Hi-res in the Caterpillar Tier!

Older sets available through link in Patreon and Gumroad as well!

Since covid has been devastating business we have had to make some changes to things, like offering older sets!

They were always available to all Patrons but now are available to anyone through Gumroad! This is to help try to get some passive income into the studios until we can open again!

Older sets are being updated there now and will have all of them shortly!

I will also be offering new images sets there as well!

July Studio Updates

Crazy times.

So, I was planning to open up Wonderland for clients again on the 18th of this month, but needed to push it to the 21st to get some things we are working on done first. Such as a new bedroom set for use!

But yesterday, the Governor announced another shutdown of businesses starting tomorrow. So essentially I am shutdown before opening again haha. (I laugh so I don't cry)

What does this all mean?

Well, to be honest, not sure. I am still keeping up the business with payments, such as lease and utilities and such (because there is no relief from that) and I will continue to do so as long as I can.

I have applied and received some loans from the government, but again, they are loans. So debt. With attached restrictions on these loans. So I have to be very careful on how and when to use it.

Working on edits from home causes me to go slow as my system here just isn't as powerful as what I have in studio to work on. Not to mention no real shoots as of yet.

What we WILL change though, is that I will be attempting to shoot outside and doing controlled shoots in my studio (with friends and models who are ok with being outside).

So expect some new images soon, hopefully, and not just edits!

Also, yes, I am going to follow through and complete the upgrades to the studio that we were in the process of doing before this new shutdown was announced. So we will have a completed bedroom set soon that will be popping up in images, plus 1 or 2 more.

We will keep fighting to stay alive as all of you are too.

You guys already support us through this Patreon and I can't thank you guys enough.

We made a new link, a ko-fi one, so the rest of the world can help if they would like as well. Feel free to share it if you don't mind as we can use all the help we can get!

Please stay healthy guys, and lets hope we can have a speedy recovery to this situation or at least a good solution for now.

Trying to get images to come out, hi -res is in the Caterpillar Tier!

Same folder as last month, no changes has been made for June :]

June 2020 Updates

Hey gang, sorry there has been some slow times here. I wanted to give you guys some updates on everything happening over here on my end!

First off, since May was slower due to Covid and so many other factors, I will leave up the May hi res folder and continue adding to it this month.

Ok, SO, as for the opening of Wonderland Studios again, we aren't as of yet. I will be keeping the studio closed through June for certain. Places around here are starting to open, and rapidly, but not because it was deemed safe but because people wanted to 'normalize' faster. 

A studio, especially one like ours, which has a good amount of space with tons of props and backdrops, would almost be IMPOSSIBLE to completely sanitize before and after each client uses the space.

There are studios that are opening, and they are simply stating they will require masks, will provide wipes, and will be cleaning when they open and when they close the studio. That, to me, is not enough to protect me, my crew and the clients. I just won't chance it.

So, what that means, is that in the meantime, I have to deal with more stress staying closed. We are still required and have always been required to keep paying the lease for the space as well as all utilities and what not to keep things going. Health and safety always first, but you can see where my stress keeps gradually building haha.

Speaking of such, since this has all started, I have had a massive increase in migraines and vertigo. These bouts seem to hit almost every week now and the vertigo alone keeps me dizzy for 2 - 3 days at a minimum. It is completely debilitating. I am literally not able to handle lights, staring at screens, etc.

I have meds, which seem to help a little, but until the world calms down, this is probably going to keep happening. I would be lying if getting dizzy this often wasn't also causing me to be more worried about my health.

Possibly this month, I hope to be out and about at some point and maybe even start shooting. Maybe haha. I can keep good distance and it may work, but it's not something im exactly counting on to happen but it IS a goal! 

Lastly, editing at home is just so much slower. My system at home can barely handle one or more images being edited now at a time, so that puts a damper on my speed as well.

I wanted to just be upfront with everything happening in life right now. I am absolutely not able to do even 1/10th of what I want to be doing for myself and for all of you, but I will keep trying!

I have also applied for and received some benefits from the govt for help with keeping my business afloat, but that comes with is own HUGE headaches because they don't just give you help. They provide you SOME monetary relief but give you a TON of restrictions on how the funds are to be used ALONG with keeping insane records or else I end up owing them back.

Fun times.

I truly hope all of you are doing ok and doing your best to stay healthy and strong. We will all come back together at some point, we just have to get there. Together. 

Sexy portrait with Elise!

Updates from myself and Wonderland Studios

Hey gang, just some updates from all fronts here. My studio, Wonderland Studios, has been closed down since March 17th due to Covid.

We are currently still closed as the month of April ends here, and I will need to look at the county and state guidelines to see what may happen in May.

I would love to open up again but I know when we do, it will be with many changes made to keep everyone safe. As a public studio, we get a lot of foot traffic daily from many visitors, so we would need to change up our booking processes to allow time for sanitization of everything before and after each booking.

As for my personal life, been going through a ton as I am sure everyone is during this hard time.

I had to do one of the hardest things I have had to do in my life yesterday, and that was to say goodbye and put my dog Isabelle to sleep. She lived long, fought cancer very hard at the end, but it was time. I was with her through it all and I will never forget her.

I am not doing well, as one could imagine, so I will be needing a little time to myself but I promise to try to get as much updates as I can here for you guys.

Thank you so much again for your support <3

Lady Maria from Bloodborne with Manzi!

Look at all the insane details of her outfit, and she MADE THAT. NUTS.
