I don't think anyone here would mind, but it might get you in big time trouble with your company. As I remember they have strict policies about things like that.

It's funny how that is, isn't it. I know that the photos that I 'love' LOVE 'love'... are hit and miss.

Sandy Puc's Tots 2 Teens seminar, she said that big cheesy grins, sell.... and the photos she has in her portfolio... those are the ones she takes for herself. Sometimes they aren't the ones that sold....

I take comfort in that...lol...

Sometimes making money is about pleasing the customer. At least there are times you are able to please yourself in your work, too (not everyone has that ability). But I guess you can't use any of your Olan Mills stuff for your portfolio.
