Merry Christmas Eve! It is time for me to announce the recipient of my “Giving is Awesome!” giveaway. But first I would like to send a sincere thank you to everyone that submitted a nomination to me. I truly wish I could do a free session for each family nominated…I had an incredibly tough time picking just one.

I have chosen Kaylie “B” & her family who were nominated by Sarah “M”. I had such a heavy heart while reading little Kaylie’s story & her battle with brain cancer. Kaylie was diagnosed with Diffuse Pontine Glioma of the brain stem in February at the age of 5. You can view a video on Kaylie’s story here.

My prayers have been with Kaylie & her family as soon as I heard about her story… I look forward to meeting you all for your session in 2011!

God bless & Merry Christmas!!

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. A mini-session and a high res digital negative cd with print release will be awarded to the deserving winner.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $100 print 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 the annual ski trip does not qualify as a sincere financial need)

* The nominee must reside in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my work. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : jesshamlin@msn.com by December 22nd

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,

Jessica

I have been looking forward to this session for quite some time! Ray and his family were the winners of my “Giving is Awesome” giveaway I did back in December. We’ve had to reschedule a few times due to difficult scheduling between Ray’s chemo/radiation and illnesses. Luckily we were able to schedule the session to this past weekend…which ended up being a perfect time for this family as they are in a very good place right now…and the pictures were able to show that! Ray is still undergoing chemo, but his last MRI in April came back CLEAN! God has answered many prayers!! I felt so fortunate to be able to meet them & capture their amazing spirit! You can read more about Ray’s story on his Caring Bridge page.

Ray & Michelle – It was SO wonderful meeting you & your family…I had such a fun time with you all. I hope you enjoy this little peek into your session!
