No- I wouldn't have thought so.
But let's be clear about this, stick to these rules and you'll be fine-
1. Only use pictures you have bought. You must keep any transaction information (i.e. Payment info or order confirmation). If it's been done electronically, print it out.
2. You can also use pictures that you've been given by your suppliers. Again, same rules, keep any "proof" that you've been allowed to use them.
3. If you've purchased a picture, check the license. Not every picture can be used for any purpose.
4. Don't use images of celebrities- for example, I've had someone ask me this morning to use an image of Marilyn Monroe in a logo- which is illegal.
5. If you're going to pay for a photographer to use his or her images, check out the terms of agreement on the use of the photos.
6. If you're lucky enough to find some "free" images, check check and double check if they are actually free for commercial use.
No-one is going to get sued for using an image in a kids homework, or for showing someone Rhiannas latest hair-cut via Facebook.
The difference is that the OP (lets be honest here, regardless of age, or how small a business she might represent) - is trying to make money using images she ought not to. That's how these companies see it. And its pretty black and white.
Stick to those points and you'll be fine- and if you're unsure, ask a professional.
