Hi hello there, I am back and here with an update about how my March 2022 is shaping up.
For those that aren't aware, I have officially left my nannying job for now and have been working a lot more in my retail job. But I will discuss that and my availability more in depth below.
I have also taken this week off due to my current living situation and also due to my mental health. My current living situation is that I have sold my property and am in the process of finding somewhere to move. I've been telling you all for months that I am trying to move but now its actual crunch time and I don't have a whole heap of time left.
As for my mental health, well as can be expected with all of the changes my anxiety isn't doing 100% which also drags the rest of me down and leaves me feeling more tired then usual, I also get more physically ill when I am mentally unwell so I haven't had the best of times.
My Current Work Situation
Since the middle of December I have been working more in retail, this was only meant to be Christmas Casual job but we were low on staff so I was kept on just for the two days a week.
Well, almost 2 weeks ago now, we had another staff member leave, leaving us even more short of staff and giving me more hours to pick up to help out my Manager and the company.
This now means that I am working everyday except for Monday's and Friday's until we can find someone else to cover some of the hours.
This means that I will only have Night times and Monday's & Friday's for shoots which limits quite a lot of you and I do apologise for that.
If I have any extra free days for shoots pop up I will post the availability to my Instagram but will of course be taking preference to those that have been waiting the longest.
I am hoping that by April I will have more availability for you guys but for now, March is going to be very tricky when it comes to bookings.
When I do have a spare minute I will make a calendar with my available and already booked days and will try my best to accomodate for as many of you as I can.
My Rates
A lot of you have also messaged over this week asking for a list of my rates for photoshoots, my rates are as follows;
Fashion - $80 Per hour
Bikini - $90 Per hour
Lingerie - $95 Per hour
Topless - $100 Per hour
Implied Nude - $120 Per hour* *Will not be done first shoot together; Will be based on my comfort level with yourself; Will not be offered if I'm not comfortable.
I am more then happy to work out a payment plan that suits you to ensure you are able to afford a shoot and am also negotiable when it comes to rates and working out a half day or full day rate based on what you require and for how many hours but it is always best to message or email before assuming.
TFP (Time for print)
I will not be taking on any new photographers on a TFP basis during the month of March. I have enough TFP photographers that would also like to shoot so I must take priority to those that have asked prior and with this month's availability being so limited, I cannot, on good conscience, promise anymore of you TFP for this month.
I will go back over this at the start of April dependent on how my availability is looking for the month but for now, TFP Bookings are closed.
My Instagram and Social Media presence
As most of us know or have seen, I have shoot a lot over the past year and a half so content will honestly never be an issue for me. What is going to be an issue with the longer hours at work is going to be my physical lack of time for answering enquires and also for posting in general. I will try to post daily still, if not every second day but if I do disappear for a few days at a time, at least you guys know why.
Lastly..
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For your patience with me the past week and my late replies, for those of you that have copped a cancellation within the past two weeks without a single complaint, for those of you that have reached out and checked on me every few days and for those that have kept my account alive by posting me over the past week.
You guys mean a lot and while I might not be a responsive I am still thinking of all of you and hoping you're all out there living your best lives 😊
