Image Credits

We take image ownership seriously at midlifely.com. This page explains where the visuals on our recipes, health and wellness, home organization, and fashion pages come from, how we license or credit them, and what to do if you believe one of your images has been used without proper permission. If anything here raises a question, our Contact page is the fastest way to reach us.

Where Our Images Come From

The photos, graphics, and illustrations you see across our pages fall into a few categories: original photography taken by our team or contributors, images licensed from stock photography and vector libraries, and, occasionally, third-party images used with explicit permission or under a license that allows editorial use. We do not knowingly publish copyrighted material without a valid license, attribution, or written consent from the rights holder.

For recipe posts, many images are shot in-house or sourced from properly licensed food photography libraries. For fashion and style roundups, outfit and product images typically come from licensed stock collections or are shared with permission from the brands or creators featured. Home organization and wellness imagery follows the same standard: licensed, original, or explicitly permitted.

Licensed and Stock Imagery

A large portion of our visual content is sourced from reputable stock image platforms under standard or extended commercial licenses. These licenses typically permit use on a content website like ours without requiring a visible credit line, but we still aim to keep internal records of the source and license terms for every image we publish. If you are a stock contributor and want to verify how your work is being used, feel free to write to us at [email protected] with the image details.

Third-Party Attribution

When we use an image created by another photographer, illustrator, brand, or creator, we do our best to credit that source directly beneath or near the image, or within the photo caption. If you spot an image on our site that you created and that lacks proper credit, we want to fix that quickly. Please reach out through our Contact page with a link to the page in question and details about your ownership, and we will review it promptly.

We also want to be transparent about how visual content interacts with the rest of our editorial process. Our Editorial Policy outlines how we vet sources generally, including images, and our Disclaimer explains the broader limits of how content on this site, visual or written, should be interpreted and used by readers.

Reuse and Permission Rules

Unless otherwise noted, the images published on midlifely.com are protected by copyright and are not available for republishing, redistribution, or commercial reuse without our written permission or the permission of the original rights holder. If you would like to use one of our images elsewhere — in a blog post, newsletter, or social media graphic — please contact us first so we can confirm whether reuse is permitted and under what conditions.

• Do not download and republish our images on another website without permission.
• Do not remove or alter existing photo credits or watermarks.
• Do not use our images to imply endorsement of a product or service without our consent.
• Personal, non-commercial use such as saving an image for private reference (for example, pinning a recipe or outfit idea) is generally fine, but please review our Pinterest Disclaimer for specifics on how we approach saving and sharing content on Pinterest.

Brand and Product Images

Some of our fashion and style content, as well as select wellness and home organization posts, may feature product images provided directly by brands, retailers, or affiliate partners for editorial illustration purposes. These images remain the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion does not necessarily indicate a paid partnership; where a financial relationship does exist, it is disclosed separately in our Affiliate Disclaimer and Disclosure pages.

Requesting Credit or a Takedown

We respect the rights of photographers, illustrators, and brands, and we respond seriously to legitimate credit and takedown requests. If you own an image published on this site and it is missing a credit, incorrectly credited, or you would prefer it be removed entirely, please send us the following so we can act quickly:

• The exact URL of the page where the image appears
• A description or screenshot of the image in question
• Proof or a reasonable explanation of your ownership or licensing rights
• Your preferred resolution — proper credit, a correction, or removal

Send these details to [email protected] and we will review your request and respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within a few business days.
