I didn't know this was illegal, and made some copies of the proofs to give as xmas gifts. I went to pick them up at Walmart (I had uploaded them on the computer) and they wouldn't let me have them, saying it is illegal to copy professional pictures (they don't SAY anywhere they are professional, they just felt the poses looked professional). Anyway, they wouldn't give them to me--anyone ever had that happen?

Check your contract. If you get all proofs and negatives, and it's specified in the contract, then I believe that is enough to prove that you have the rights to the photos.
You could also have your photographer write you a note on letterhead if that doesn't work.
Stupid Walmart.
My friends and I call it Voldemart (that's a Harry Potter reference). And yes, the company IS that evil.
I have heard of this - the pictures are copyrighted and that is why they won't do it. It definately sucks!

I have made copies of photos using costco.com and also in person at Walgreens.
However...my father brought a picture of my niece/nephew that was taken at Babies R Us to Wallmart for a copy...and they did the same thing...they wouldn't give him the copy that he made![]()

Wow, this is good to know. Thanks.
Why not buy a color photo printer and print them yourselves? We have an Epson that was only $150 and now we can print all of our pictures at professional quality.
