This is our third year of offering Thanks & Giving! It started in 2009 with a challenge from a fellow photographer - to give the joy of photography to a family in need.
This holiday season we are giving you the opportunity to give once again. If you are a client or friend, please join us by nominating someone in need. 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, has someone in their family that is terminally ill or someone who 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.
After receiving many deserving nominations last year, each with a poignant story, we selected a family who was experiencing a difficult hardship. We met 15 year old Maddy who was diagnosed with progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no cure. Maddy and her family have not allowed Maddy's disorder to define their family, however, it has been a challenge for them. They are commited to making memories for Maddy that will be cherished. The gift of photography allowed them to have us capture beautiful moments with all of the siblings together. We were honored to give them this gift.
We know you know someone to nominate. We want to know who they are, and want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography. $2000 worth to be exact. Whether it's a beautiful canvas, or an art book or multiple wall portraits, it's in your power to give them the artwork and heirlooms they deserve this holiday season. The person who nominates the winner will receive $500 in portrait credit! What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?
The Rules:
You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing our services. The nominee must be able to come to St. Paul for a studio or location session. Tell us who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve a gift of photography. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself. Please put "Thanksgiving Giveaway" in the subject line and email the full story to: melissa@miroslavichphotography.com . The deadline to nominate is Wednesday November 23, 2011.
The winner will be announced on Thanksgiving Day ... get nominating!! We can't wait to give another family an amazing, beautiful experience!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season - and thanks for giving us the opportunity to open ours!
