Newborn Session Giveaway: Paying it Forward {Statesboro, GA Newborn Photographer}

So, I've been thinking and praying really hard about this newborn giveaway. I was so excited to win the little lace crown seen below, and I made a promise that should I win the giveaway, I would pay my good fortune forward with a free newborn session. I considered making it a random selection type thing, as most giveaways are on Facebook. While those are great for marketing purposes, it's really been weighing on me to make this a little bit different. Maybe its my sentimental need to extend the holiday season just a little bit longer, but mostly, its about me knowing how it feels to sometimes, just needing something *anything* to go right in your life. Some days, you just need the good Lord to tap you on the shoulder and give you a small nod of encouragement, especially now when economic times are so hard.

I feel like I'm rambling. So let me get to the point.

Instead of people entering for themselves, I want my fans to enter for someone else. I know there are those of you out there who know of an expectant mother or a family of a newborn who just might need something good to happen right now. Maybe they are expecting a child with special needs, maybe they've hit a bump in the road health-wise, or in a slump financially. In any case, its really been weighing on my heart to do a newborn session for a family in need. I know its not a million dollars, its not food on the table or a paid doctor bill. A portrait session is a luxury. But I hope, that by giving them a day of celebration for the new gift in their lives, their spirits might be lifted, even if its just a little bit. So I'm recruiting all of you (semi-local) fans to think about those around you. Is there a family you could think to enter for?

If so, write to me: sixpencephotos@gmail.com It doesn't have to be very long, just a snippet of why you think this newborn and family should win the session.

The criteria isn't very strict, but a few things are needed to be met:
1) This must be a family "in need" not "in want"…. I know you all know the difference ;) But its sort of the defining characteristic of this giveaway.

2) They need to be within 100 miles of where I live (Statesboro, GA, for those of you who don't know). Any direction, north, south, east, west--just not in California. :)

3) The baby must be a newborn. I would offer free sessions for EVERY age if I could, but this is a newborn session, so preferably, pick an expectant mother, or a baby less than 2 weeks of age.

That's it!! The giveaway will last one month, and once I pick a winner, and the winning family is of course notified I will post it to Facebook. I know I have some generous fans out there! So help me out guys! Fans, if you know someone who knows someone, pass this along!

Let's help out a family and treat a sweet baby like the prince or princess they are :)
