I have been looking for ways to give back to my community through my gift of photography and have decided to join fellow photographer Kristen Kalp. She put a call out to our photography community to join her in Giving Back this season. I have answered that call and now I need all of you to help me out!
Thanks Kristen for letting us use your words!
You know someone. 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. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over…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 a session and a $250 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
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 Southeastern or Mid Michigan. 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.
Comment on this blog entry to let me know you’ve entered, and e-mail me the full story: suzi@photoartbysuzi.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.
