I am joining with an enormous, generous group of photographers who are banding together to offer custom portraits, lifelong memories, to deserving families. The initiative, started by Kristen Kalb, is called Giving Is Awesome!
——————
Many people know my families current hardships. But I know that there are more families out there who are having a rough time also, many more so then us. I’m sure that 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 – Currently, $600 worth to be exact, and it could go up! 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. Now I know that many other photographers are able to offer a lot more, I unfortunately can only offer this amount for now… If things change in our family- then I will raise the winning amount up. I still want to help. I still want to give and help someone who is very deserving of beautiful memories of their children.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $100 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 the Denver Metro 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.
* You must e-mail me the full story : tonee@toneelawrence.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,
Tonee
