Last spring, I threw together a breastfeeding power point to use at a local health festival that I was attending in a volunteer capacity.  It was the first time I have ever created a power point and I discovered how much nicer it was with pictures!  I used some internet pictures for things such as a can of powdered formula, an IV pole, a silhouette of a pregnant belly and some mothers breastfeeding.  My husband told me that if I wasn't being paid, that such photos were okay to use under fair use laws?  I did get permission for a few of the photos because they were for issues specific to lactation and I knew who owned the rights to them.

I didn't end up having anyone attend the presentation because  the demographic was older and more interested in the sessions about heart health and diabetes and such, but  I really love how the power point turned out and I would like to be able to use this for more situations, volunteer and professional.  I need to figure out how to purchase the right to use the photos (or find replacement photos to purchase).

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to do this in a way that is cost effective?  Is there any kind of discount for professionals who are creating educational materials?
