inspira(shown) is a monthly project i do. a story that needs to be told. a story and person that needs to be honored. a spirit that must be captured. where someone who reads this blog knows of someone. or someone they know knows someone. and they nomonate them. tell me their story and why they are an inspiration and i get to meet, listen, talk, plan and shoot with them. share their story here. honor them. and inspire others. it’s something that has been on my heart and something i know i am called to do. something i love to do.

so what would this person look like? really, it can be anyone, anywhere, anything. it doesn’t necessarily even have to be in Seattle. trust me, more amazing things have happened than travel.

it can be a story of acheievement or of patience. one that moves others. inspires. and honors someone that you respect and admire. it is someone you look at and just know that others will be blessed and encouraged by hearing their story.

i want their to be variety and for you to know there basically aren’t any rules surrounding this. please don’t think the story you have is not good enough. if someone has inspired you or moved you or you just know someone who has demonstrated an immovable spirit and strength…please, let me know. this will be a *free* session at no cost to anyone, it’s not and never about money. they could very well be quite wealthy (or not at all) and be able to afford a portrait session, it’s about honoring them and sharing an inspiring story with others. joys and strength are to be shared and i can’t wait to see the people I get to tell you about.

if you know of someone who fits this mold and needs to be blessed, honored and have their story told. please let me know.

here are the guidelines.

1) You must nominate them. (and not tell them you did so)

2) Send me their story and why they inspire you and others in one page or less (attached word document)

3) Include their contact info: email and phone.

4) Nominations can be sent in until the last monday of each month and then I will notify you and them by the last Friday.

5) All the information should be sent to Andria@AndriaLindquist.com with “Inspira(shown)” in the headline.
