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 — $1500 worth, to be exact. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, 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 $250 print credit. 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 Texas. 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 : michelle@michellelugophotography.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,
Michelle Lugo

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my babies. They keep me busy all the time.
Here’s a few of Genesis. She’s such a great model sometimes. I asked her for a serious look and told her to not smile.
Of course, before we got that serious look, she had to get all the laughs out of her system first.
Her favorite thing to do right now is read. She doesn’t really know how to read yet, but she’s great at memorizing things. So she can “read” most of her books by herself.
Abram is wild, so needless to say I don’t get much shots of him. He avoids the camera like no other. However, this weekend we had a huge church event and I did manage to snag a few that I liked.
Doesn’t he look so sweet? Well he’s not. Ha!
And Juliette. Sweet baby Juliette. The best model ever. I could post a million pictures of her because she usually lets me do what I want with her. But I won’t do that. I’ll just post a few recent favorites.
So I had the thought of putting her in a snowman costume and do some Christmas themed portraits of her. As soon as I put the suit on her, she absolutely freaked out. You’d think I was torturing her by the screams that were coming out of her. Still very cute and being the horrible mother I am, I took some pictures anyway, despite her screaming. LOL.
After realizing that she wasn’t going to get away, she stopped crying and gave me this look. It’s priceless!
And today. This is more like my baby. She’s such a great little sport. Even though all she wanted to do was nurse and go take a nap, she still gave me this beautiful smile.
I love my kids. They’re the reason that I do what I do.
