MEDIA’s Photography and Coaching Client, True Spirit Photography, is Offering Mini Photo Sessions to Help with The California Wildfires

Have you heard about the devastating natural disaster that struck California?

California is under a state of emergency after a series of ongoing wildfires scorched the region. The peak of the wildfire season usually occurs between July and November when hot, dry winds are most frequent. The wildfire season typically does not end until the first significant rainstorm occurs, which is usually around October for Northern California, and roughly the end of November to December for Southern California. As of September 4, 2020, a total of 7,451 fires have burned 1,891,651 acres, making this the second largest wildfire season of California history.

Our hearts go out to all residents and loved ones effected by the wildfires. When our photography and coaching client, who holds a permanent residence in California, reached out to us, we wanted to spread her message to help all of those effected.

Elena Garbuzenko is a family portrait photographer, owner of True Spirit Photography, who strives to create stunning, creative images for families and their children so that they can remember that moment in their child’s life forever.

Her photography leaves our team breathless. Her constant creativity and attention to detail in every photo is astonishing. Her talents shine when she works with children, babies, and families.

Moving here from Russia, Elena first lived in Pittsburgh, PA. After getting married and craving a new adventure, her family moved to California. Her beautiful children inspire her daily, and she knew she wanted to take her photography talents to the next level.

After graduating from MEDIA’s coaching program, she learned the strategies of marketing, the fundamentals of running a business, and the Minimalist Mindset to keep up with her young children as a working business owner. Her success showed as she followed our Flow of Marketing and posted on her social media business accounts. Her inboxes were full and so many families wanted her to capture precious memories for them.

In just two days within implementing a new strategy during her social media coaching program with us, she received 73 PMs on Facebook, of people ready to work with her, inquiring about her services.

So, she is a pretty big deal 😊.

Elena’s growth during the pandemic shows that even in tough times you can persevere.

After the wildfires hit close to home, Elena wanted to use her talents to help as many people effected as possible.

Her next step? Hear her mission from her own words:

Many things during this year were truly unpredictable and not expected by anyone. Everyone I know had to change many plans and accommodate the life to the conditions we (are) under accordingly. 
In the mid of August I started my new photo project in Santa Cruz to establish new connections in the place I live right after 8 months of not going anywhere to meet new people and showing up every day online only. 
And then the fires.  Not seeing anyone from the family and not even knowing when we can go(…) still brought uncertainty about when we are seeing our family in Pittsburgh again. 
But within the last couple of weeks together with my husband we talked and decided to change the plans a bit. 
As we packed our bags during the outbreak of the fires two weeks ago for the just-in-case scenario, we decided we are having a road trip to Pittsburgh, PA. It’s going to be a long drive and we are heading there earlier than we thought.
We will be out of town from mid September almost to the end of October, staying with our family in Pittsburgh for about 4 weeks. For all the photo shoots I will be doing from September 5th to October 20th, I will be donating to Save the Redwood’s League fund.
Elena’s Family at Big Basin Redwood Forrest

Elena wants to make a difference and help save place she calls home. The Big Basin Redwoods holds a special place in Elena’s heart (pictured above). Seeing the destruction caused by the wildfires pushed her to create a series of photo sessions held in the North Pittsburgh Area. A percentage of the proceeds will go directly to the Save the Redwood’s League Fund and other organizations working hard to preserve the natural landscape.
