Help Jamie get better camera gear to follow his dream

Hi, I’m Jamie. I’m in 9th grade, and photography means a lot to me. It’s how I capture moments, tell stories, and see the world differently. But right now, I feel stuck. My Nikon D3100 with an 18-55mm lens has been great for learning, but it limits what I can do—especially as I get into portrait photography.

I’ve noticed that people see my setup as cheap, and I worry that makes them less willing to book portrait sessions. I want to take better photos, improve my work, and maybe even turn this into something bigger one day. But camera gear is expensive, and as a student, I just can’t afford the upgrades I need. I’ve been saving up, but it’s not enough. That’s why I’m reaching out for help.

What Your Support Will Go Toward:

A camera that lets me shoot in better quality

A lens that fits all my needs

Accessories like a flash to improve my work

Photography isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s something I truly love and want to grow in. If you’re able to help, even a little, I’d be beyond grateful. And if you can’t donate, just sharing this would mean so much.

Thank you for reading—it really means a lot.

I've added some of my work below too.
