She stole them. What else can she claim. They are not 'similar' pictures,
they are the same pictures. Cut a little, flip a little. Jeez, at least
mask out the background or do something to make them different.
If it was me, I'd find a lawyer at a firm with impressive letterhead. I'd
pay them the fee to write a very stern letter, complete with threats, to
either cease and desist or to provide 'provenance', such as paid invoices
from the client for the work. If she doesn't do both, threaten to sue. And
do it.
I'm not a sue happy guy, not having sued anyone in my life, but I would
protect my livelihood. More importantly, I would protect my reputation. If
this person used my work as their own and then do poor work, it could come
back to haunt me.
My 2 cents.
