I am very, very blessed in life. I am so grateful for my family, my job and all the joy my family and the families I work with bring into my life. And I want to share this love. The gift of sharing a gift. Because giving… is awesome.
I am all about giving back. And what a better time than now?
A fellow photographer, Kristen Kalp started this great *awesome* idea and I didn’t think twice when I came upon her giving is awesome website.
and it goes like that:
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.
NOMINATE THEM.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience custom photography — over $2,000 worth, to be exact.
This {gift of memories} will include:
* a complimentary session,
* a DVD Slide Show with all the images in their gallery, beautifully set to music,
* all the images in their gallery in a 5×7 format
* one mounted Storyboard (20×20 or smaller)
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 $250 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 the Greater Vancouver area. 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@bellemeinerz.com.
The winner will be announced on Christmas 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,
Belle
Belle Meinerz Photography has been a one-woman show for pretty much 4 years now, but a girl can’t do it all… I’d rather concentrate on the creative side of the business (since I’m more right-brained than technically-minded I guess)… and I decided it was time to call for help. This is an exciting time for Belle Meinerz Photography, my business is growing by leaps and bounds, and having my beautiful, talented friend aboard is simply put… priceless.
