I was made aware of the company through a Facebook ad offering 50% of boudoir photography sessions. I contacted the company and set up a session. On June 29th, 2010, the photographer, Sabrina Brindle, came to my home and did a shoot. I paid her the entire fee, $240, up front. Nothing seemed suspicious about her and she was very friendly and professional. After the shoot, she promptly sent me a sample picture which was nice but I had a couple of problems with it and asked her to make some changes for the other ones.


Over the next weeks and months, I had various instances of contact with her. We had arranged for her to put my photo CD in the mail as I live in Red Deer and she lives in Calgary. Through email she insisted she had put it in the mail, but I never received it. I began to get somewhat suspicious, and sent a few emails, getting replies to some and not to others, but about a month after the shoot I phoned her and told her I would be in Calgary and asked if I could pick up my CD from her then. She agreed. I met her there and she gave me a CD. Thinking the issue was resolved, I was a little frustrated that it took so long but satisfied--until I put the CD in my computer. It had a total of 7 pictures on it, while during the shoot she had taken a lot of shots and told me that she would have a lot of photos to give me. Some of the pictures I liked a lot while others were amateurish. I sent her another email telling her there were only 7 pictures on the CD. Taken from the email, she replied: " omg really....must have burnt wrong ill email them omg". 

This was on Aug. 21. She has not sent me any pictures. I sent a number of emails which I have not received replies for. I also went to her website and noticed that she was using one of my photos to promote her business, without my permission. My boyfriend and I sent some more emails of a more threatening nature, mentioning that there may be grounds for legal action (she was using a popular song on her business website, presumably without copyright, as well as using my photo to promote her business without my permission and without even having delivered on her end of the business transaction).

Today I tried one last time to contact her and found that her email address, website, and phone number are no longer in use. 

Be wary of this photographer. She may be operating under a different business name, but watch out for the name Sabrina Brindle. I suspect she isn't really a "con artist" per se but she did mention that she had quit a retail management position to try to pursue photography full time. She may have found she "bit off more than she could chew" and was not ready for a photography career. I make this judgment based on the fact that of the 7 pictures I saw, only a couple of them looked to be of real professional quality, though if she practiced she may have gotten better with time. Regardless, it was completely unacceptable for her to take my money and then both fail to deliver and fail to respond to any attempts to contact her.
