The newest tradition to Christmas this year is our makeshift photo booth.  We found a blank wall in the living room, set up one light, and snapped away the whole day.  Here are a few fun photos, I’ll post the full gallery soon!

Not all the cousins could make it this year, but at least the cool ones made it:

Charlie’s Mangels:

Practicing our levitation technique:

Best buds since middle school, Tiff and Lea dote on Belle:

No, YOU farted!

If you ever want to see your precious Belle again, I’ll have one million dollars!

It was Tiffany!!!

OG:

Wow, I really broke some major wind!

Self portrait:

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 a canvas, albums, prints for Grandma, or a wall portrait…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 complementary session as well as a $200 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

1. 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 does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
2. The nominee must reside in San Diego county. 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.

Comment on this blog entry to let me know you’ve entered, and e-mail me the full story: marissa@feliciphotography.com

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.
