❤️ Well said, Kylie!
Why supporting local matters 📸
Just wanted to make everyone aware of something as we continue into sports seasons with so many new athletes & families following my work. 🤍
Recently, I’ve had a few situations where people have removed my watermark using AI, screenshotted photos, or found ways around purchasing images. I know many people may not realize the impact of that, so I just wanted to share a little more behind the scenes of what I do.
I freelance sports photography because I truly love capturing memories for this community, the athletes & the teams. While I do make money when photos are purchased after galleries are posted, it can vary a lot & isn’t always consistent. That’s why I also work a part time job, freelance for Indiana Preps & take on other photography gigs alongside sports.
A lot of people may not realize this, but just like everyone else, I have everyday expenses too like bills, gas, travel, equipment, editing software & everything that comes with running a photography business. Every photo purchase & support truly helps me continue doing what I love and allows me to keep showing up for these athletes and teams.
This post is not meant to shame anyone or come across as pushy. I simply wanted to bring awareness to how much support truly matters for photographers & creatives. If anyone has ever wanted to support my work beyond purchasing photos, sponsoring a game, donating toward travel/equipment costs, or partnering with me in any way, it would truly help me continue growing and keep this going for the community. 🤍
This dream means so much to me & my goal is to one day work in professional sports while continuing to serve & capture memories along the way. I truly love doing this with my whole heart & I’m beyond thankful for everyone who supports my work, shares my posts, purchases photos, or simply encourages me on this journey. None of it goes unnoticed.
