wow...feelin' humbled tonight...

some of you might know that i was doing a free photo session giveaway on my Lissarie Photography facebook fanpage...the drawing was today.  i did the random number selector to choose my winner.  i asked the winner to email me to set up a date for a photo session. 

let me just first say that i do these giveaways and specials in order to market myself and to ultimately make a little extra money because i typically just give away 5 pics or so and people want to buy more...but mainly i do it to get my business name out there.  ;) 

so anyway this lady emailed me and said she would like to give this free session away to one of her friends who does not have a lot of money, is a single mom and is struggling.  she said her niece is a hair stylist and she has a friend who is a make up artist and she's going to give it to her as a gift and she is so grateful that she won!  i just feel humbled right now.  going into this giveaway a little selfishly...and now the outcome has me just in awe.  so amazing that someone would do something so special for another.  isn't that just great??  i think i want to do something special for this lady too, like maybe give her AND her friend a free session.  i wonder if she will let me tell her story on my Lissarie weblog, omitting names of course....i just think it could really touch someone's heart....just like it has touched mine tonight.  :)
