Oh, wait.
Presuming you made your package pricing clear up front (so they knew what they were getting into) I'm going to agree with the above. Everything I've read of late talks about in-person sales, where you show the images (Animoto, printed 5x7s, laptop and lightroom, whatever) in person only. They don't have a gallery until they buy something; for example, you throw in small, watermarked images for FB/etc.
At the very least, having a specified timeframe (30 days?) to review and purchase, then the gallery gets taken down, may be helpful, but I doubt it. They likely did just take screenshots or figured out how to nab them from your site.
It's tragic what people find acceptable.
I am rethinking how I do portrait because of this potential problem, although to date I've not had your situation bite me in the a$$. I'd prefer to head that off.
Find the right/ideal customer is hard. Send a final prompt, chalk it up to experience, and move on.
Oh, and take their images down.
