I am offering the following incentives at less than half of my rate for these services:
$111: I will craft you a custom set of herbal medicine tailored to your needs. I am a certified herbalist and make a variety of tinctures, teas, poultices, salves, and oils for medicinal and cosmetic use.
$150: an hour long portrait session at an agreed upon location in the Bay Area
$300: a photoshoot of 3-4 looks at an agreed upon location in the Bay Area ~or~ a 2-3 hour shoot helping you present your brand, practice, art, or business
$450: A full-day shoot with me as a model when I'm traveling to your area or you are traveling to mine. This perk comes with the stipulation of my usual set of standards and discernment of who I choose to create with this way, so please email me privately to see if it's a fit for us to work together.
$500: I will serve as an assistant/second shooter to a wedding photographer in the Bay Area
$1500: I will shoot a wedding! This is an amazing deal for someone already looking to hire someone for their big day, and I would be incredibly grateful to receive enough to cover the price of a new camera in the name of love. Your choice to hire me for your celebration of love would be an incredibly meaningful offering to me at this moment of need.
With a heavy and humble heart I am reaching out to my community for support. The past year has been spent diligently building my photography career and trying to expand myself to reach and heal as many as I can through my chosen medium. My primary focus has been the celebration of love and personal empowerment, especially for artists and healers, through acheiving the highest visualization of their potential through imagery.
Last night someone broke into my car and stole my photography equipment out of my trunk after a hard day's work. I lost all the tools I use, including my backup set that I always carry with me to ensure my ability to deliver and the photos for an anniversary party I was photographing. I lost several years worth of investment in myself, my career, and my passion, as well as my tool for making my personal touch on the lives of many through the tools I have.
Those of you who know me know this: I care deeply about those I photograph and about people in general. I am a healer by nature and through various conduits I find most true to myself and the medicine I carry. The primary guiding light for me throughout my life has been image and photography...healing our ideas around being witnessed that hinder our most free expression of our true selves, and offering the way I see life and humanity in a way that encourages all to expand their view of themselves and their view of the world.
In this moment of humility and with as much grace as I can call upon I reach out to my community. I've been a supporter to many in dollar and deed and in this moment I sincerelyneed your help to keep creating and thriving on my path as a creator. This medium is 3/4th of my income at the present time, so I'm writing with more than a little fear, trepidation, and vulnerability right now. It's hard for me to ask for the things I need. I need this. All puzzles can be solved and I trust that, but I know too that a big teaching I call upon for myself and others is that as humans we don't need to go it alone. I have lived a large portion of my life devoted to community, that of the arts and that of subculture. I have held others in the best way I have believed I could along this journey, whether through an ear, an encouraging conversation, or a freely-given support of tools I have through photography, lightwork, and herbalism.
I'm trusting in this moment that the world has seen me through all ways I have strived to reach and connect to all of you through my path in this life. It's hard. I'm sitting in my underwear with an almost empty glass of wine in the fading sunlight of this fine Sunday I had set aside for much needed rest and relaxation during this busy time of push and expansion. There's a good helping of guilt and shame that are co-creators of mine in that I could have done that one extra thing, the one more detail in this ever building web of lessons and refinement. I know that, and I have pushed that agenda of protection and perfection as hard as I can. Today I see what I always fear, and that is that anything can happen. With that comes the possibility of infinite pain and infinite potential. I'm doing me best to see this as a moment of rebirth and a closer homecoming to realization of my potential as an artist and to my actualization of self. It's also just hard...hard to ask for help and hard to trust. Please help me heal the wounds around that, for me and for all.
I need help right now. The setup I had was one well-thoughtout for what I needed to express my vision through this craft. I am not married to this approach and open myself to learning and refinement. The tools I used that were stolen were as follows:
Nikon d610: $1600
Warranty-3years: $346
Nikon d200: $1400
Sigma 30mm 1.4: $400
Sigma 50mm 1.4: $400
Nikon 24-85mm 2.8: $600
Nikon SB 700 speedlight: $350
Nikon SB 800: $500
Lightbender RogueLG: $60
Extra battery charger and battery set: $27
Memory cards(sd enough for full weddings): $215
Bower photo backpack: $25
Nikon camera bag: $45
Nikon lensbaby: $250
Etsy camera strap cover $32
Job I photographed today: $450 I won't be able to provide them photos so will not be paid. I will try to rectify the situation with offering free portrait sessions
All of these items are available for verity through receipt or serial number. Nothing here is exagerrated in terms of money spent personally by me or received as gifts, and all are needed for me to create through this medium. I must have a camera setup, backup, and a variety of lightmodifiers to provide this service to others. I have never shown up to shoot an event of session without a backup present. I would never compromise my ability to provide my promised level of service on someone's wedding day or for any day for which they choose to hire me. I would be ever grateful to have equipment donated rather than money, and am open to switching to Canon or staying with Nikon.
Please help me to provide this level of quality and dedication to you now and in all ways, always. I am a grounded person dedicated to my craft today and always. Please support me in my way of supporting the world through upliftment, nurturing, and witness.
I have offered perks within my known capacity to reach and heal. I am open to further possibilities based on what you know of me. Feel free to reach out to me and offer new opportunities. I am open to new mediums and new ways of knowing. Blessings, infinite.
