can’t manipulate the images digitally, or ask someone else to do it (including, but not excluded to, removing watermark, alter color, change to black and white, use selective color on black white images, recrop in a different manner).

I take great pride in offering images that are not only beautiful and artistic, but also of the best quality available nowadays. With proper care, prints have an archival life of over 75 years and gallery wrap canvases may last up to 150 years. Your images will be enjoyed not only by you but also by your children and grandchildren. They will be treasured heirlooms and true works of art.

Thank you for your understanding- when you choose to not scan or copy your prints, you show respect towards my work.
