To those of you who follow through on their pledge I want to say from the depths of my heart THANK YOU! I appreciate you beyond measure and I am so grateful that you enjoy my work and are willing to support my creative ventures and enable me to be there for my family is this dark and rough time.
However to those who don't,
I'm posting this because I just want to reiterate that it is not ok to enjoy my work and then remove your pledge right before payout and then pledge again right after. That is stealing, flat out theft. Just because my work is not a product you can touch it is still a product and if you want to enjoy it you need to pay for it. As you can see in the photo, this month $460 worth of my content was stolen and guess what? This is my income. This isn't some side pocket money that I use to buy fancy frilly things. I wish. This is my rent, my utilities and food. So when you are stealing my content, you will be blocked and blacklisted to other Patreon models so you can't disrespect them as well and threaten their livelihood.
Last year I was shooting all over the world and so Patreon was only part of my income and I wasn't posting as much on Patreon but I have not been able to travel due to some family issues and once that's resolved I will be traveling again but for now this is my sole income source and it is really detrimental when people don't honor their word.
If you have to remove your pledge or lower it because you can't afford it and you communicate with me and let me know what's going on I'll be the first to understand cause I'm the queen of being broke and struggling lol but please be in communication so I do not assume you're trying to dodge the pledge and re-pledge without paying repeatedly and get blocked. I know London Andrews has posted about this issue before so I'm sorry if this is repeatative for those that follow her but I'm still figuring things out here and had to make this PSA. thank you for your support and patience.
