Help Me Fight for Fairness in Court and Keep My Legal Team

Hey friends,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever written and truthfully, my pride has kept me from asking for help until now. But as a single mama with one income and a mountain of legal bills, I’m at a place where I can’t do this alone anymore.

For the first time in years, my photography business has slowed down. The usual spring and summer bookings just haven’t come in the way they used to. At the same time, I’m facing tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees from an ongoing custody battle that’s taken an enormous emotional and financial toll on our little family.

My daughter Evelyn’s dad appealed our final custody order last fall, which means we’re headed back to court. We have until the end of July to prepare, but unless I can make a significant dent in the current $8,000 balance, my legal team will have to withdraw and I’ll be left without representation for what could be one of the most important hearings yet.

All I want is a fair trial. A chance to stand up for Evelyn’s wellbeing with the right support behind me.

The stress of this situation emotionally, mentally, financially has been incredibly heavy. I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat and keep life steady for Evelyn, but I’m also exhausted. I know so many of you have been cheering me on quietly, and I’m so grateful for that. If you’ve ever been on the fence about booking a session, now would mean the world. And if you feel called to share this or refer a friend, I’d be so thankful.

Whether it’s $5, a share, a prayer, or just a kind word, thank you for being in my corner.

With all my heart,

Stephanie
