I am so excited to share this post. AHH! Back in April, we teamed up with an awesome group of other companies and put together a huge expectant mama prize package for the most deserving San Diego Family. The prize pack consisted of:
- A maternity session with Chrystal Cienfuegos Photography which includes a digital and print package
- A newborn video birth announcement from Murasaki Media which include a private filming at your home, a 1 to 2 minute video of your newborn set to music and one DVD copy
- A $15 dollar gift certificate to use at Bitty Baby Bands
- A custom Birth Announcement Print from Nursery HeART
- A baby wrap and $50 gift card to Tula Baby Carriers
- One 6 week class and a Signing Time DVD from Sign 4 Baby
- A $40 gift card to the Babies in Bloom boutique
We received many nominations, all of which were very touching and inspirational. I wanted everyone to win the prize!! Unfortunately, we could only choose one winner: Missy & Bryan Lanning (and their son Oliver)! Missy & Bryan are very warm, caring, and generous people who have had a rough road to becoming parents. After a 10 week miscarriage and a 20 week stillbirth, Missy is pregnant again with little Ollie who is due in only a few more weeks. One of the things that made me so excited to give back to the Lannings (besides Bryan's incredible note about his wife) was when I found that Missy had been sharing her story and has become a support and backbone for thousands of other moms that have dealt with similar situations. They really are an incredible couple and I was over the moon to award them with this gift. I hope little Ollie cherishes these forever!
Here are my favorites from the session.......Missy wanted "golden & romantic beachy" and I think we did just that. <3
My fav :)
