<p>I have not delivered their images yet. While trying to set up a time to meet to do so, they asked how many pictures were on their USB. When I told them, that's when all this happened.</p>

<p>What is PPA?</p>

<p>Give them my UNEDITED files? There is a reason they remained unedited. They are not good. Light, blur, blinks etc... If I do that, they can show people just those bad ones and how would that reflect on me? Am I misunderstanding something? And yes, I know its a cheap price. But my small town has HUNDREDS of backyard photogs charging $25! People around here are just looking for decent photos at a cheap price. I did not always charge so little, but the shoot and burners were KILLING me!</p>

<p>What are my rights? Can they force me to give them all the unfinished work?</p>

<p>I cant afford an attorney. I really cant. I am so financially in a hole that Im having to sell my house to pay my sons college tuition right now. And now this!</p>

<p>I am a small town photographer who picked this up as a hobby. I do a little of everything from senior pics to family photos and I charge (dont shoot me) $50 just to have some extra cash.<br> I recently did a maternity session for a couple. When the lady called and booked, she asked how many pics she would get. I told her around 30 as that is all my custom USB's hold, BUT if she wanted to bring her own USB I would throw a few extras on there for her just to be kind.<br> She has since informed her husband that I told her if they brought their own USB that I would GIVE them ALL of their pictures. NEVER in a million years would I GIVE ALL of the pictures because I take hundreds (adjusting for light, blur, blinks etc.) and never would I give my UNEDITED work anyway. And they are mad that they bought a $30 USB assuming they were getting all their pics.<br> They are also upset that they did not get to view and select their images.<br> The ONLY thing I am guilty of was not disclosing that I would be the one to select the images. However, this is stated on my website in which they told me thats how they found me.<br> Now they are obtaining an attorney as I have "tainted" their whole maternity period. They want ALL the pictures, their $50 back PLUS the $20 tip they gave me, and the cost of the USB they bought.<br> PLEASE HELP ME! What are my rights? There was no paper contract.</p>
