This is your sign that natural light photographers do not have to be scared of constant light. The key is understanding color temperature because once your light source, white balance, and skin tones start speaking the same language, everything gets easier. I cannot wait to share more details about my upcoming workshop, The Art of Being Seen, where we will talk about lighting, creativity, confidence, and creating images that feel intentional instead of accidental. Stay close because the details are coming soon.

Hey
We are about to lose our housing. I need raise a little money to catch up. I am applying left to right for jobs. Again, this is embarrassing and having support is making me extremely down and depressed. Honestly, I don’t know how much I cam take. This is getting to me ways. Please like and share…..

Being seen is not always bright. Sometimes it happens in the quiet, in the dim light, in those in between moments where you are still trying to find your way. Not every version of you is loud or confident. Some versions are softer, questioning, still becoming, and those versions deserve to be seen too. That is where the magic lives for me. Not just in the light, but in the shadows that shape it.

I have a deep love for contemporary portraiture, especially when it leans into painterly light and rich, earthy tones. There is something timeless about creating images that feel like they belong on a canvas, not just a screen. I am already looking forward to my next session, and even more excited to step back into the space as an educator.

I stayed in the dark longer than I ever planned, not because I wanted to but because sometimes healing is quiet. Sometimes it looks like hiding, like surviving, like just trying to breathe through it all. But here’s the thing about me, I don’t stay there. Even when it’s heavy, even when it feels like too much, even when my hands are shaking and I’m not sure what’s next, I still reach for the light. This version of me is still healing, still soft, still learning how to exist again, but she’s also rising. And baby, when I step fully into the light, you’re going to feel it.

This isn’t easy for me to share, but I’m still in a place where I could really use some help.

I’m currently facing an unexpected financial situation and I’m still short on what I need to make it through the end of the month. My goal is to reach $4,500 so I can get caught up and have a little room to breathe.

I want to take a moment to genuinely thank everyone who has already donated, shared, or even sent kind words. It means more to me than I can fully put into words. Y’all have shown me what community really looks like, and I don’t take that lightly.

Right now, I am actively looking for work in both health and wellness and photography. I’m open to anything that will help me stay afloat and move forward. If you know of opportunities, gigs, or connections, please send them my way.

If you’re able to give, I would deeply appreciate it. If not, sharing this campaign is just as meaningful and helps more than you know.

Thank you for seeing me, supporting me, and standing with me during this time. I’m doing my best to push through and get back on my feet.

With gratitude,
Tosha
