Would you consider coming back to the area to show the other side of the county? Like all of the hard working coal miners of this area and the abuse that they put their bodies through day in and day out. It really irritates me that people only want to come to this area to show how stupid or screwed up we are. Why didn’t you go interview the drug company’s who saw they could make millions giving dumb, broke down coal miners a powerful drug such as oxytocin? Maybe while your there you could ask them how much money they give to the local school system for local drug awareness? Or if they try and fund any after school programs to help keep kids off the streets and out of their mom and dad’s medicine cabinet. That’s the real tragedy here!

She calls herself a professional photographer because she is. She gets paid to take photographs. That’s the definition of professional photographer.
As for your second statement, you are dead wrong. It’s perfectly legal to take someone’s photograph without their consent. Anyone or anything that can be seen from a public place is at their own risk for being photographed. As for the others, she had permission to enter their homes and take their photographs. There is no, "Oh sorry I don’t like how they turned out" clause.

I know over half of those kids, and she did in fact manipulate them, because if they had of known that they would be made public, they would have never done it. Also ,there is not a church in all of St. Charles, or the surrounding area that practices snakehandling and the men and women sit together. I think she’s watched to many movies! Snakehandling hasn’t went on in this area since the early 1900’s. Also ,the houses where she took the pics are condemned and no one lives in them. HA HA the jokes on you, the public, you all have been deceived by her. My grandmother and other members of my family still live in St. Charles in nice middle-class homes. Why didn’t she take pics of them? She certainly didn’t approach any of them because she only wanted you to see the bad in our community. She had to find the worst condemened houses in order to make her point.
