Open Your Heart Give Away | Jackson, MI — Amarie Vela | Wilmington, North Carolina Lifestyle + Wedding Photography

I am so very excited to announce this special photo session giveaway! I feel incredibly blessed with how fortunate my family has been through the years, but I also know how hard it can be to go through life’s obstacles. I believe in Karma to the fullest and giving back to your community, so I love the opportunity to gift someone deserving with something special, a professional photo session that documents their family for a lifetime. I started this giveaway last year and it was something I loved so much that I decided to make an annual Christmas tradition. After all, it is the season of giving, love, and family.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS

This is what I call a self-less giveaway, so you cannot nominate yourself.

You can nominate a family/friend/co-worker/neighbor… do you know a family going through hard times? Maybe a single mother who works really hard to support her kids with no help? A single dad, winging it on his own? That family that lost it all due to a terrible disaster? Someone with an illness, or just someone that YOU think is deserving of a photo session?

I don’t want to embarrass anyone or make anyone feel like they can’t afford a session, so these will all remain between me and the family/individual chosen, but I want the nominations to be someone who deserves beautiful images of themselves or their families. So when nominating someone, please make sure that this is something they would be blessed to have as I care deeply about these gifts.

FINE PRINT

. Each person is only allowed to nominate one family. Multiple nominations of the same family don’t help their chances, but it is the thought behind them that counts. When nominating, I want to hear it all. I will not accept a five sentence submission. I want you to dig deep, pray, or whatever you need to do to write a compelling submission. <3
