To kick of our "grand re-opening" we are going to hold a very special April Special in honor of a very special and beautiful itty bitty baby named Scarlette...
You see, her Mommy went in to preterm labor, too. However, the doctors were not able to stop it, and her precious baby was born at 25 weeks. You can read all about Scarlette's story here. The huge blessing is that Scarlette is alive & well, but she is fighting for her chance to go home from the NICU. Her story touches my heart to its core for many reasons, but mostly because we just went through the scare of preterm labor ourselves. No one knows what causes preterm labor, and why sometimes the doctors can successfully stop it, and other times they cannot. I am eternally grateful that they were able to stop mine when it started at 29 weeks. But not a moment went by that week or in the weeks that followed that I didn't think of sweet Scarlette and her Mom, KA, realizing they were not as lucky. When I went into labor again at 36 weeks, this time, they were unable to stop it. But our was born healthy and strong, despite the doctors' many warnings of all the problems he could have had. Again, I Thank God for this blessing, but I have to wonder why? Why do some babies make it just fine, some struggle and still many others never make it at all?
It is the goal of The March of Dimes to research and find answers to these and many other questions. And now, KA and her husband Jeff, have started Team Scarlett to obtain sponsors for their walk in The March of Dimes. We consider it a privilege to partner with them and be able to offer two April Specials in their honor:
- %10 of all sessions and sales from the month of April will be donated to Team Scarlette at The March of Dimes.
- Anyone who books a session for the month of April and mentions Team Scarlette will receive a free $50 print credit, good towards any combination of professional prints up to $50! (Remember, you also get a high resolution CD of all your edited images with your session fee!)
We are praying for baby Scarlette and we thank you for helping us support them! I look forward to hearing from you!
