I am nominating my sister in law, Courtney Hanks. She is a hardworking maternity nurse who gives her all to babies, mamas, and families each and every day (and probably will right up to her due date in April!). Knowing her leave time may be limited and getting back to work means longer shifts and time away from her soon to be little guy, this session and the photos from it would be create the sweetest memories to have and look back on!ReplyCancel
I (Grandmother if baby to be) would like to nominate Rose Higgins and her soon to be son coming this April! She is the mother to 2 beautiful girls and they are over the moon to meet their baby brother to be. This baby came as a complete surprise and she would be thrilled and shocked to be able to celebrate her complete family together with a full newborn session and all the perks!ReplyCancel
Nominee: Courtney Hanks, I believe Courtney is someone who deserves this photo shoot for a multitude of reasons beyond a nice opportunity. She is caring and responsible individual, who has taken charge in her life, and has created a welcoming environment for her expected first born child. She always works so hard for everything she does, and this would be a wonderful relief in regards to making everlasting memories. Keep up the great work, and keep making people proud. ReplyCancel
I (Rachel’s mom) would like to
nominate Rachel Winoski for this shoot. Rachel is so blessed to have 2 children
and one on the way arriving in June this year. My grandson, Benji, will be 4 in
June and my granddaughter daughter Vivian who will turn 2 in April. When
someone from the outside looks at Rachel’s life, it is very easy to say wow,
she has two healthy children who are 22 months apart, pregnant for the 3rd
time, and assume everything is normal. What people don’t know about her is that
she sprinted a marathon to have her three children. Rachel grew up in a very
large family. My husband and I each have 4 siblings. Rachel has one bother; 21
cousins and her cousins have 19 children and the number is growing. Growing up,
we were always surrounded by a huge family and we never once heard the word
infertility. When you grow up, no one envisions that this could be part of your
story. It became a very harsh reality of Rachel’s and one we knew nothing about.
Rachel married her husband Mike
in 2015 and they both always knew that they wanted a family. In the process of
trying to have children, Rachel learned that she has a rare genetic disorder. Rachel
has something called a tripled balanced translocation. Essentially, her DNA is
rearranged, and the doctors believe that at some point in her life, this shift
happened, she wasn’t born this way. They have seen examples where individuals
have one or two chromosomes strands that have broken off and attached to other
chromosomes, but they confirmed that none of their doctors, a majority of which
had over 30 years’ experience, had ever seen a situation where three had done
this. Rachel was the first in this Connecticut practice.
Thankfully, it has no impact on her
personal health which is essentially why we never knew she had it. However, the
only side effect it does have is that it makes it extremely difficult to have
children. The only way you learn you have it is through multiple miscarriages
which was the case for Rachel. It took
multiple losses and essentially 2 years for Rachel to get pregnant with Benji.
For those that have had similar experience, the doctors and nurses call it
“graduation” when you transfer from your IVF clinic back to your regular
doctors. Although, her doctor and nurse were her biggest cheerleaders, Rachel
distinctly remembers when it came time to graduate, them saying to Rachel, we
will be honest with you now. We aren’t really sure how you got here. Your son
and any future children you may have are miracles. When your doctors and
nurses, who believe in science and statistics tell you that, it is forever
impactful.
Rachel and her husband spent the past
6 years at the IVF clinic in order to welcome Benji, Vivian, and baby girl
Winoski this June. When we look back at her journey thus far, we really wonder
how Rachel survived certain moments. We would love to honor Rachel and her family
with these photos for her to have a forever memory in their home as their
family will now be complete with their 3 miracles babies. ReplyCancel
Dr. Stefanie Gillson is a psychiatrist trained in child and adolescent psychiatry, as well as public psychiatry.

Thank you, Stefanie, for all that you do. And a huge thank you to the photography extraordinaire, Saren!!ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate my close friend, Emily Adams for this photo shoot! She has had a hard pregnancy, most of it during COVID surges, making it hard for her to enjoy such a beautiful period in her life!! I never had photos done like this with my first and I feel like I don’t even remember these days! I don’t want her to forget the beautiful newborn stage and she deserves to have those beautiful days commemorated!ReplyCancel
Emily Adams. I want to nominate her because this year we will have our first child together. Emily has always wanted to be a mom and I admire her love and efforts towards loving everyone in her life. 2022 has brought a lot of struggles into her life and I think this would not only ease her mind but get her the newborn pictures she wants but we didn’t think we would be able to have. ReplyCancel
Nominating my good friend Jenna Soper. She is the most selfless & giving person I know. After struggling for over a year to conceive she was ready to talk about solutions with her doctor. Just shy of a week until that appointment she found out she was in fact pregnant! Her fiancé had just lost his mother & this news was what they needed to get them through the dark days. She’s due in September & we are over the moon excited for her!<3ReplyCancel
I’d love to nominate my friend Emily Adams! She is so deserving in every single way. She has always been someone I can go to and I know who would do anything for anyone.

Savannah is an incredibly hard worker, she is compassionate, and when focused on a goal works to achieve it, despite obstacles!! Raising her son Oakley, going to school full time to be an RN, working part time as a waitress, made for some hard and stressful years!!
Now married to my amazing son Ben, she works harder than ever, 12 hr shifts 3p-3a as an RN in the ER, plus caring for her family and new home, no sacrifice is too great for her family.
This photo shoot would be an amazing and much appreciated opportunity, for this precious family.ReplyCancel
I nominate MEGAN BENTLEY because she is a great sister to me. She has always cared for me like a mother while growing up. With her becoming a mother, she has nothing to worry about because she is so caring and it comes naturally. Megan has always taken care of children with the ski team, being a nany, and family. Megan has been dreaming of having kids for a while and now it came true. You’re first child is always so exciting, and winning this contest would just make it complete.ReplyCancel

I would like to nominate Elyse Kycia for the “deserving mama award.” The fact is she is irrefutably deserving because as a colleague and gifted teacher I have observed that she treats and supports her students as if they were her own children with an artful blend of TLC while fostering development of personal responsibility. These attributes make her an awesome mom.ReplyCancel
I nominate my lovely sister Marinela Pecaj. I cannot find enough words to describe how wonderful she is. She is a hard working, dedicated, loving mother and role model to her two year old daughter. No matter how young she is, we can all learn from her. She will stop at nothing to make sure everything is perfect! There is noone i can think of that would deserve this amazing prize more than her. ReplyCancel
I nominate Jessica and Steve because I worked with Jessica at a daycare and she not only treated every child like they were her own and now that she has her family and will be welcoming twins and also have an older daughter it would be such a blessing for her and her family to have pictures for years to come. ReplyCancel
I wholeheartedly nominate Elyse Kycia. She works tirelessly for her students to make sure not only that they receive a top notch education, but also feel that they are cared for and have a place to belong. Her enthusiasm radiates as she inspires so many young minds. Elyse also gives of herself freely to friends and family. She is a creative mom and teacher, that is not afraid to act silly just to see a smile. Elyse is one of a kind! ReplyCancel

After coming from work she would clean and cook, take care of her family. This is why she deserves this gift, because dhe is the most devoted mother, whife, friend, sister I have have ever known. Please choose her, because she deserves it. ????ReplyCancel

Sara Evans deserves this photo shoot! She’s not only an amazing momma to her 2 year old daughter and little man on the way, but she’s also the creator/admin of a Facebook group dedicated to helping and supporting other breastfeeding moms. The community on Facebook originated from a small group of women attending a supper group for breastfeeding but has since grown to hundreds of local women who turn to the group for support with feeding, parenting, or plain old venting. Sara keeps it real and fun for all of us! ReplyCancel
Megan Bentley. I am the minister that officiated Megan and William’s wedding. What a lovely couple, extended family, and group of friends. Just one of the wonderful things that I observed during their reception was how both Megan and William interacted with the children that were in attendance. Here it was their special day and they were enjoying making it a really fun day for the young ones. It was quite apparent that they would be eager to start their own family. So, it was no surprise to learn that Megan is expecting. I can think of no other couple more deserving of this generous photo shoot for their first baby. Good luck Megan and Bill! ReplyCancel
I nominate Daniela Guzmán Galdamez. She is such a sweet and kind mother, sister, and aunt. She has cared for me since I have memory, and I always look up to her.

Megan Bentley is a dedicated and caring person who supports and helps people at work every minute of every day.

Although, I have never told her how proud I am to have her in my family today, is the perfect opportunity to tell her. Daniela, is truly a one of a kind. Daniela, devotes her every waking moment to her children. She possess many great qualities but the what resonates the most is her selflessness.

She is due to give birth in a couple of months and I think the best is yet to come for her as a mother. Please, select my dearest sister as she is most deserving .

This is a very exciting time for Megan as she is starting her new life as a now married woman and soon to be mother. ReplyCancel
I nominate Megan Bentley, She just recently got married and is now starting her own family.

What better way to cherish that love than to capture it in a picture for all to see.ReplyCancel
I very proudly cast my vote for Kelli Turner! She is undoubtedly the most deserving person for this award.

Kelli Turner! She is a selfless and giving mom of 3 boys (with one more boy on the way) who always puts her kids and others ahead of herself.

She has ALWAYS wanted a Saren baby photography session and it would be great to see her win this!ReplyCancel

jessica jones!! She deserves this because she’s an amazing mom to beautiful Andi and any woman giving birth to twins deserves a special treat for herself. She’ll be a mother of 3 in a few months and will be living her life for her 3 baby girls and this would be the best gift for her to share with them when they grow up!! ReplyCancel
Jillian Neville! This momma of soon to be three deserves this! She is THE hardest working women I’ve met not to mention the most loving and compassionate friend there is. She’s never had newborn pictures done of her first Two and I absolutely think this will make number three just as memoriable as the first two! Pick Jillian Neville!! ReplyCancel
I nominate Sara Evans. I’ve never seen someone take on motherhood so flawlessly, courageously and happily as her. Her young daughter is growing to be a beautiful young lady, with just as infectious of a heart as her mom. Fairly soon, she will be welcoming a baby boy to the mix and I cannot wait to see her grow her family more. She is a hard worker, dedicated to helping others and rarely taking time for herself. She deserves this to capture precious memories more than anyone I know!ReplyCancel
I nominate Jillian Neville!! She is the most loving, devoted, and passionate wife, friend, and mother I know. She gives herself completely to those that she loves without so much as batting an eyelash and it’s time someone did the same for her, to show what a beautiful family she has created. ReplyCancel
Kelli Turner!!

We all look forward to seeing these angels captured from the lens of Saren????????????God BlessReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner! A soon-to-be mother of 4 boys, she’s as busy and as overworked as they come, yet you wouldn’t know it. She’s quick to ‘make lemonade from lemonsA’ and models a life balanced with conviction and humor. Kelli is a fiercely loving friend to all, and this woman is deserving of this photo shoot!

Please choose Kelli Turner. She is not only a wonderful wife and terrific daughter in law but an amazing, inspiring mom of 3 and soon to see 4 very cute, super photogenic, bright and energetic, adventurous, expressive boys. She is devoted to teaching each one to be positive and supportive, knowledgable, honorable and wise, and to encourage and mentor other moms and families to do the same. ReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner.
She is a momma mentor. I have come to her for parenting advice countless times. In fact, I asked her for advice yesterday and got the response today saying she was going to make me a video but instead decided Skype would be more effective. She is willing to take time out of her busy life to help us other moms. As a new mom, I love having someone I can trust who has been there before to give me her input.ReplyCancel
KELLI TURNER!!! She is expecting baby boy #4, and is one of the best mamas I know. Kelli and I have been friends for (gulp) 23 years, and she’s an incredible person. Sweet, funny, generous, kind…the list goes on. Plus, she has three of the cutest boys on Planet Earth, so I’m certain #4 will be another cutie pie making for an epic photo shoot! Please let her win because she totally deserves it!ReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner who is due to deliver her 4th son in August.
Kelli is a person of immense love and patience. She was my daughter’s speech therapist and we developed our own friendship while she dedicated time to my daughter and was meeting and planning her life with her husband, David.
By the time a woman is having her 4th baby, and again it being the same gender, human nature is to see it as common place and diminish the celebration. Kelli has an amazing spirit and deserves to be celebrated along with her new baby boy, wonderful husband and other 3 wonderful sons. ReplyCancel
I nominate Savannah Marcus my granddaughter because she is an ER nurse with compassion for all her hospital patients. She takes the time to understand their needs and frustrations.

I nominate Megan Bentley. I have worked with her for quite some time and she is the only one at our company that works in numerous departments. This is due to her organizational skills along with her pleasant personality. When a need arises, everyone turns to Megan.As a father of 3 grown children, I know Megan will be a great mom. I have already called her super mom. This child, and any others that she might have, will be blessed from the first day they are here on earth. She is compassionate, loving, and her work with many charitable organizations will make her a perfect mom. WilburReplyCancel

I nominate Elyse Kycia. I nominate her for many reasons. She was my teacher back in middle school and I absolutely loved her. She was the best English teacher I ever had. She is the most kind hearted person you’ll probably ever meet. No one compares to what she does for others. I’ve seen struggle and have her set backs in life and Ive seen her turn them in to positives. I’ve seen her family grow and flourish. Her first child was blessed to have her as a mother and her second will be as well. With all she put in to teaching me and those with me she deserves this more than anyone. I have so much love and respect for her. I would do anything for her. <3 I hope she wins this!!ReplyCancel
I nominate Mrs. Elyse Kycia. I grew up in the same neighborhood with her and took the same bus with her as far back as I can remember. You know those people who rescue u from a really dark place just before it swallows u whole. She was that for me. As the scared first time bus rider going to kindergarten, to the years when doing the right thing wasn’t so easy, she was always that beam of light. So I know of no one more deserving than this beautiful lady and her family that brings hope. ReplyCancel
I nominate Elise Kycia! I know there must be many wonderful mothers mentioned below all deserving of your awesome giveaway. One that I have had the pleasure of knowing is Elise Kycia.

I nominate a good friend of mine, Jillian Neville. There are so many things I could say about Jill, from her positive energy that fills a room, to her dedication to friends and family, but the one thing that stands out for me is the love she has for her children.

For all she does, not once does she ever ask whats in it for her. If there is anyone who is deserving of this, I would have to say it is her. ReplyCancel

There is no doubt in my mind that Charlotte Baribault is the most deserving mom for this opportunity. Despite life’s difficult and trying challenges, Charlotte has faced them with the utmost grace and positivity.

I nominate my daughter, Elyse Kycia, as a deserving mom for this extremely generous photo shoot. With baby #2 due to arrive in July, Elyse continues her daily routine as a middle school teacher. Her happiest moment of each day is when she returns home and is greeted by her little guy, Nolan, with hugs and kisses. Even as a young girl, Elyse would be attracted to babies and was an awesome helper to me when her younger brothers were born. Elyse is a wonderful, dedicated mom, wife, daughter, sister and teacher.

I nominate Brooke Davis for being the most loving , caring mother. I have watched her grow from the day she was born to the beautiful woman / mom she is today. I’d like to take some credit for her motherhood , but it all came so natural to her. She devotes every waking hour to her little girl , lots of love , hugs and kisses. Teaching her new things everyday. She would give her the world if possible. If anyone is deserving of such a great gift I’d say that Brooke is. She is always giving and never taking. Putting herself behind all the ones she loves. She is not only the greatest mother. She is also the greatest daughter , sister , granddaughter , cousin , aunt and friend. XOXOReplyCancel

It would be wonderful if my daughter Jilly won your amazing photo contest. She has a beautiful heart, winning the 4H heart award at camp each year as a child for welcoming and including everyone. When we lived in Singapore, all children were welcomed by her during their look see visits and did not fear moving to a strange place, knowing they would have her for a friend. She is a wonderful daughter, friend, and now mother. Although she was pregnant with her first child, she was right by my side, helping me with my chemo cold caps and keeping me company playing cards, for the year that I received chemotherapy. She would certainly love to have and share your beautiful work with all she knows and meets. Jilly would be forever grateful and appreciative to win such a spectacular welcoming of her newborn child and we appreciate even the opportunity for her to win such wonderful gift. ReplyCancel

Jessica Jones!! The reasons as to why Jessica deserves this are infinite. Her and her husband, Steve, work so hard to support their family, and I know this would be a blessing for both of them.

Jill Neville- I have known Jill for about 10 years now. From the day I met her, I knew she was a friend for life. Her heart is genuine and truly made of gold. She would do anything for her loved ones- family and friends. She is always there to lend a hand to those who need it, to listen when you’re in need of a friend, and to laugh when you want to share old memories. She is one of the most grateful people that I have ever met, and that is quite inspiring in this day and age. She does all this while being an amazing wife and mother of two! Now let’s treat Jill’s little blessing to a beautiful photo shoot!ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate Jillian Neville. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know.

I would like to nominate my daughter Megan Toner Bentley and husband Bill Bentley. Megan is due in August, and it’s her 1st baby! We are beyond excited and nervous at the same time. Megan was diagnosed with Juvenille Diabetes at 16 months and had had a very healthy life:) She however has been sick everyday and her levels all over the place but doesn’t complain at all. I think she would love this because she loves your talent:) ReplyCancel
Jill Neville – I’m going to be real here. Jill is extra deserving of this win. She’s put her family before herself numerous times, and been such an example of sacrificial love. Not only has she continued loving her beautiful kids through the best of times, but Jill has also done it through grief, through pain and through probably some of the hardest loss she’s ever experienced. I’ve seen how she is like light – brightening up the places she is, and I’ve seen how it’s changed the people around her. When she married my cousin I knew she was going to be a game changer and she is. She’s strong, she is brace and she loves selflessly. This girl deserves this and I can say that truthfully from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks. ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate my best friend Megan Bentley. This is her first child and it would mean to world to her to have beautiful photos taken of her newborn.

Everything she does is for her daughter, family and friends. Being a mother is something she was born to do…which is why God has blessed her with TWINS this pregnancy!! Good luck Jessica. I love you!

I nominate my dear best friend Kerry McDougal. She has a sweet,silly 9 month old boy with the most adorable smile and contagious laugh, and expecting her second child, a little princess! Kerry is an amazing person,beautiful on the inside as well as the out. She and her husband Michael have taken on parenthood with such grace. They are so proud of their boy. I’m so excited to see them all together when their little girl arrives. They work so hard to give their child (soon to be children) a wonderful life and truly deserve this session, to make memories that will last a lifetime. Wishing on all the stars in the sky that Kerry will be chosen! ReplyCancel
I am voting for Jessica Jones. There are not enough words or space to list all the reasons why she is deserving. I have known her since college and still through all these years she remains dedicated and loyal to those that she loves. She a genuine, good hearted person where family means everything. Nothing melts my heart more than seeing my best friend transition to the wonderful mother she is. It’s no wonder she is bringing twins into this world, she truly is a blessing and these new lil ones are going to be so honored and lucky to be able to call Jessica Mom. She deserves this and so much more!!!!ReplyCancel
Jessica Jones! I could go on forever as to why she deserves this… she is already such an amazing mama of one, and soon to be a mom of 2 more! Twins!!!!! Jessica puts family and friends before anything in the world, and this would be something that would make her so happy!! She is really the best mom, and I know this would just mean the world to her and her growing family! Fingers and toes crossed for Jess!ReplyCancel

I am nominating my sister in law, Courtney Hanks. She is a hardworking maternity nurse who gives her all to babies, mamas, and families each and every day (and probably will right up to her due date in April!). Knowing her leave time may be limited and getting back to work means longer shifts and time away from her soon to be little guy, this session and the photos from it would be create the sweetest memories to have and look back on!ReplyCancel
I (Grandmother if baby to be) would like to nominate Rose Higgins and her soon to be son coming this April! She is the mother to 2 beautiful girls and they are over the moon to meet their baby brother to be. This baby came as a complete surprise and she would be thrilled and shocked to be able to celebrate her complete family together with a full newborn session and all the perks!ReplyCancel
Nominee: Courtney Hanks, I believe Courtney is someone who deserves this photo shoot for a multitude of reasons beyond a nice opportunity. She is caring and responsible individual, who has taken charge in her life, and has created a welcoming environment for her expected first born child. She always works so hard for everything she does, and this would be a wonderful relief in regards to making everlasting memories. Keep up the great work, and keep making people proud. ReplyCancel
I (Rachel’s mom) would like to
nominate Rachel Winoski for this shoot. Rachel is so blessed to have 2 children
and one on the way arriving in June this year. My grandson, Benji, will be 4 in
June and my granddaughter daughter Vivian who will turn 2 in April. When
someone from the outside looks at Rachel’s life, it is very easy to say wow,
she has two healthy children who are 22 months apart, pregnant for the 3rd
time, and assume everything is normal. What people don’t know about her is that
she sprinted a marathon to have her three children. Rachel grew up in a very
large family. My husband and I each have 4 siblings. Rachel has one bother; 21
cousins and her cousins have 19 children and the number is growing. Growing up,
we were always surrounded by a huge family and we never once heard the word
infertility. When you grow up, no one envisions that this could be part of your
story. It became a very harsh reality of Rachel’s and one we knew nothing about.
Rachel married her husband Mike
in 2015 and they both always knew that they wanted a family. In the process of
trying to have children, Rachel learned that she has a rare genetic disorder. Rachel
has something called a tripled balanced translocation. Essentially, her DNA is
rearranged, and the doctors believe that at some point in her life, this shift
happened, she wasn’t born this way. They have seen examples where individuals
have one or two chromosomes strands that have broken off and attached to other
chromosomes, but they confirmed that none of their doctors, a majority of which
had over 30 years’ experience, had ever seen a situation where three had done
this. Rachel was the first in this Connecticut practice.
Thankfully, it has no impact on her
personal health which is essentially why we never knew she had it. However, the
only side effect it does have is that it makes it extremely difficult to have
children. The only way you learn you have it is through multiple miscarriages
which was the case for Rachel. It took
multiple losses and essentially 2 years for Rachel to get pregnant with Benji.
For those that have had similar experience, the doctors and nurses call it
“graduation” when you transfer from your IVF clinic back to your regular
doctors. Although, her doctor and nurse were her biggest cheerleaders, Rachel
distinctly remembers when it came time to graduate, them saying to Rachel, we
will be honest with you now. We aren’t really sure how you got here. Your son
and any future children you may have are miracles. When your doctors and
nurses, who believe in science and statistics tell you that, it is forever
impactful.
Rachel and her husband spent the past
6 years at the IVF clinic in order to welcome Benji, Vivian, and baby girl
Winoski this June. When we look back at her journey thus far, we really wonder
how Rachel survived certain moments. We would love to honor Rachel and her family
with these photos for her to have a forever memory in their home as their
family will now be complete with their 3 miracles babies. ReplyCancel
Dr. Stefanie Gillson is a psychiatrist trained in child and adolescent psychiatry, as well as public psychiatry. She is a fierce advocate for women’s mental health, co-founding the Women’s Mental Health Conference at Yale and the Yale Women’s Housestaff Association. Her efforts have significantly benefited many physician moms and affected change on a system-wide level. She has also been involved in developing community-based initiatives to address mental health disparities among Indigenous populations and actively recruits Indigenous youth into the medical field.

Thank you, Stefanie, for all that you do. And a huge thank you to the photography extraordinaire, Saren!!ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate my close friend, Emily Adams for this photo shoot! She has had a hard pregnancy, most of it during COVID surges, making it hard for her to enjoy such a beautiful period in her life!! I never had photos done like this with my first and I feel like I don’t even remember these days! I don’t want her to forget the beautiful newborn stage and she deserves to have those beautiful days commemorated!ReplyCancel
Emily Adams. I want to nominate her because this year we will have our first child together. Emily has always wanted to be a mom and I admire her love and efforts towards loving everyone in her life. 2022 has brought a lot of struggles into her life and I think this would not only ease her mind but get her the newborn pictures she wants but we didn’t think we would be able to have. ReplyCancel
Nominating my good friend Jenna Soper. She is the most selfless & giving person I know. After struggling for over a year to conceive she was ready to talk about solutions with her doctor. Just shy of a week until that appointment she found out she was in fact pregnant! Her fiancé had just lost his mother & this news was what they needed to get them through the dark days. She’s due in September & we are over the moon excited for her!<3ReplyCancel
I’d love to nominate my friend Emily Adams! She is so deserving in every single way. She has always been someone I can go to and I know who would do anything for anyone.

I would like to nominate Elyse Kycia for the “deserving mama award.” The fact is she is irrefutably deserving because as a colleague and gifted teacher I have observed that she treats and supports her students as if they were her own children with an artful blend of TLC while fostering development of personal responsibility. These attributes make her an awesome mom.ReplyCancel

Sara Evans deserves this photo shoot! She’s not only an amazing momma to her 2 year old daughter and little man on the way, but she’s also the creator/admin of a Facebook group dedicated to helping and supporting other breastfeeding moms. The community on Facebook originated from a small group of women attending a supper group for breastfeeding but has since grown to hundreds of local women who turn to the group for support with feeding, parenting, or plain old venting. Sara keeps it real and fun for all of us! ReplyCancel
Megan Bentley. I am the minister that officiated Megan and William’s wedding. What a lovely couple, extended family, and group of friends. Just one of the wonderful things that I observed during their reception was how both Megan and William interacted with the children that were in attendance. Here it was their special day and they were enjoying making it a really fun day for the young ones. It was quite apparent that they would be eager to start their own family. So, it was no surprise to learn that Megan is expecting. I can think of no other couple more deserving of this generous photo shoot for their first baby. Good luck Megan and Bill! ReplyCancel
I nominate Daniela Guzmán Galdamez. She is such a sweet and kind mother, sister, and aunt. She has cared for me since I have memory, and I always look up to her.

Megan Bentley is a dedicated and caring person who supports and helps people at work every minute of every day.

Although, I have never told her how proud I am to have her in my family today, is the perfect opportunity to tell her. Daniela, is truly a one of a kind. Daniela, devotes her every waking moment to her children. She possess many great qualities but the what resonates the most is her selflessness.

She is due to give birth in a couple of months and I think the best is yet to come for her as a mother. Please, select my dearest sister as she is most deserving .

Kelli Turner! She is a selfless and giving mom of 3 boys (with one more boy on the way) who always puts her kids and others ahead of herself. She is constantly thinking about how to be generous and taught me how to be generous too at a whole new level. She always gives her best and never asks for anything in return.

I nominate Kerry McDougal for this photo shoot, she is such an amazing, beautiful caring mom to my beautiful grandson Macallan. I am so grateful to have Kerry as my daughter in law. She just amazes me with her drive, creativity and kindness. Kerry deserves this wonderful surprise while she awaits her new baby girl. ReplyCancel
jessica jones!! She deserves this because she’s an amazing mom to beautiful Andi and any woman giving birth to twins deserves a special treat for herself. She’ll be a mother of 3 in a few months and will be living her life for her 3 baby girls and this would be the best gift for her to share with them when they grow up!! ReplyCancel
Jillian Neville! This momma of soon to be three deserves this! She is THE hardest working women I’ve met not to mention the most loving and compassionate friend there is. She’s never had newborn pictures done of her first Two and I absolutely think this will make number three just as memoriable as the first two! Pick Jillian Neville!! ReplyCancel
I nominate Sara Evans. I’ve never seen someone take on motherhood so flawlessly, courageously and happily as her. Her young daughter is growing to be a beautiful young lady, with just as infectious of a heart as her mom. Fairly soon, she will be welcoming a baby boy to the mix and I cannot wait to see her grow her family more. She is a hard worker, dedicated to helping others and rarely taking time for herself. She deserves this to capture precious memories more than anyone I know!ReplyCancel
I nominate Jillian Neville!! She is the most loving, devoted, and passionate wife, friend, and mother I know. She gives herself completely to those that she loves without so much as batting an eyelash and it’s time someone did the same for her, to show what a beautiful family she has created. ReplyCancel
Kelli Turner!!
She is the most beautiful, self-less, caring, and grace-filled mother of soon to be four Turner boys whom she is raising to be the most wonderful gentlemen and people! Her family has been such an inspiration (and great friends!!) to ours! Can’t think of anyone more deserving and who would appreciate this lovely gift more! 🙂ReplyCancel
I nominate Jessica Jones for this amazing opportunity to have her sweet twin baby girls photographed with their “big” sister and to be able to capture one of life’s most amazing blessings.

We all look forward to seeing these angels captured from the lens of Saren????????????God BlessReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner! A soon-to-be mother of 4 boys, she’s as busy and as overworked as they come, yet you wouldn’t know it. She’s quick to ‘make lemonade from lemonsA’ and models a life balanced with conviction and humor. Kelli is a fiercely loving friend to all, and this woman is deserving of this photo shoot!

She is devoted to teaching each one to be positive and supportive, knowledgable, honorable and wise, and to encourage and mentor other moms and families to do the same. ReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner.
She is a momma mentor. I have come to her for parenting advice countless times. In fact, I asked her for advice yesterday and got the response today saying she was going to make me a video but instead decided Skype would be more effective. She is willing to take time out of her busy life to help us other moms. As a new mom, I love having someone I can trust who has been there before to give me her input.ReplyCancel
KELLI TURNER!!! She is expecting baby boy #4, and is one of the best mamas I know. Kelli and I have been friends for (gulp) 23 years, and she’s an incredible person. Sweet, funny, generous, kind…the list goes on. Plus, she has three of the cutest boys on Planet Earth, so I’m certain #4 will be another cutie pie making for an epic photo shoot! Please let her win because she totally deserves it!ReplyCancel
I nominate Kelli Turner who is due to deliver her 4th son in August.
Kelli is a person of immense love and patience. She was my daughter’s speech therapist and we developed our own friendship while she dedicated time to my daughter and was meeting and planning her life with her husband, David.
By the time a woman is having her 4th baby, and again it being the same gender, human nature is to see it as common place and diminish the celebration. Kelli has an amazing spirit and deserves to be celebrated along with her new baby boy, wonderful husband and other 3 wonderful sons. ReplyCancel
I nominate Savannah Marcus my granddaughter because she is an ER nurse with compassion for all her hospital patients. She takes the time to understand their needs and frustrations.

I nominate Megan Bentley. I have worked with her for quite some time and she is the only one at our company that works in numerous departments. This is due to her organizational skills along with her pleasant personality. When a need arises, everyone turns to Megan.As a father of 3 grown children, I know Megan will be a great mom. I have already called her super mom. This child, and any others that she might have, will be blessed from the first day they are here on earth. She is compassionate, loving, and her work with many charitable organizations will make her a perfect mom. WilburReplyCancel

I nominate Elyse Kycia. I nominate her for many reasons. She was my teacher back in middle school and I absolutely loved her. She was the best English teacher I ever had. She is the most kind hearted person you’ll probably ever meet. No one compares to what she does for others. I’ve seen struggle and have her set backs in life and Ive seen her turn them in to positives. I’ve seen her family grow and flourish. Her first child was blessed to have her as a mother and her second will be as well. With all she put in to teaching me and those with me she deserves this more than anyone. I have so much love and respect for her. I would do anything for her. <3 I hope she wins this!!ReplyCancel
I nominate Mrs. Elyse Kycia. I grew up in the same neighborhood with her and took the same bus with her as far back as I can remember. You know those people who rescue u from a really dark place just before it swallows u whole. She was that for me. As the scared first time bus rider going to kindergarten, to the years when doing the right thing wasn’t so easy, she was always that beam of light. So I know of no one more deserving than this beautiful lady and her family that brings hope. ReplyCancel
I nominate Elise Kycia! I know there must be many wonderful mothers mentioned below all deserving of your awesome giveaway. One that I have had the pleasure of knowing is Elise Kycia.

I nominate a good friend of mine, Jillian Neville. There are so many things I could say about Jill, from her positive energy that fills a room, to her dedication to friends and family, but the one thing that stands out for me is the love she has for her children.

For all she does, not once does she ever ask whats in it for her. If there is anyone who is deserving of this, I would have to say it is her. ReplyCancel

There is no doubt in my mind that Charlotte Baribault is the most deserving mom for this opportunity. Despite life’s difficult and trying challenges, Charlotte has faced them with the utmost grace and positivity.

I nominate my daughter, Elyse Kycia, as a deserving mom for this extremely generous photo shoot. With baby #2 due to arrive in July, Elyse continues her daily routine as a middle school teacher. Her happiest moment of each day is when she returns home and is greeted by her little guy, Nolan, with hugs and kisses. Even as a young girl, Elyse would be attracted to babies and was an awesome helper to me when her younger brothers were born. Elyse is a wonderful, dedicated mom, wife, daughter, sister and teacher.

I nominate Brooke Davis for being the most loving , caring mother. I have watched her grow from the day she was born to the beautiful woman / mom she is today. I’d like to take some credit for her motherhood , but it all came so natural to her. She devotes every waking hour to her little girl , lots of love , hugs and kisses. Teaching her new things everyday. She would give her the world if possible. If anyone is deserving of such a great gift I’d say that Brooke is. She is always giving and never taking. Putting herself behind all the ones she loves. She is not only the greatest mother. She is also the greatest daughter , sister , granddaughter , cousin , aunt and friend. XOXOReplyCancel

It would be wonderful if my daughter Jilly won your amazing photo contest. She has a beautiful heart, winning the 4H heart award at camp each year as a child for welcoming and including everyone. When we lived in Singapore, all children were welcomed by her during their look see visits and did not fear moving to a strange place, knowing they would have her for a friend. She is a wonderful daughter, friend, and now mother. Although she was pregnant with her first child, she was right by my side, helping me with my chemo cold caps and keeping me company playing cards, for the year that I received chemotherapy. She would certainly love to have and share your beautiful work with all she knows and meets. Jilly would be forever grateful and appreciative to win such a spectacular welcoming of her newborn child and we appreciate even the opportunity for her to win such wonderful gift. ReplyCancel

Jessica Jones!! The reasons as to why Jessica deserves this are infinite. Her and her husband, Steve, work so hard to support their family, and I know this would be a blessing for both of them.

Jill Neville- I have known Jill for about 10 years now. From the day I met her, I knew she was a friend for life. Her heart is genuine and truly made of gold. She would do anything for her loved ones- family and friends. She is always there to lend a hand to those who need it, to listen when you’re in need of a friend, and to laugh when you want to share old memories. She is one of the most grateful people that I have ever met, and that is quite inspiring in this day and age. She does all this while being an amazing wife and mother of two! Now let’s treat Jill’s little blessing to a beautiful photo shoot!ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate Jillian Neville. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know.

I would like to nominate my daughter Megan Toner Bentley and husband Bill Bentley. Megan is due in August, and it’s her 1st baby! We are beyond excited and nervous at the same time. Megan was diagnosed with Juvenille Diabetes at 16 months and had had a very healthy life:) She however has been sick everyday and her levels all over the place but doesn’t complain at all. I think she would love this because she loves your talent:) ReplyCancel
Jill Neville – I’m going to be real here. Jill is extra deserving of this win. She’s put her family before herself numerous times, and been such an example of sacrificial love. Not only has she continued loving her beautiful kids through the best of times, but Jill has also done it through grief, through pain and through probably some of the hardest loss she’s ever experienced. I’ve seen how she is like light – brightening up the places she is, and I’ve seen how it’s changed the people around her. When she married my cousin I knew she was going to be a game changer and she is. She’s strong, she is brace and she loves selflessly. This girl deserves this and I can say that truthfully from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks. ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate my best friend Megan Bentley. This is her first child and it would mean to world to her to have beautiful photos taken of her newborn.

I would like to nominate my fiancé Brooke Davis. She is the greatest mom anyone could ask for. She always puts her daughter(s) before anyone. Brooke is the most hard working mom, very kind hearted and so full of love. Our daughters eyes light up every time she walks into the room. Brooke is the most deserving mother! ReplyCancel
I would like to nominate Jessica Jones. She is one of the biggest kind-hearted moms I know. Truly one of a kind! And so deserving of this! My mind and heart were always at ease while my daughters were in her care. She’s been an amazing mom to her beautiful daughter Andi. And now is blessed with twins! We’re all so excited for her!ReplyCancel
Jessica Jones! Jessica is the most selfless, loyal, and loving mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend that I know. Jessica was born to be a mom and is such an amazing role model to her daughter Andi and to all of her girlfriends who are or aspire to be mothers someday. Jessica deserves this amazing gift as her family grows by two this summer and they welcome TWINS! These babies are so very blessed to have Jessica as their mom and winning this giveaway would mean the world to this amazing mama at such a special time in her life! XOXOReplyCancel
My vote goes to the beautiful Kerry McDougal! She is an amazing mama, wife, daughter , sister, auntie and the best friend anyone could ask for . Kerry is my sisters best friend and they are experiencing the beautiful journey of motherhood together (and may I say killing it!)! Kerry is the most loving person and is the mama to the most sweetest boy Macallan. This year the McDougal family is growing and they will be expecting a baby girl!! We are all so beyond excited and cannot wait to see Kerry welcome this little lady! This hardworking mama deserves this amazing session!! Love you KerryReplyCancel
I am voting for Jessica Jones!! She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I am absolutely sure every single mama that is nominated is so deserving of this incredible giveaway, but Jessica is at the top. She is so incredibly kind and selfless. Everything she does is for her daughter, family and friends. Being a mother is something she was born to do…which is why God has blessed her with TWINS this pregnancy!! Good luck Jessica. I love you!

I nominate my dear best friend Kerry McDougal. She has a sweet,silly 9 month old boy with the most adorable smile and contagious laugh, and expecting her second child, a little princess! Kerry is an amazing person,beautiful on the inside as well as the out. She and her husband Michael have taken on parenthood with such grace. They are so proud of their boy. I’m so excited to see them all together when their little girl arrives. They work so hard to give their child (soon to be children) a wonderful life and truly deserve this session, to make memories that will last a lifetime. Wishing on all the stars in the sky that Kerry will be chosen! ReplyCancel
I am voting for Jessica Jones. There are not enough words or space to list all the reasons why she is deserving. I have known her since college and still through all these years she remains dedicated and loyal to those that she loves. She a genuine, good hearted person where family means everything. Nothing melts my heart more than seeing my best friend transition to the wonderful mother she is. It’s no wonder she is bringing twins into this world, she truly is a blessing and these new lil ones are going to be so honored and lucky to be able to call Jessica Mom. She deserves this and so much more!!!!ReplyCancel
Jessica Jones! I could go on forever as to why she deserves this… she is already such an amazing mama of one, and soon to be a mom of 2 more! Twins!!!!! Jessica puts family and friends before anything in the world, and this would be something that would make her so happy!! She is really the best mom, and I know this would just mean the world to her and her growing family! Fingers and toes crossed for Jess!ReplyCancel
