I don't see anyone putting blame on her. She asked a question and it seems obvious that she's confused about why the shop would have a problem with pictures. The other posters are simply answering her question.
I reviewed the rest of the OP's post and to be honest, I don't see a lot of rudeness here. I see frustration and hurt.

Yes, the saleswoman could have handled it better; she could have done all those things everyone else has suggested, such as explaining why they'd prefer no pictures, suggesting some patterns, etc. But I don't know that it's worth all the offense everyone has taken, and it seems to be that it would be more productive to have a conversation about the incident with the owner.
