Community Trade Program

At Karrels Design, I believe in building real connections with the community that supports my work. Each month, I'm offering one small business in Door or Kewaunee County a free photography session — traded for products, food, or services instead of cash. It's a way to give back, support fellow small businesses, and create something valuable for both of us.

What's Included

  • A 45-minute photography session

  • 10 final professionally edited photos, delivered for marketing use

Who This Is For

This program is designed specifically for local Northern Wisconsin businesses that want to highlight their business but can’t afford a creative agency

  • Small or no advertising budget

  • No dedicated marketing team

  • Majority owner-operated

  • Located in Door or Kewaunee County

How It Works

  1. Fill out the application below

  2. One business is selected each month

  3. We'll connect to talk through what you need photography-wise

  4. Trade terms are agreed to in writing

  5. We schedule your session and I deliver your photos within 2 weeks

The Trade

Instead of a fee, I'm looking for products, food, or services of comparable value. We'll talk it through together and land on something that feels fair for both of us.

For Artists

From an Artists

I also love trading with fellow artists. If you're interested in a trade for a piece for my personal art collection, I offer things like consulting or digital marketing support in exchange. Reach out and let's talk about what that could look like.

Submitting an application does not guarantee selection, participation, or any obligation on the part of Karrels Design to provide services.

Due to the volume of applications, only selected participants will be contacted directly. If you do not hear back, please assume you were not chosen for that month — this doesn't mean you won't be considered for a future month, and applications may be kept on file for future selection.

Selected participants will be required to agree to trade terms in writing before any services are provided. All trades are final once agreed upon. Karrels Design reserves the right to decline, modify, or discontinue this program at any time, for any reason, without notice.
