*{Giving Is Awesome}* Temecula CA Photographer | Fort Irwin CA Photographer

I feel so blessed to work in a field where so many of my peers have hearts of gold. There is a new wave of generosity that has hit the photography field, and it is called Giving is Awesome. I saw what an amazing gift so many photographers have given people around this great Country and I wanted to be a part of it. With that being said...

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 during these hard economic times. 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 -- $1,225 worth, to be exact.

The individual selected for this unique experience will receive:

*A complimentary session fee (value $125)

*A DVD of High-Resolution photos of your entire gallery (value $1000)

*One mounted 16x20 image of their choice (value $100)

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $100 print credit when they book their own 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 the Temecula Valley/Murrieta area or Fort Irwin area, or have the ability to have the photo shoot in one of these two areas. 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 : Please email me at info@michelleocampophotography.com

The winner will be announced on April 10th -- so get nominating! And please spread the word...feel free to post this on your MySpace Bulletins, Facebook, your own personal blogs...get the word out! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Until Next Time,

Michelle
