This past weekend, I was looking for ideas of how I would like to give back to the community for next year. I heard (via the twitter grapevine) of “Giving is Awesome”. It’s a simple effort by photographers worldwide to give back to their own communities. Each photographer is encouraged to donate a session to a deserving person or couple.
I know you know someone that’s been affected by tragedy or someone who might have an amazing story to tell. I would love to be there to document the lives of an amazing couple that’s been through it all. It’s time to tell their story with photography and to give them the gift of art. Since I specialize in couples/wedding photography, I would like you to nominate a couple (straight or gay) that are very deserving of this donation.
This winner of this contest will receive a free lifestyle session in the Spring, with the DVD of ready to print images.
The nominator will also receive a little treat for being awesome!
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 Red Deer, 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 : andrea@andreawiseman.com
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — 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.
Cheers!

And because every post deserves a cute photo, here I am hanging out in a grove of trees… No big deal.
