As you know, I've been sharing photos from my December shoot with Ivan Guzman Photography across multiple posts over the last few weeks. Tonight we reach the end of the series with installment number four and I think these shots will have been worth the wait!

In the two weeks that I've been sharing with you since launching this Patreon, I've come to enjoy the process of composing each post and connecting with my audience in a more intimate way. As I mentioned previously, I'd been active on Flickr for about a year before deciding to pursue a premium channel, but it wasn't until I started providing more of the story behind the photos with you here that I felt I was truly sharing.

I've made it a personal goal to stay as active as possible in terms of post frequency and interacting with each of you so that hopefully everyone will continue to see the value in subscribing. I'm also trying to think of new ways to introduce myself to a wider variety of people so that I may continue to grow and expand my audience. With the nature of my content, promotion can be a little bit of a delicate process and I've already learned the hard way after having my carefully censored Instagram account deactivated multiple times.

As I wrap up this post and share this last group of photos from my shoot with Ivan, I'm already thinking ahead to what's next. I currently have two more photo shoots from December to share that are absolutely amazing and several self-portrait series in the queue, including multiple ones I shot yesterday. The next few months are sure to be full of new content and a lot of fun; I'm looking forward to enjoying them with you!
