Giving is Awesome Extended!

The Holiday Giveaway has been extended until March 1st!  Please send in your entries!

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 print credit. 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 Utah. 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.  If you would like to nominate someone who does not live in Utah please visit www.givingisawesome.com and find a photographer in the state your loved ones live in.

* You must e-mail me the full story : tonyapetersonphoto (at) gmail (dot) com.

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve March 1st– 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,

Tonya Peterson

Bad Day.

I sat on my couch this afternoon a broken woman.  It seemed like no matter what I did crap just kept pilling on.  Nothing could break me out of this sad and depressing slump I had fallen in . . . until Alex came home for lunch with a big basket of beautiful flowers in his arms.  How could I not smile?  Alex asked to to be his wife 4 years ago today.  Thanks my love!  You really made my day!

 

Now on to business news, I was lying in bed last night thinking how stupid it was that my Christmas sale only lasted until the 15th.  I have decided that these sale prices will be good until the first o December, which is the same day that all orders for Christmas will need to be ordered by.  Don’t forget that Christmas Cards must be ordered by the 22nd!  If you are ordering your photos online the promo code is: XMAS08

 

To the next order of business. . . I have been a very bad blogger.  I had so much fun in October blogging every day, but I just couldn’t keep it up.  I don’t know how [b]ecker did it for so long!!!  I do have a few thing I need to blog

-UHS Cheerleaders

-Lili’s Maternity Session

-Katie and Robbie’s Engagement Session-Take 2!

I think that I will be up to date after that.  Keep checking back.  

 

Mucho Loves!
