Hello blog peeps! I'm doing it again. Last year I had the pleasure and honor of meeting this wonderful family. They were so deserving and appreciative. What a joy it was for both of us! In 2008, the "Giving Is Awesome" campaign, started by a fellow photographer, gave over $565,000 worth of custom photography to families across the globe. We're looking to double that total and hit the $1,000,000 mark this year.
But, I need you to help! I'm asking you to nominate someone for this great cause. I mean, who doesn't value portraiture of their family almost above all else? So come on...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. 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 -- $500 worth, to be exact. Whether it's a canvas, 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 $125 credit for a FREE session. 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 Cincinnati. 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.
· You must e-mail me the full story : marla@bigshotsbymarla.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.
With love,
