📸 BUY A PIECE OF THE LENS 🐦

Help The Silent Shutter reach its dream wildlife lens!

There’s a piece of equipment I’ve been dreaming about for my wildlife photography: a Nikon 600mm f/4.

A brand-new one is around $15,000, but I’m setting my sights on finding a quality used one for approximately $4,000.

That’s where YOU can help! ❤️

I’m launching my “Buy a Piece of the Lens” campaign!

Instead of simply asking for donations, I want to give something back to everyone who helps me reach this goal. Every contribution will go directly toward purchasing the lens that will allow me to take my bird and wildlife photography to the next level.

🐦 HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

$10 — A Little Piece of the Lens
📸 1 digital wildlife image

$25 — A Bigger Piece
📸 2 digital wildlife images

$50 — Wildlife Supporter
🖼️ Signed 8×10 wildlife print

$100 — Wildlife Patron
🖼️ Signed 11x14 wildlife print

$150 — Photography Supporter
📸 10-minute portrait mini session + 8x10 signed wildlife or portrait print (portrait print is unsigned unless requested)

$250 — Silent Shutter Supporter
📸 20-minute family mini session + 8x10 signed wildlife or family print (family print is unsigned unless requested)

$500 — Dream Lens Sponsor
📸 Full family/portrait session + large signed wildlife print + special recognition as a major supporter

Examples of my wildlife work can be viewed on my portfolio website.

🦉 THE GOAL: $4,000

I'm setting the goal slightly above the approximately $3,500 purchase price to allow for taxes, shipping, and any necessary inspection or servicing of a used lens.

Every $10, $25, $50, booking, print purchase, share, and word of mouth gets me closer.

And when I finally have that 600mm in my hands, I want the first wildlife photographs I take with it to be a thank-you to the people who helped make it possible. ❤️

I'll be sharing updates along the way so you can watch the progress!

If you'd like to buy a piece of the lens, send me a message and I'll get you set up!

And if you can't contribute, sharing this post is just as appreciated. 🐦❤️

Thank you for supporting my photography, my small business, and this dream of mine.
