I Have Chosen a Recipient....

For this years' Giving is Awesome campaign. The nominator has been contacted and they wished to tell the recipient the news first. At this point I will wait until I recieve permission from the nominee to publish the name or email of the nomination I chose.

I want to thank each and every one of the wonderful people who have put someone in their thoughts and prayers to reach out by telling me their story. Each of the nominations were deserving and it was a hard decision, Bless all of you this Holiday Season.

A New Favorite!

I was going through some of Gavan's photos that I didn't get around to editing. I came across this one and knew that I would be absolutely in love with it! So I'm posting this on my blog for everyone to see. Don't you just love it?!?!!!

Kristen Kalp of Essential Imagery was the heart founder and organizer of this project. I'm so glad to be a part of this, Thanks Kristen! Wording by Kristen Kalp

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 – a complimentary session, a session album, and a $200 print credit to be exact....it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a complimentary session and $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-home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

The nominee must reside in or travel Southeast Michigan, 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.

Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: angelahibbert@sbcglobal.net Nominations must be in by Tues, Dec. 23rd, 2008

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.
