It is official Susan L. is Awesome. </p>
<p>Recently Michael McNett Photography in conjunction with Giving Is Awesome and 483 other photographers world wide, held a huge give away, to give the gift of a family portrait to a family who wouldn&#8217;t normally be able to afford one or were living under circumstances where a family portrait would normally not be possible. The response was astounding but Susan L. stood out above the rest. </p>
<p>Personally I have my hands full with my 2 kids so Susan a single mother of 9 kids has my complete admiration. Then when you consider that she is raising them living with Leukemia you can see why a family portrait would be so meaningful.</p>
<p>Congratulations Susan and sister Meganne who nominated you. I will contact you to schedule your portrait session.</p>
<p>-Mike</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>A little something special for someone special&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In partnership with <strong>Giving is Awesome</strong> and <strong>437 photographers</strong> (as of today) Im trying to do a little extra this year. So far we are up to almost $500,000 in donations.</p>
<p><strong>Here is how you can help -</strong></p>
<p>Do you know someone. Do 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. Do you know someone who will soon be over seas serving. Maybe 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.</p>
<p>You know someone. You have to, I guarantee it.</p>
<p>I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – <strong>$500 worth</strong>, to be exact. The winner will receive a photo session along with all the digital files to fully decorate their home and be able to share with friends and family AND a printed 11&#215;14 of one of the images. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.</p>
<p>Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a <strong>FREE</strong> session worth $150.00. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?</p>
<p>The rules:<br />
* 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.)<br />
* You can only win one Giving is Awesome Contest in your area, that way more giving takes place, and more people benifit.<br />
* The nominee must reside in the Bethlehem/Lehigh Valley area. 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.<br />
* You must e-mail me the full story : mike@mcnettimages.com<br />
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!<br />
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.</p>
<p>With much love,</p>
<p>Mike McNett</p>
