{ Giving is AWESOME! }

 

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 — Over $700 worth, to be exact. A ton of prints for them and to share and a gorgeous heirloom canvas gallery wrap, for them to cherish forever.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200 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 [MICHIGAN or OHIO]. 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 : chixieandhoney@hotmail.com

 Deadline for nominations is December 20, 2009

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,

Tara

{cans for comments…}

UPDATE!

Thank you to all who have posted comments, we are donating 30 cans of food to the local food shelter. I also had one offer to match them, so thank you so much Cari!!!! I encourage all who read here….if you can find it in your hearts and your pockets, please give what you can to the needy this holiday season. Our family has a few more things up our sleeves for families who aren’t able to have a Chistmas this year due to hardships and I am enjoying teaching Ava the idea of helping others who are less fortunate than we are.

cans..

Sharing some love….

I am jumping on the bandwagon of a large group of photographers found here that are giving back! For every comment left on ANY post from now until midnight on Friday, I will donate one canned good to the local food bank. I am excited to show this to Ava and use this as a lesson in giving to those who are needy…it is a great time of year to give back and spread your love.

I will also secretly revel in all of your comments. LOL!
