Winter Giveaway Announcement

The Winter Giveaway category is........... a Deserving Doggy.

What am I looking for in nominations?
I am looking for a special dog. What makes that dog special can be many things. I am specifically looking for a very special story. Has this dog been mistreated and is now in a good home? Does this dog have a very special connection with it's owner? Does this dog not have much more time on the earth and you want to have special portraits made to celebrate it's life? It could be many different things that make a dog special.

Please do not simply write that your dog is special. I want to know WHY your dog is special.
Every dog is special but I am looking specifically for an extremely special dog or a dog who has an extremely special connection to it's owner. Or has a very interesting story that makes him/her special.

What does the winner get?
The winner will have portraits of the special dog by itself and with it's owner captured in a free session with photographer, Jane Bingham. 10 fully edited digital files will be provided to the winner with print release.
Professional prints and products may be purchased at a discounted rate through Jane Bingham if the winner so desires but it is not neccessary nor required.

What's the catch?
There is no catch. The photo shoot will be free and so will 10 digital files for you to print where ever you want.
I love what I do! I love being a photographer. This is my chance to give and be a blessing to others.

Are there restrictions or special considerations?
Yes, normally you can not nominate yourself but for this season's giveaway you CAN nominate yourself and your own dog or you can someone else and their dog.
