Want to win a holiday gift to last a lifetime? Barrington’s own Thomas Balsamo is giving away the gift of portraiture in a brand new contest we’re kicking off this Thanksgiving week at 365Barrington.com. It’s called our Greatest Gifts Holiday Photo Contest. For a chance to win, simply share a snapshot below of anyone in your life for whom you are grateful. On the line for FOUR WINNERS are generous prizes from Portraits by Thomas!
We all want beautiful portraits of our children and that is the true gift of Portraits by Thomas. Through an interpretive style of photography developed over many years of study, Thomas Balsamo’s fine-art portraits capture the essence of the individual…
But there are no professional portraits needed to enter our Greatest Gifts Photo Contest! Just take a minute to think about who is on the list of people for whom you’re grateful this Thanksgiving. It could be anyone who brings you joy in ways, big and small. Family, friends, neighbors, the tolerant teacher, kind bus driver, friendly mailman, ANYONE who makes your life a little brighter just by being in it. Submit a snapshot you’ve taken of whomever comes to mind for a chance to win one of FOUR Portraits by Thomas prizes.
You’ll find the entry form below, but I’ll go first.
Our three kids are among our greatest gifts. They provide countless opportunities for me to practice being patient, sorry, forgiving and calm. I’m no expert in any of these areas but I’m working on it. They challenge me to be better and make life more colorful. For that, I am thankful. Here’s a photo I took during a family trip to San Francisco.
OK now it’s your turn! To enter the contest share a recent or past snapshot of one or more of your “greatest gifts” – those people who make you happy – and tell us what makes them special. There will be FOUR WINNERS in this contest. The first place prize is a FREE basic portrait session with Thomas Balsamo (a $200 value) PLUS an additional $100 toward your portrait order. Three runners-up will each receive a $100 gift certificate toward a portrait session with Thomas.
