This year I have been blessed with a passion and a business that have grown faster than I ever imagined. I feel so very lucky to have found something that I Iove, and to be able to share that with others. I want to give back.
You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling and is grateful for the consolation from a loyal pup, is ill or is caring for a pet that is ill, has rescued/fostered/adopted a dog or cat that would otherwise be homeless, 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 pet’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 — $750 worth, 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 free session themselves ($125 value). 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 session must take place within a 40-mile radius of the zip code 19473. 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 : aprilziegler@gmail.com
You have until Christmas Eve to submit your story. We’ll start the new year off right by announcing the winner on New Years Day — 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,
April
ashley folkema - April – you are awesome! 🙂
Stephanie - April, your work never ceases to amaze me. You deserve all the success and much more with your photography. Awesome giving idea.
Emil - April this is great. I’m sooooooooooo bummed we are not within the 40 mile radius!! =( I have some great people in mind to nominate!
April - I can’t take credit for the idea… http://www.givingisawesome.com started last year. Emil – they don’t have to live this close as long as the session takes place w/in that area. I often meet people at places in between my place and theirs. It could work! 🙂
Emil - Got your email….I’m wicked excited!!!! =)
Cathie B. Randall - You have a loving spirit, April. Blessing this holiday season….
