Thank you to my client and friend, Melinda, for bringing Ben to me that day and allowing me to photograph his first few days of life.  Newborns are my passion like a breath of fresh air.  A moment we should all capture in photographs to be cherished a lifetime.  All my children are grown now and I’m thankful for the actual photographs I have to look back on their younger days….Cherish every moment ..the new, the in between, and the old.  They are your family…they are your life.

This is Ben now….

The purebaby® Newborn Photography Guide to Posing and Business in a DIGITAL EBOOK has now been released!!  Available through Photo Dough at this time until Monday, May 14, 2012 at a GREAT low price of only $69!!

We are offering this ONE TIME DISCOUNT to all of you and those of you who have purchased the first edition!  We figured it would be great to offer a discount so those of you who have purchased the first edition will get it at a great discount without having to pay full price!

It won’t be at this price for long, so if you’ve been wanting this, now is the time to grab it!

Within 48 hours of  the deal ending, you will be emailed a link where you can go and download the files.  Put them on your computer, iPad, iPhone, iPod, or any other digital reader and enjoy the book on-the-go.  The epub file can be used on iPads and represents an actual book you can flip through and read.  The printed book is still available in the store for those wanting an actual book they can hold in their hands.

Some people have purchased the previous 2011 purebaby® Posing Book and want to know is there any difference in the two books.  While the 2011 Posing book is no longer available, the second edition is not just a posing book.  It’s an actual photography guide to help you get started or further your skills in the newborn photography business.  With brand new images throughout, you will also find comprehensive details in what you need to do before hanging out your shingle, understanding exposure and histograms, working with parents, essential baby tools, baby safety, planning the session, and the main key, the six-step  pose-to-pose™ Transitional Technique I have created and developed to help you learn how to transition the baby from one pose to the next with little disruption of the baby.  This is the biggest question I get at the workshops I teach;  ”How do you move the baby to the next pose without waking them up?”  You’ll find your answer plus a whole lot more in the new 2012 Second Edition!
