Thanksgiving seems to be a good day to kick off my Giving is Awesome family portrait giveaway! Although I have always donated to people in need, I am thrilled to be part of this organization of photographers giving back to their communities.
Okay, so this is how it works: Do you know a family that is struggling? Truly struggling? (Having a hard time with a two million dollar mortgage doesn't count!) A single parent working three jobs just to get food on the table? A family that put their own challenges aside and has adopted kids in need? A family that has lost their daddy to war and have no where to turn? Someone despite their own hardships continues to give to others selflessly? Someone that could never afford custom photography but would cherish it more then anything this holiday season and as a year round reminder of their spirit beauty and love.?
I want to know who they are and I want to give them a chance to experience complimentary custom photography - $500 worth to be exact. Oh, and by the way, the person who nominates the winner will receive a $100 credit with my studio!
Okay, so here are a few guidelines:
You cannot nominate yourself and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.
The nominee must reside in the LA or Ventura County area. Tell me who they are, what they are experiencing and why they deserve my artwork.
Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
You must email the full story to karen@karenard.com by Dec 20, 2009.

Please open your heart to someone in need and thank you for allowing me to open mine. If you are not in the LA area but would still like to nominate a family, please visit Giving is Awesome and find a photographer in your area.
