❤️UPDATE.. 6 HRS IN AND Y'ALL SHOWED UP! I'VE MET MY GOAL BETWEEN THE SPOTFUND AND VENMO.. IM CLOSING THE DONATION LINK.
Y'ALL ARE SERIOUSLY THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND REASSURING ME RHAT GOOD KARMA COMES BACK AROUND 10X. IM CRYING WITH GRATITUDE❤️❤️
This makes me nauseous to post, but I’m going to ask for help.
My camera has started failing. Photography is my passion, my business, and one of the ways I get to help women see themselves differently through bo***ir. I’m usually the one trying to show up for other people, and asking you to show up for me feels really hard.
I got some shots I’m so proud of at the Arcadia Valley Lions Club Rodeo last weekend. I was peppered with arena dirt several times, and that’s the only thing I can think of that might have happened to my camera. I can’t say for sure. What I do know is that it’s now malfunctioning during sessions, and my insurance would basically break even with the deductible.
I had planned to use my fall session profits to start saving for a Nikon Z5II. Right now, I need a dependable camera to get through the sessions people have already trusted me with. I found a good deal on another D750, the same model I use now, with a very low advertised shutter count. That would give me time to keep working and save for the upgrade next year.
If you’re able to help me toward it, I would be incredibly grateful. If you can’t, sharing this means a lot too. Please message me if you’d like to help. 🖤
I also want to give away a family session with Muffin Photography as a thank-you. Anyone who gives $50 or more will be entered in a chance to win that.
