Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas! I've emailed the winner of the "Giving is Awesome" Christmas giveaway, due to the sensitive nature of the entry story, I've chosen to keep it private, but I want to thank Denise Martinez for submitting the story of this deserving family!

Nominate a family in need...

Today is your last chance, if you know someone who could use some cheering up this holiday season, I'll be taking nominations through the end of the day today, and the winning family will be notified tomorrow (Christmas Eve). So see the full details, read the full blog post here.

Giving is Awesome!

Help me give away 1K worth of photography and products to a deserving family this holiday season! I'm joining photographers across the country who are trying to spread a little joy (check it out here http://www.givingisawesome.com).

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. One deserving family will receive a full portrait session, a full set of 4x6 images from the session, a DVD slideshow they can watch again and again, and a $250 print credit- altogether a $1000 value. 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 free session and a $80 print credit (total value $200). 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 California. 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.

* You must e-mail me the full story : info@beccahamilton.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.

With love,

Becca

A little baby love...

Madison just turned 6 months old, and she is soooo cute. I seriously think this kid belongs in magazines! I mean look at that smile, and amazing eyes!

It's been a while...

Okay, so I know I've been a bad blogger. Nearly a month with no blog post is just plain lazy! So to make up for it, I'm going to share some pics of 5 really good lookin' kids ages from 5 to 16 that I took recently at a family session I shot for a friend of mine. Seriously, these kids are easy on the eyes, take a look...
