After receiving many emails and messages from people wanting to buy the purebaby® Posing Guide, printed and in digital formats, I’ve decided that TODAY ONLY I will release the remaining books on the shelf for 2011!  But in doing so, I sat down and said a little prayer and asked God what good I can do with the money from the sales.  He guided me to seek out someone or a family who was in need this Holiday Season.  I really didn’t know where to start.  Then late last night, it came to me.  I contacted a client of mine with whom I had bonded with a few months back when she brought her newly adopted newborn baby to me to photograph him the first few days after birth.  I felt she would be a great person to get me in contact with someone who needed a little help at this time.  She herself, also said a prayer asking God to direct her to the right family.  You see at first, she had someone else in mind, but God directed her elsewhere.  Not that the other person isn’t as deserving, but for some reason, God directed her otherwise.  This just shows how God works in our lives.  It’s not OUR plan, but HIS.  I don’t know why God led her to this family, but HE has.  I have yet to meet them, but I know now what He wants me to do.

So without further ado, I am putting the remaining printed books in the store TODAY ONLY.  There are only a few books left for 2011, so you’ll want to hurry!  If you aren’t quick enough to get one, the digital book will be in the store as well, TODAY ONLY.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE BOOKS TODAY WILL BE DONATED TO THE FAMILY IN NEED
