This week is the last week to submit your nominations for my Giving is Awesome giveaway. Help make this holiday season special for a very deserving family. Remember that the person who nominates the chosen family will also receive a free session and a $100 print credit! Send all nominations to kim@kimfordhamphotography.com no later than this Friday, December 18th.

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 photo session and $750 worth of portraits, to be exact. Give a deserving family this gift that will last a lifetime.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a free session and 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 Toledo, Ohio or surrounding areas. 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 by December 18th, 2009. Send to kim@kimfordhamphotography.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.
