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 – $300 worth, to be exact. Personalized photo session and custom prints of their choice and...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 $50 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.

Even if I have never met you and you just happened to be blog-surfing today, 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.Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: fraughtons@cox.net.
