Important Announcement
🕑 Added 2024-12-15 20:52:02 +0000 UTCHi everyone! I hope you've had an amazing December thus far. Before I get into the announcement, I wanted to let y'all know that I'm shooting this month's content next Saturday, so expect new stuff the week of Christmas. You might even get some extra content, if you're good. 😉
Now, on to the actual announcement:
Beginning in 2025, I will be stepping back from my regular, monthly content creation schedule.
This journey has been incredible, and I've had a wonderful time creating and collaborating with so many amazing models. And you, my fans and Patrons, have been absolutely wonderful to me, and I'm grateful for all of you. However, what started as a just-for-fun hobby has increasingly transformed into more of a second job, and it's beginning to consume a larger portion of my life than I had intended when I first started out. The tasks of scheduling a shoot, booking a venue, buying outfits, traveling to the venue, doing the shoot, editing the content, releasing the content and advertising on various social media sites are all very cumbersome, especially when you consider that I also have a full-time job as a healthcare provider. Fitting all of this into my monthly schedule has become increasingly difficult, and the obligation to create content is starting to make the process much less enjoyable for me than it once was. Also, I feel that the pressure of having to rush to release content regularly has decreased the quality of my content - a fact that you may have noticed in the last year.
I want to get back to creating content that I WANT to create, not content that I feel I HAVE to create. Relieving myself of the pressure of monthly deadlines and creating content on my own schedule might be a step in the right direction to that end. Starting next year, I'll be releasing content more sporadically. If a traveling model comes to my city and wants to shoot, we'll shoot. If I get inspiration on a specific cosplay or theme, I'll shoot. If someone local reaches out, I'll shoot. But I can't promise that I'll be shooting content every month going forward.
So what's changing?
1. I will be reducing the number of Tiers to two starting next month. I'll keep the Archive Tier as-is, and another tier will be created for my most recent projects. As I do more projects, older ones will be moved to the Archives.
2. I will be switching to a different subscription model. Instead of the billing cycle being reset on the 1st of the month, it will switch to a full 30-day cycle from the day you are subscribed. That way you can come and go as you please and take the content you want when I release it.
3. The content will vary. I might just do a photoshoot, I might release a video (most likely, I love doing videos), I might release a full-length movie. This way I can take my time and create quality content for y'all instead of trying to deliver a pre-determined type of content, like I've been doing.
I want to be clear: this is NOT the end. I still have tons of content ideas I want to try, and there are still lots of models I want to work with that I haven't yet. I am OVERFLOWING with creativity. The only thing changing is the schedule - instead of doing a monthly shoot, I'll be shooting whenever inspiration hits or the opportunity arises. This way I'm not under pressure to release content and can spend my time being creative and enjoying the experience.
Thank you all for sticking with me throughout these last few years. You have been amazing and I appreciate every single one of you. I hope you will continue to stick around next year, as I promise there will be some good shoots coming from me, even if they're not as regular as they usually are. In fact, I'm currently in talks with a new model for a shoot next month, so you'll definitely have some January content to look forward to.
If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know.
