It’s that time of the year, and of course Christmas is approaching fast and furious.. I believe in giving all year round not just the holiday but when I saw the grassroots giveaway Kristen started I wanted in…

How it works:

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 — $1500.00 plus. A full session this Spring, all images in high resolution, a leather bound Finao beautiful proof album and a $100.00 print credit!

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250.00 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 South-Eastern Michigan or Northern 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 : melissa@agirlinlove.com

The winner will be announced the first week of January — 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,
Melissa
