Hi beautiful people,

Thank you got reading this; it’s not something I’ve ever wanted to write.

The last month has been so hard on me that I’m considering closing my biz, which is honestly so devastating.

During a flight home from melb a month ago ALL of the main equipment I use for my shoots has been damaged and has needed to be replaced. My camera, my main lens, my lighting, my memory cards - I’ve borrowed from family and friends and have now put myself deeply in debt trying to stay afloat.

All of this has happened while moving house, paying rent & fees on my former house and my car suddenly completely dying on me while I was driving 80kmph with my kids in the back.

I’ve been having panic and anxiety attacks for the first time in 3 years because I am cracking under the stress. I’m normally such a strong person, but feel so exhausted after so many unfortunate things happening in a row.

The stress has caused my chronic pain to flare up so badly I have horrible constant nerve pain in my hands, wrists and elbows making things like editing my photos, driving and even typing this very difficult. As many of you know, I also suffer from endometriosis and the pain from this alone is so excruciating I can’t move for hours during a flare up.

My best friends are encouraging me to do a go fund me because I am clearly very burnt out and need a break from working to recover emotionally, mentally and creatively. I normally feel like such a force of nature and don’t even recognize myself right now

I know it’s close to Christmas and we are all feeling the cost of living pressure, so if you can spare anything to help me recover I would really appreciate it from the depth of my soul ♥️
