Giving back to the community, ESPECIALLY during this time of year, is very important to me.  I am SO pleased to be part of an incredible worldwide photographic effort called “Giving is Awesome.”    What is this “Giving is Awesome,” you ask???

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 absolutely 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 — over $500 worth!  Whether it’s canvas on their walls, 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.

And a SUPER cool perk???  The person who nominates the winner receives their very own session and $325 print credit.   Sweeeet!

SO, what do you need to do???  Nomination details are below:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.

* The nominee must reside in Miami and be within a 30 mile radius of my studio (33133).

* You must email the full story — who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they are deserving of such a gift — to steph@stephanieanders.com by Christmas Day, 2009.

* The deserving family will be announced on New Years Day, so get nominating!  I can’t WAIT to read all of your entries!  Better yet — I can’t WAIT to photograph this family!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season, and THANK YOU, in advance, for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

My best,

Stephanie
