the spirit of Christmas

The spirit of Christmas.

this is one of MY all time favorite sayings about Christmas

“It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.” by W.T. Ellis

With things here in Central Alberta slowing down, and people starting to suffer more and more,  I feel the need to help.  It is nothing super fancy, but it is definitely something that someone will cherish for a lifetime.

A good friend of mine, showed me a wonderful website. A website full of over 350 photographers, all giving in the spirit of Christmas. To this date over $350,000 (US FUNDS) has been pledged. I am proud to be a part of this spirit of giving. www.givingisawesome.com The spirit of Christmas is spreading. Just look at all of the love!giving

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 – $2000 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a complimentary photo session, the high resolution digital negatives for every image in their gallery, PLUS a complete set of 4×6 prints to match those files.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250 print 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 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 Central Alberta. 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 : info@deannahallphotography.com

The winner will be announced on my birthday (January 3rd) –  so 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,

Deanna
