Ok everybody, you know someone. You know someone who's experienced something awful, is struggling to make ends meet, they are raising kids while working more than one job or someone who gives and gives of themselves despite their own personal situation.
You know someone who can't afford some beautiful photos, but who would really love to have them. You know someone who deserves a visual reminder of their own family's spirit, joy and love of being together.
You know someone and I want to know who they are. I want to give them a photo experience to remember - $1000 worth to be exact. They will receive a 2+ hour session with me, a CD of images from their session and a sweet 10x10 custom album created by me.
Oh yes, the person who nominates the winner with receive a $250 print credit as well...you show some love and you'll get some love in return!
Here's the fine print...
**you cannot nominate yourself and the person you nominate must sincerely be unable to purchase my services.
**the nominee must reside in WA. Tell me who they are, what they're experiencing and why they deserve a session with me. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself.
**email me the info please so I can read and reread - click here to email
Nominations need to get to me by midnight on 12/31/09 - New Year's baby!!! The winner will be announced on Monday, January 4th, 2010. Get to nominating - I can't wait to read all of your entries!!
By the way, the awesome Emily G down in Portland totally inspired me to get join in on the Giving is Awesome bandwagon...she rocks.
I am so grateful for the gifts I've been given and I can't imagine a better way to start off 2010.

It's been quite some time since my kid has had some blog time - as many of you know that follow me on facebook/twitter, etc..., sleep has not been coming very easily for the monkey lately. Last night, however, she not only slept well but slept the whole night in her big grrl bed (huge feat). Can't think of a better time to bust out the macro lens right? Her lashes blow my mind...indulge me...

I am frequently taking pause to think on the things in this life that make me the most grateful...my family, my friends, my pups, having a warm home, a reliable car, a job that i once only dreamed of...
When I woke this morning, my baby girl had crawled in next to me. My computer was on the nightstand (I am also thankful for the 'photo booth' program on my mac).
This little warm being is the best thing ever - just looking at her makes my heart feel like it might just burst.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
