***December 31, 2009*** I didn't get any valid entries for my contest so I don't have a winner to announce. But that's okay! I'm gonna think this one through again and maybe revise my "Giving is Awesome" campaign.   Christmas time isn't the only time of year we should think about giving. Keep watching my blog for updates!

***HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!***

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 wedding photography -- $2000 worth, to be exact. You see, the winner will receive:

*6 hours of wedding coverage,

*2 photographers (myself + 1 assistant photographer),

*[1] portrait session (for engagements or bridals),

*Online galleries,

*Enhanced, print-ready images on disc,

*$150 product credit

 

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 $300 portrait session for 2010. 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 Houston, Texas. (Houstonians you know Houston - this means that Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, The Woodlands are all included). 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.

*Prizes are not redeemable for cash and they're non-transferable.

*I can't already be booked for your date.

* You must e-mail me the full story: givelove@loveleephotography.com

Nominations must be received by Christmas Day. The winner will be announced on December 31, 2009 -- 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,

Margaret Lee
