Thank you to the stud filmaker with that robotic arm for capturing such beautiful moments.... Chris, you are amazing... :)

because Giving is Awesome!

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 photography — $1250 worth to be exact. 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 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. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* They must reside in the Southern California area
* 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 to gina@ginaleephoto.com by December 15th.
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Last year we helped this program raised over $565,000 worth of custom photography to families across the globe. We’re looking to double that total and hit the $1,000,000 mark this year. Of course, we need you to help! The premise is simple: think of someone you know who deserves custom photography but can’t afford it. Nominate them to win it. Enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling you brought to the world.

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thank you for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Love, Gina
