Is this unethical?

[lroberts324]

I don't think you meant to offend anyone, but lots of people here have had things "stolen" from them.

[Dana]

Yeah, I think you just asked at really bad time!

I looked at the site. Looks good so far. My only suggestion would be to take the pictures on a white background... not the deck. Kind of distracts from the bow.

Welcome to the group, I hope we didn't upset you!
Back story, in the last 6 months this has happened several times to our members (although without asking permission first!). And is just a very sensitive topic as you can see. I do applaud you for asking first before just assuming it was okay!

i really like your cheer bows. your girls are so precious, you def need to take your own pics so they can model for you.
the deck background doesn't bother me.
good luck!

Just what she said, dont' feel bad, just take your own pictures.

welcome to the site! just as the other ladies said it's a very touchy subject, it was nothing against you.

Welcome to the group! I'm so glad that you asked before going ahead with doing it. As many have pointed out, wether or not you have permission to use the pictures, we believe it is unethical.

I think your website looks nice. The deck background doesn't bother me either, I am getting tired of the white backgrounds LOL! I'd maybe spend some time in an editing program such as Picasa2 and brighten them up a bit though. spend your time working on your bows and pictures rather than finding other pictures to use and you'll be more respected and successful!

Good luck!

Haha...me too! I was actually trying to find some pretty paper or something that I can use for a new background. The white looks nice but I am so tired of it!

I use the bush outside of our apt to hang bows for pictures...works great.
