Merry Christmas to All!!

Giving Back...

I stumbled across this amazing website full of photographers who are all giving in the spirit of Christmas! To this date over 460 photographers are contributing and over $495,000 has been pledged.




The spirit of Christmas is spreading!


Here's the deal: Think of someone you know who deserves custom photography but can't afford it. Nominate them to win it. Sit back and bask in your own awesomeness.


I'm sure you know someone who's struggling to stay afloat, who's experienced a tragedy, who's raising kids while holding down more than one job, or someone who volunteers selflessly despite personal circumstances.


I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $200 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a complimentary photo session, PLUS one 8x10, two 5x7's, and a dvd slideshow of all images.


Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $50 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.
* The nominee must reside in the Zebulon-Raleigh area or the Columbia-Albemarle Sound area. 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 email me the full story: megan (@) memory-lane-photos (dot) com and the subject line should read "Giving Back"
*Entries must be received by Monday, January 12, 2009. The winner will be annouced Wednesday, January 14th, 2009.

Holiday Giving

With the holidays just around the corner, many families would appreciate a donation made in the name of their angel. It is our hope that those in a position to make even a small contribution to NILMDTS, will consider doing so allowing the organization to provide adequate resources, training, communication and tools necessary in support of our amazing contingent of professional photographers who provide the gift of free remembrance portraiture to families in need.
