Letters from Flora: Winter Break Soon!
Hello Lovers!
Happy belated Halloween! Mine went really well and I'm so grateful to everyone who gave me candy to pass out!!! I am still a little tired from the day, I passed out apprx 1850 items, 1200 candies, 500 toys and 150 small potatoes*!!!! There is something really magical about making magic for other people and I have aspirations to make Halloween even better next year. For now I'm excited for some of my projects to be winding down a bit, for the weather to be cooling and I'm anticipating the upcoming rains with excitement. As much as I love sunshine I've already starting planting my California natives and winter crops and ideally nature can water for me ;)

Availability & Tours
Big news: I'm going on break! Starting December 9th, I'll be taking some time off. My availability is currently OPEN before then, so if you want to schedule something, now is the moment! I'm planning to be back by January 1st, but I'll make an official announcement closer to that time and there are various boring variables that impact the exact start date. My content sites and socials will be active!
I'll also be in Palo Alto November 19-20 with my friend Josie Qu! We're going to do a fabulous photoshoot together and people are welcome to join us for dinner or some other kind of fun while we're in town. It's going to be such a fun little adventure and I'd love to see familiar faces there! If you can't join us in person want to buy us dinner remotely or help sponsor our photoshoot? Sneak peeks of what we create for those who do! If we don’t know each other well and you want to do this just reach out via email so I know who to send pics to :)

Upcoming changes
Just a reminder that my rates are going to change starting in January 2027. If you have booked a session with me in the last year I will honor my current rates! Returning clients are one of the most important and treasured parts of my business — I adore the connections we make over time and I want to say thank you for being loyal to me and making my life so fun and wonderful!!
In addition to the rate changes, beginning in the new year I'll be implementing a 90-minute minimum for new clients. This helps me create the kind of immersive experiences everyone deserves and gives us proper time to connect. 1 hr will still be available to returning clients of course! I understand schedules are busy :)
I've been teasing this but I have a big announcement...and I have the official date: May 21st 2027 :) I'm going to be hard at work in secret working on my secret little things, hopefully I get them all done by then!!!! Wish me luck!!

Wishlist Love & New Gear
Thank you to everyone who has been buying me sweet things from my wishlist! Your generosity means so much to me. I always have a mix of silly and useful things and I'm pleased that I've been given a thrilling mix of the two!! Someone recently purchased a 2 foot long silicone fish impact toy for me and I'm still laughing, stay tuned as I'll definitely be using it in pictures.
Speaking of photography, I'm going to purchase a new lens today! If we've ever talked about photography you know I've been waffling on a fisheye lens for a while. Someone finally came out with a reasonably priced autofocus fish eye lens so I'm going to jump on it. A sweetie gave me a 28mm lens a few years ago and it's been so much fun, especially for stockings and shoe photography. I'm interested in doing more of that, plus more "fashion" type shoots and I think the 10 mm will be really fun to play around with. If you want to send me some dollars I'll send you some of the first experimental photos I take, I think it's going to make very fun booty shots :) I wish I had a less expensive hobby some time, though one of the latest lens from Nikon is $14,000 so I’m telling myself a new $400 lens is basically a 10K savings (even though the lenses aren’t comparable in any way)

Bye For Now!!
Alright time for me to go work on some projects! As always you can find me on all my content sites + social sites. I update my content sites daily and post sporadically on socials!
Thank you as always for reading <3 Enjoy the rest of Fall and if you have any costume or candy haul pics, reply to this email and send me what you have!
