Help replace our stolen photography equipment

Help us replace our stolen photography equipment- Please help Sarah and Raul replace their stolen photography equipment so they can get back to capturing the beauty of the landscape around them. On April 4th 2023 our lives were halted abruptly. It started with a phone call that my mom who has Alzheimer’s, was being taken to the emergency room. We rushed to the hospital to be with her and to help her feel more comfortable while there. When we arrived back home at 1am we immediately realized our home had been broken into while we were gone. We quickly discovered that all of our photography equipment was gone. The equipment we had worked so hard for to purchase over the last several years of our career. Several professional cameras, lenses, drones, laptops etc. In total roughly $35,000 of our most prized possessions gone in a matter of hours. We both work full time jobs and every minute that we are not at work we are traveling and photographing the beautiful landscape that surrounds us. This is our calling and our passion and without it we are at a total loss. The suspected burglar has been arrested though unfortunately none of our items have yet been recovered. Unfortunately we also did not have renters insurance at the time of the break in that would be able to cover any of the cost of our losses. We are asking for your help to be able to purchase enough equipment to get started again. Any and all proceeds will be used to purchase replacement photography equipment. Your generosity and kind words are truly appreciated and we are so grateful for all the love and support we have been receiving from our community.
