“Giving is Awesome” Winner
Well, it’s here. CHRISTMAS! This time of year always seems to sneak up on me.
In effort to spend some awesome quality time with my little one this year, I will be closed until January 5th. I’m hoping to spend time doing some wonderful creative projects to celebrate the season. Do a little baking. All those things to really bring Christmas “home” in the next few days.
I’ve received some amazing submissions for the “Giving Is Awesome” program and now It is Christmas Eve and time to announce the winner of the Giving is Awesome Contest! Thank you for all of your Nonimations. Here is the winning letter -
The Kinnee Family,
I am nominating my friends The Kinnee’s (Johnny, Shelly, Brendan, Trevor, Ethan, Alexandra). They truly have had a hard year. At the beginning of the housing boom, they had bought a new home that was being built to fit there large family, while trying to sell the home they were living in. They moved into their new home and there old home foreclosed. Johnny lost his job twice this year, he works in construction and because of the economy he was laid off 2 times. Shelly is a stay at home mom to her 4 children, and she babysits 2 other kids. This Christmas season is hard for them because Johnny has been picking up odd jobs here and there, and hasn’t worked more then 3 days a week in a month. They never do anything for themselves, they always think about their children. Their twins (Ethan and Alexandra) just had their 4th birthday, and they couldn’t afford to give them a party to celebrate. Johnny’s bday is in 2 weeks, and they won’t be celebrating. Then, there is Christmas….. They already have explained that this year is really tight to the kids. They have NEVER had Custom photography and I think because they are concentrating so much on “Family” and “Love” this year that they really deserve it. I am not very good at explaining things and I hope whoever reads this gets what I’m talking about. The Kinnee’s are unselfish and deserve to have wonderful pictures done for them.
If they win, I know I receive $300 as well, but I would also like for you to give that to someone else who needs it.
Sincerely,
Lacey Livaudais

Coming in the new year
There are some VERY exciting new things coming to Artistical Inspiration Photography, BIG changes! Lots of new products, prices, and the thing I am most excited about.. this new tool to help my clients get ideas – INSPIRE GALLERY’S
So many of my clients have wanted to do gallery walls or displays and just didn’t know how to customize it for each client. I have over 15 ideas here, that will help you and I put together gorgeous displays. It will be available in a spiral bound book for your to flip through during your proofing session. Or as a PDF file for you to look at in the comfort of your own home!
As an added bonus, if you order a set of images from the Inspire Guide then you will get 10% off those images for each gallery purchased!
Here is a sample of what the guide is and some ideas it has to offer (I think I will be using some of these in my home).
I am so exicted about what this new year has to bring!! I cant wait to work with you all in 09′.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
Spreading holiday spirit!
Photographers from all over the world have been challenged by a fellow photographer, Kristen Kalp of Essential Imagery, to offer an amazing gift this Christmas season and I could not pass up this opportunity. Times are tough right now and this is one way that I can make a difference this season.
For many people, this is an exciting time of year-the hustle and bustle, the shopping and gift giving, holiday parties and spending time with loved ones. For some, it’s a struggle and a painful reminder of hard times.
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 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 $300 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.
* The nominee must reside in Arizona. 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 : artisticalinspiration@gmail.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,
Amber

Testimonials
“Don’t let this photographer’s youthfulness fool you – she’s a natural talent. Everyone who sees our portraits comments on their uniqueness and fun attitude. The way she captured the love between my husband and I took my breath away – we have it on a large canvas in our bedroom as a tribute to 25 years of marriage. We will call Amber again when it is time to take family portraits. ~ L. Locker”
“Amber was great to work with. It was priceless to have her come into our home for the photo shoot. Every time we have taken our son in to the studios we barely get three good pictures because he just wants to run around. With Amber coming out to us, we were able to get over 20 amazing shots and had a difficult time narrowing the print selection down. Amber has been blessed with an amazing gift, not only to capture smiles and personalities, but an art at putting it all together to give you a keepsake of the most precious memories that will surely last a lifetime!” ~ Mandy R
“You can truly see how much Amber enjoys photography. Amber glows while doing a session with my children or my daycare children. She not only shows how much she enjoys what she is doing but she makes sure that the kids are enjoying themselves as well. Amber truly captures the essence of the moment with every click of that camera. The first photos that she took of me and my daughter were absolutely breathtaking. I instantly started crying, because I knew that I could hold onto that moment forever. My daughter looking up at me with that admiration in her eyes, I will treasure that forever. Thank you Amber for every moment that you capture so gracefully. All our love and praise.” ~ Jennifer Gann
“I’m in absolute TEARS over here, lol . That is quite simply the most amazing website I have ever seen, WOW! My heart just reacted and I was sobbing. What you wrote under “about me” was extremely touching, well written and fantastically emotional. I just opened a river of feelings in me about being a mom and how I have felt about my children and the few wonderful photographs I’ve been blessed to take. The one about your favorite photo of Elijah and how it instantly transports you back to that moment and makes you able to smell “fresh baby skin” {{{{{{{{{sigh}}}}}}}}, I have felt that way about many pics I have too. You truly are talented and blessed Amber. That site is bound to touch a lot of people and bring the business pouring in as well as your talent will reward them once they do.” ~Carin
“Amber did a wonderful job working with my little one. She was patient, professional and was able to capture some of my daughter’s everyday expressions that I will be able to cherish forever. I could not have asked for better first birthday photos.”

“Amber is a very talented and artistic person, she put together a calendar for me and it came out beautifully. I know Amber is very dedicated to her work and thats why you get great quality with such a great turn around. I have never seen anyone do what she does so well and so fast. I will definitely be coming to Amber for future projects and pictures eventually. Thanks Amber for all your hard work and dedication.” ~Magdalena
“Amber did a phenomenal job working with my 2 young boys!! Their pictures turned out beautiful! Some of the photos brought tears to my eyes as they captured my boys perfectly. These are exactly what I was looking for…and I got them for a very reasonable price. I will look to Amber for my future photo needs.” ~Mandy
“I think Amber has great talent, and really knew how to capture the best in my children. I have had my family pictures taken with many photographer’s, as I really love photography as well. I would have to say that Amber is by far one of the better photographers that we have experienced. Thank you Amber!!!” ~Kristen B
“Amber takes time, effort and energy to make sure that the work you receive is professional, creative and beautiful! She created a beautiful calendar and collage of my son and my family. I will cherish those both for many years to come! She is so talented and I will be calling on her to create more memories for my family!” ~Bridget
