💗 A little personal post + A SNAPPLE! 📸🍎
Hello everyone, this is Zaylee. she is my youngest daughter, and she is starting helmet therapy. Thankfully, nothing major is wrong — we caught her head shape early, and her doctor is hopeful that with the helmet, she’ll only need it for around 6 months. She’ll be wearing it about 23 hours a day, with it only coming off for bath time.
The one downside we weren’t expecting? The only place that accepts her insurance is 3 hours away from us — ONE WAY. 😅
Her next appointment is next Friday, and after that we’ll have to make the trip once a month so they can monitor her growth and make sure everything is reshaping the way it should. Between gas, appointments, and everything else that comes with having a house full of kids, it’s definitely an expense we weren’t planning for.
Each trip is roughly $100 in gas alone. 🫠
And as most of you know, photography has slowed WAY down with this heat, so I’m not exactly rolling in extra money right now. 😂
So instead of asking for donations, I decided to do what I know how to do — a SNAPPLE! 📸🍎
📸 THE SNAPPLE 📸
Here’s how it works:
🎟️ $10 = 1 entry
🎟️ $20 = 2 entries
🎟️ $50 = 5 entries
🎟️ $100 = 10 entries
For every $100 we raise, I will draw ONE winner for a photography session!
That means:
💰 $100 raised = 1 winner
💰 $200 raised = 2 winners
💰 $300 raised = 3 winners
💰 $400 raised = 4 winners
💰 $500 raised = 5 WINNERS! 🎉
And we keep going from there!
I’ll draw and announce a winner every time we hit another $100 milestone, so you don’t have to wait until the end to see if you won!
All money raised will go toward helping cover the gas and travel expenses for her helmet appointments.
If you’ve ever wanted to book a session with me, this is a fun way to potentially WIN one while also helping us out a little. ❤️
And if you can’t participate, sharing this post means just as much. Seriously.
I hate asking for help, but I also know there’s no shame in admitting when things are a little tight. I’m working, I’m doing what I can, and I’m taking care of my babies — sometimes you just need a little village along the way. 🫶🏻
To enter, send your entry fee and put “SNAPPLE” in the memo. 📸🍎
Let’s see how many photography sessions we can give away! ❤️
Thank you to everyone who supports Shoot Me Photography, whether you book with me, share my posts, or simply cheer me on. It means more than you know. 🥹❤️
*more info on how to enter is posted in the comments.*🤍
EDIT:
Just to clarify because I’m seeing a lot of doctor recommendations in the comments: I am happy with her doctor. She has already been seen and evaluated by this doctor, and I am not looking to switch providers. On top of that, this is the only doctor in the area that FULLY accepts her insurance.
I appreciate everyone trying to help, but I’m not looking for recommendations to change her doctor. ❤️
