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 Christmas 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 — $825 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this Christmas season. The winner will receive a complimentary session and the “be bold” digital collection that includes 30 portraits in both 5×7 prints and full-resolution digital files, an 11×14 gallery wrapped canvas print and 3 mini-accordion albums.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $125 gift certificate good toward session fee. 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 within 30 miles of Wyomissing, PA. Tell me who you know, 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 e-mail me the full story with the headline “awesome giveaway” to: info@beirabrown.

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 Christmas season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Beira
