I’m always looking for ways to use my photography skills to help other people. Especially people who are in great need. I wanted to give away a Funbooth session but wanted to make sure it went to someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to do it (for whatever reason–financial or otherwise). And then I thought it would be cool to team up with some other photographers who feel the same way I do about using photography to bless others and have them give away a session as well.
I’m super excited to announce this HUGE GIVEAWAY.
I’ve teamed up with seven ridiculously talented photographers in Utah and we’re each giving away a photo session to different families in need.
{This graphic was designed by the talented Jess Kasteler. You can find her website here and on Instagram here. THANK YOU Jess!!!}
Here’s how it works. You’ll see all 7 photographers listed below with the TYPE of family they’re giving a session away to.
The way to win a session–nominate someone you know who fits the category for the photographer giving away that session. Or, nominate yourself (if you fit that category). That’s it! No rules. No following or “liking” (unless of course you want to). No requirements.
When you find the photographer giving away the type of session you want to nominate someone (or yourself) for, send an e-mail to [email protected] In the subject title put the NAME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER who is doing the type of session you are nominating for (please don’t forget to do this so it’s easier to sort the e-mails). Then in the e-mail, give a brief description of who you want to nominate and why.
The Giveaway starts TODAY (November 26th) and will end on Sunday, December 7th at 11:59 pm (MST).
At the end of the Giveaway, each photographer will choose which family to give the session to and will contact the person who nominated them. If you nominated yourself, they’ll e-mail you directly to set up the session. If you nominated someone else, they will let you know and you can give the session to the person if you want, or the photographer can e-mail that person and let them know they won the session. You can remain anonymous for nominating if you would like, OR you can be the one to give them the session if your family is chosen.
**Please note, I am giving away a Funbooth session and the rest of the photographers are giving away a mini-session. All sessions must be redeemed between January and July of 2015. Specific details (when, where, etc.) will be coordinated with each individual photographer. **
