I love taking pictures. I love capturing the connections between people. The whole thing makes me really happy. The biggest thing that bums me out is that I can’t capture my own family because I’m behind the camera.
I also sometimes wish I didn’t have to charge for this, because I know a lot of people would really love to have pictures but can’t afford it. Myself included at the present moment.
But, alas, I do have to charge, for numerous reasons that I don’t need to go into right now.
Now that I’m coming out of “busy season” and finding time to think, I’m really wanting to give back, to give a session to someone that can’t afford it right now. Almost like I’m giving it to myself, only not to myself.
Do you know someone that would like a family session for free?
I’ll include the creation and the digital files (valued over $1500).
How to win it:
Write me a note. Tell me about why you’d like a session, or why you’d like to nominate someone else for a session. I’ll choose one family and announce it on December 18th (my Dad’s birthday!). That way, if someone wants to surprise someone else with a gift certificate, there’s time to get it by Christmas.
The deadline for nomination is December 15th, so that gives you almost two weeks to figure out what to say, how to say it, and send it to me at shannon@shannonmontez.com. I’m excited to be able to do this and can’t wait to hear about your reasons for wanting a session.
*eta: this offer is also open to Utah residents, since I’m there at least once a year, I could manage a session there*
