I saw this on another photographer's blog who saw it on someone else's blog and I think it's a wonderful idea. I don't celebrate Christmas but I understand that it's a special time of year for those that do and that it can be tough financially for a lot of folks, especially given the world's economic situation right now. Here's the idea:
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 - $400 worth, to be exact (the eqivalent to The First Year package. Plus, the person who nominates the winner receives a FREE GOLD SESSION ($270) and a FREE 10x20 storyboard. So what are you waiting for......start nominating!
Here are the RULES!
~ You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.
~ The nominee must reside in or around the St. John's and C.B.S. areas. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve this special gift. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
~ You must e-mail me the full story: natasha_ayers@hotmail.com
The WINNER will be announced on Christmas Eve. I look forward to reading your stories and being able to put a smile on someone's face in these tough times.
And also, don't forget that I am offering a special on my packages for the months of December and January as well. 50% off all packages and 20 free greeting cards (they can be anything from holiday cards to birth announcements).
**UPDATE**
I've decided not to draw the winner on Christmas Eve. Instead I will extend the contest til the 6th of January, at which time, I will draw the winner.
