GIVING IS AWESOME


The holidays are a time for love, family and bringing joy to people's lives. I am so so so lucky to be able to bring joy into all of my clients lives through my lens, and in return I get the joy of watching a couple start their lives together and then start a family together... I am one of the first people to meet your newborn, and then I get to watch them turn into a toddler...
I am so excited to be apart of THIS organization this year... please please please if you are a photographer and want to give back, this is a great way to do it!!!

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 -- $450 worth, to be exact. - They will get the CD of their session as well as a $150.00 print credit. Whether it's canvas or albums, or prints for Grandma, it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives HALF OFF their next session!!! What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?
The rules:
  • The Deadline for entries is 12.19.09
  • 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 the DFW Area.
  • 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.
  • Leave a comment on the blog to let me know you have entered and email me at yourcandidmemories@gmail.com
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve... Get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

I can't take credit for this... Click here to read about this epidemic. If you're a photographer maybe you could be a part of this? Maybe this is your way to give back this holiday season. Just an idea...
Thanks everyone! I'm am super excited to see how this affects one deserving family's lives.
