One Holiday at a Time!
Before we get focused on
the next-next big holiday, Christmas, we want to take time to celebrate
an equally significant holiday. Happy Thanksgiving! This year, we want
to stop and take in the spirit of giving thanks and give back again. We
are mindful that this year, we are thankful for so much including our
new studio and so grateful for the opportunity to continue to have a
business that creates such joy in the lives we touch.
It started in 2009 with a
challenge from a fellow photographer - to give the joy of photography
to a family in need. Over the past three years, we have been humbled by
the recipients of this gift. We created lasting memories of a family who
lost their husband/father a few short months after we photographed
them. We photographed another family whose youngest child has a chronic
illness and we were witness to such powerful love and support, it blew
us away. Another family was given the gift of senior portraits for
their twin daughters who would not have been able to have them without
this gift. We are always amazed by the families' resiliency but we are
also so grateful for the thoughtfulness of the people who nominate them.
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.
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. $1500 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.
- The person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing our services.
- The nominee must be able to come to Woodbury 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 21, 2012.
The
winner will be notified on Thanksgiving Day ... get nominating!! We are
blessed 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! Keep an eye out on November 26th because
next up we
will be decking our halls, playing holiday music (I've been waiting
since July) and giving you great gift ideas for Christmas.
