Giving Is Awesome

Photography Give Away

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 -- $1000 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 $250 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.)
* The nominee must reside in Hampton Roads. 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 : info@jessicariehl.com by midnight on Christmas Eve.  The winner will be announced on Christmas Day -- 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.

Currently photographers around the country have donated over $500,000 worth of sessions and products! To read more about the Giving Is Awesome campaign check this link: Giving Is Awesome

P.S. Deadline is Christmas Eve.

Turks and Caicos

Right after my husband came home from his six month school in Rhode Island we headed down to Turks and Caicos located in the British West Indies. Jim did not know where he was going until the day before we went, enough time so he can decide what to pack. Jim went diving for five days and I did absolutely nothing except catch up on a stack of books I've been wanting to read.

I did all the things I love to do...eat, sleep, read, swim, photograph, dig my toes in the sand and just be still.  I loved staring at that beautiful blue water, it was unbelievable.   

Here are just a few of my photos from the trip.

Cheers,
Jessica
