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 -- $500 worth, to be exact. Whether it's canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, 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 $200 gift card towards a future session. 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 Nevada. 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 : francephotography@gmail.com
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 holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,
Kelli France

Hi Kelli,
I love your photography, and I am a huge fan of your blog. What a nice thing you are doing here! I would like to nominate my sister. She actually lives in Reno and here is her story... it's sad. She is a momma to two beautiful little ones. Katie and Colton. Katie's daddy just up and left one day so she came home to live with my mom(she was in Utah)and she got back on her feet a little. She met another man who is the daddy of Colton. Colton was born very prematurely at 29 weeks I believe. He almost didn't make it. He had a brain bleed and now has a permanent shunt in his brain. In the meantime my sister had to move out from my moms house and find her own place. They struggle daily with bills from medical bills, and medical needs, and just getting by. They barely have money for general necessities. So while they are trying to get on their feet our mom sadly, and suddenly passes away( this May). Just another blow to take our family down. I know in my heart, that winning this would mean the world to her. She is so beaten down with all the awful things that have happened that I would love for her to have this and know that people still do care and life can be great sometimes! Thank you for reading this. I appreciate your consideration.
