Photographers are great people. And I'm not saying this because I'm a photographer. I'm saying this because a group of photographers has banded together to make the holiday seasons of many deserving families just a little bit brighter!
Giving is Awesome is a group of photographers nationwide that are giving the gift of memories to deserving families. I'm so proud to be a part of this holiday mission!
Where do you come in? You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $1000 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a portrait session, a 10 page 8x8 inch album and their high resolution digital images. It's in your power to give them the gift of lasting memories!
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a complimentary portrait session of their own and a $100 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* The nominee must reside in Florida. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well. {If you wish to nominate someone who's not in Florida, check out Giving is Awesome for participating photographers around the country!}
* You must e-mail me the full story : lb@loribarbelyphotography.com
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve -- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
