I would like to do a giveaway to one deserving family.
Here is how you can enter to win!
I want to celebrate the unique beauty that exists within a child with autism. Too often their potential is overshadowed by their disability, but I want to turn that around and shine a light on their true uniqueness with my camera. To do this I am donating a free mini photo session to a family who has been touched by autism. This free session will go to the winner of a special drawing on April 30th, 2011. Here are the details:
Shine a Light on Autism: Tell me either about your own family or a family that you know that has a child with autism. Tell me about their unique journey and the hurdles that they have confronted along the way. In order to raise as much awareness as possible, we ask that you be willing to share your story on my blog. I will post as many of your stories as I can during my weekly blog posts. Then, on April 30th at 12pm, one story will be randomly chosen as the winner and announced on both my blog and facebook page. The winner will receive a free 1 hour photo session with me, at a remote 60acre ranch, (free of loud noises and people, and lots of room to run around) including 25-35 images posted to your own private gallery on my website and a CD with a printing release. To enter the drawing please leave a comment with your story. All entries must be submitted by April 25th, 2010.
Also, you must re-post the link to this blogpost to help spread the awareness of Autism.
Photo Session must be redeemed by August 31, 2011
