Default Website Photos-using SU?

Hi
I'm thinking about having a designer create a website (not just a blog) where I can sell my cards. I would also have information about Stampin' Up! promotions and have the link to my Stampin' Up demonstrator page where people could buy the actual products too. I can have a blog on the site as well. Stampin' Up! allows us to use their photos on blogs and websites, but I don't really feel right about using them on my website. My husband and I tried taking photos, but even though he's a good photographer, you really need a product photographer with the right lights and other things. Should I use their photos until I can get a photographer? Lots of people use SU photos on their blogs, but because this is more of a business website, I guess I feel different about it. What do you think? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Contact compliance at SU and see what they tell you. Any response you get here will be speculation. Always better to get it from 'the horse's mouth'. KWIM?

Yes, SU allows it, but I am wondering what others think. Would you use their photos on your website? Does it misrepresent me, even though I'm selling the SU products and my cards are made only with SU products?

Not as long as you identify them as SU samples and not your own.
