    I would like to nominate Jessica Lawlor -due date April 4th. Jessica worked at the daycare my children attended. She has always had this amazing warmth to her whereby children gravitate to her.  She was always kind, caring, thoughtful and reliable, fun and funny!!  My daughter Natalie never wanted to go home when I picked her up. She wanted more time with Miss Jessica when she 2. She was the only teacher my daughter responded to like this. To this day my children still think of her and light up when they see her. She is a special person who is so deserving of this opportunity. 
    She will be an amazing mother!! 
    We are sure if it!!

The love and respect they have for each other is just inspiring. Being a mother it is a pleasure for me to watch them go through life together with a smile on their faces and always holding hands. First dating, then engagement followed by a beautiful wedding and now having a baby. They are also giving me one of the most beautiful gifts one can ever receive my first grandchild- baby boy Jakob.

    Jessica Consolini Lawlor and Justin Lawlor are expecting a girl! On April 4th, Charlotte Noelle will be welcomed into the world with smiles, tears, and parents that truly love her. While I haven’t seen Jessica act as a mother, I know her character to be patient. I’ve watched her deal calmly with people that others blew up at, and blew off. I know her character to be loving. I’ve seen her time and time again set herself aside to work with and minister to people that she loves. I know her character to be diligent.  While holding a normal job she went to school and excelled! I know her character to be compassionate. I’ve seen her, even amidst a busy schedule stop and talk to people having a rough day.

Don’t worry I checked with her first before I could post on social media 🙂 Her first baby girl is such a handful but Ola manages her so well.

    I am nominating Kennth Blackmer, his wife Ola Blackmer and baby #2 due in July. I was Kenny’s bus driver when he was in elementary school. Although I might sound old he is only 29 🙂 He was always such an adventurous young boy, never stopped moving. I got the pleasure of meeting their daughter Izabela, and I have to say she is totally a mini version of Kenny. I had met Ola on their wedding day and she was radiating in beauty. She went out of her way to make her guests feel welcome, connecting with everyone. They have done so much for each other, their daughter, friends and family. This gift would be a blessing. ReplyCancel

  • Anne NghiemJanuary 20, 2017 - 2:18 pm

    I am nominating my friend Kamila Sadowski, whose due date is January 26, 2017.  I have known Kamila since 2013.  Our relationship began with her being a babysitter to my three daughters.  Within that first year of knowing her, Kamila has shown us what an amazing caregiver and person that she is.  My children warmed up to her immediately.  She is engaging, affectionate, genuine, honest, caring, intelligent, and so extremely hardworking.  After completing her studies, Kamila began working full time during the week, and still managed to continue to help us on weekends and on occasional weeknights with our girls.  The care and love that she gave to our family was and is unforgettable.  We quickly became friends.  In 2015, Kamila married an equally wonderful man, whose personality complements Kamila’s in every way.  They are a loving and generous couple.  At times, when we had to be away from home and our own immediate family refused our requests for help, this amazing couple cared for our canine son, even when Copper’s health was failing and he could not control his bodily functions.  Caring for Copper was nearly like caring for a newborn, i.e., sleepless nights to take him outside to do his duty multiple times a night.  My husband and I will forever be grateful to them for that sacrifice they made to give Copper comfort.  We have tremendous respect for Kamila, and consider her a role model for our young daughters.  She has shown strong work ethic, demonstrated good morals, is beautiful, and has a great outlook on life.  Kamila is very patient, giving and nurturing.  She will be a wonderful mother when that day comes.  I truly hope she wins the opportunity to chronicle the beginning of her motherhood with your artistic photography. ReplyCancel

    I vote for Stephanie Underwood. She has had many challenges throughout the course of her second pregnancy but she has never lost faith or her smile.  Even with many hospital visits, bedrest and sick days, she has managed to continue being a wonderful mother to her sweet two year old daughter and has remained a good friend. She is more than deserving of some beautiful photos to mark the end of a tough journey and the start of a wonderful new beginning for her and her family. Due February 9thReplyCancel

  • Randi S.January 20, 2017 - 1:14 pm

    My vote is for Jessica (Consolini) Lawlor. Her daughter is due April 4th of 2017, and I would be thrilled to see little Lawlor photographed by such a talented photographer. Jessica is, in my estimation, most deserving of this giveaway. She has been a tirelessm uncomplaining mother-to-be, nanny and future nurse! She has a generous spirit and her kindness is felt in every encounter; I admire her indefatigable energy while she tackles a very challenging spring. Like many modern mothers, life will call her back to task before she is able to settle into motherhood and enjoy her daughter’s first months properly.  I can think of no better way to preserve these missed moments than with time captured in photograph. ReplyCancel

Him and his wife are so caring and were always there for me and my family in times of need.

  • Neil BerminghamJanuary 20, 2017 - 10:20 am

    My wife Kate is expected to deliver the last week of March 2017. This date was pushed up from the original date of May 2nd due to a condition called Vasa Previa which is equivalent to a ticking time bomb for a fetus. This will be our second child and our first pregnancy was a breeze. I am sure you can imagine my wife’s disappointment when we received this news. The hardest part for my wife is dealing with the news that due to her Multiple Sclerosis she will have to be fully sedated during her c section and will not get to meet our new child until she wakes up and the child is all set up in the NICU. My wife is the most amazing mother to our soon to be two year old, is an amazing wife and a dedicated and loving second grade teacher. She is so selfless and giving and continually maintains her students and family in the center of her world even while battling MS. I want to win this so that my wife can look back at the beautiful photos of our newborn and think of how blessed and lucky we are instead of thinking about the bumpy road, uncertainty, and struggles we faced before our baby made an appearance in this world. ReplyCancel

    I nominate my dear friend Vanessa McFadden who is due March 8th. I have known Vanessa for many years and am happy to say I have had the privilege of also working along side her through these years. She is an extremely hard working woman always putting those around her first. Working long days and nights with no complaints, only to make everyone else feel better about themselves. Unfortunately she has had to overcome many hardships throughout her life but has always managed to keep her head up high and most importantly her family afloat.  After many miscarriages she was blessed with her very own rainbow baby a son, who now is soon to be 3! Being blessed once again with her soon to be baby girl making her family complete. These photos would be the ultimate gift to remember these tiny but most precious moments of her family for this well deserved mama. Thank you for your consideration.ReplyCancel

    Hi Saren! How are you hunny?
    Ok I am nominating my sweet friend Dorie Seger, she is due March 24, 2017!
    This is her third baby, a sweet boy! She has two little girls and is also a stepmom to her boyfriends two kids, son and daughter. Dorie is selfless and takes such good care of her kiddos! She is such a hard worker , she’s been a single Mom since her older daughter was born…until she met John. They are an amazing couple and had their sweet little girl and now expecting a son! Dorie is such an advocate for wellness and healthy eating/ excercise! You should see her working out 7 months preg, she’s so strong and determined and beautiful!  
    Last month when my sister in law, who is a single mom- was giving birth, I was at the hospital w her, Dorie messaged me and I told her what was going on Dorie organized a ton of donations for my sister in law that had nothing, my entire mini van was filled w baby supplies! Dorie told me she knew what it was like to be a single mom w nothing, I too was in that same position. So Dorie blew us away w love and support. With a huge heart and smile, her and her boyfriend don’t have a ton of extra stuff but she gave some of her own baby stuff away being preg herself to help out.  Her Boyfriend John just finished nursing school, she has been there to support and love him through out his journey!
    Dorie lost her sister a year ago, heartbreaking. I know she takes her sisters kids too sometimes and they have sleepovers, she is a fun and loving Aunty to her niece and nephew that will never see their Mama again.
    Dorie is a grounded, down to earth, spiritual, motivated, selfless, loving, compassionate, and doesn’t take one second of life for granted! 
    She’s not a fancy Avon Mom… But I love her so much and she has been through allot, esp w her sister passing and always hanging on and getting through being a single Mama. What a blessing this would be for her and John, for her to feel special and loved. 
    Thank you Saren for considering Dorie! ReplyCancel

    My granddaughter Ola Blackmer gets my vote. Ola is expecting her second baby in July. She is a gentle, kind-hearted, and warm mom to my great-granddaughter, Izabela. Ola works so hard at work, working long hours treating many patients everyday followed by the long trail of paperwork that she has to complete before the day is over. She then comes home and devotes every second to her husband and daughter. Her energy drives her to be the wonderful mother that she is today. Our family would be blessed if she could share professional pictures of my great-granddaughter/son with us. ReplyCancel

Kami has worked as an au pair and is now a dental assistant but still continues to visit and spend time with the children she took care of as her own, she is a very kind hearted, generous person and will be a wonderful mother!! Kami’s mother and siblings are in Europe and will not be here when Kami and Rafal welcome their son into the world, Kami and her husband are very deserving of this photo session, it would bring  absolute joy to them to be able to share these beautiful photos taken by Saren Cassotto Photography!!!!!ReplyCancel

    I am voting for my nephew Kenny and Ola Blackmer. I have seen my nephew grow up from a little boy playing with fire trucks and ambulances into a young man who quickly matured and became a role model to his peers. He joined the Air Force and served his country for six years and would have continued if he had not hurt his back. He could not have found a better match than Ola. They have similar personalities, goal driven, determined, passionate,  and inspiring. They both have similar likes (the medical field, country music, etc.) and dislikes. I think they are succeeding as parents, giving their daughter everything they can. I am beyond excited for them and their new addition coming in July! ReplyCancel

    I would like to nominate my loving wife, Kamila Sadowski,
    for your beautiful newborn session. Ever since we found out that she was
    pregnant (39 weeks ago, and counting), she has been talking about having a
    newborn session for our son. I hope that I can convince someone that Kami is
    the person that deserves this session the most. I have never met anyone that is
    so passionate about life and striving to be the best person possible. Kami is
    very family oriented and I am convinced that she will be the best mom in the
    world. In fact, the house is already turning into Jakub’s castle. There are
    jumpers, strollers, scrapbooks waiting to be filled up all around the house. It
    would be great to add a newborn session to our photo albums.  

    PS: I am so lucky to have Kami as my wife and the mother of
    my future son.

    Best regards,

    Rafal

  • DidemJanuary 19, 2017 - 12:17 pm

    I nominate my friend Kamila Sadowski, who is due the 26th of January.
    Kamila and I met as Au pairs almost 6 years ago. The fact that she decided to be an au pair, shows how much she loves kids. She still cares about her hostchildern and loves them as they were her own. How much she loves kids,as all others here do, doesnt need to be discussed, That is self evident (for her), for she decided to found a family and give a little Sadowski place in his new home and in her heart. 
    One thing about Kamila, that makes her unique is that she is passionate with everything and always gives her best. If she does something she does it 100 percent. Kamila met her husband in America and as passionate she is ( she is always all in, especially with her heart) she chose to leave her family and friends behind in Poland and moved to the love of her life Rafal Sadowski, who  became a good friend of mine too. I am so proud of her how she manages everything there and never loses faith. She is the one who deserves a reward, a reward for her as a loving friend and loving mother.
    All the best for you from the bottom of my heart! ReplyCancel

She would come to every family gathering we had and I have always considered her family. She would always come with a smile and a big appetite. I am so proud of her. Not many people can say they have made their dreams come true, but she is one of them! She has worked so hard to become a physician assistant (her DREAM job). She has always wanted to be a mom and have a large family, and now with her second baby coming in July, she is on the right track. Her next goal is to buy a forever home and settle down, and with her determination she will do it. She truly deserves this!ReplyCancel

She is a fabulous mother to her son, she didn’t just accept the responsibility at a young age, she blossomed with it. Her and her husband are prime examples of parents.

She started babysitting when she was about 12 years old and adores children. I know giving birth to this beautiful baby girl will be the best day of my sisters life, because she has such a special bond with children and having one of her own..need less to say, that child will truly be blessed. Jessica also has a great appreciation for photography, especially since there is a 7 year age gap between us and I was her personal child model/doll, so we would have backyard photoshoots, (no joke-I can show you the pictures!) and I did’t always make it easy.

    I nominate my PA school buddy Ola Blackmer! I met Ola while we were going through PA school together, meeting through mutual friends. Ola is smart, caring, and serving. There were many nights where we spent writing up study guides, quizzing each other, and working on projects together. She always had a positive outlook on everything. At times, before certain exams she would give the class some words of encouragement before we all started. She wanted everyone in our class to succeed and she never thought only about herself. I thought she was crazy to have a baby during PA school, but I knew she was going to be able to handle it. On our last day, she brought her cute little Izabela and I instantly fell in love. I got to watch the interactions she had with her daughter and the strong bond they shared. I value our friendship. I cannot wait to meet baby number 2 coming in July! Congratulations again <3ReplyCancel

    I would like to nominate my beautiful daughter Kamila Sadowski that is due January 26th. She is my middle child that I used to call a trouble maker. Always full of life, ideas, seeking adventures, but also having this incredibly warm heart and willingness to help others. As a mother I could not be more proud of her. She travelled across the sea to find her other half and start a family on the other side of the globe. Even though I miss her so much I am extremely happy to see she has found the love of her life. She is married to a wonderful man, Rafal, and together they are not just a perfect match, but also great partners and team workers. They both work in health care profession and their dedication, caring for others and big heart can be seen wherever they go. Kami also attends school. I am astonished how they can work full time, attend college (while pregnant), start a family and stillI have time to take care of their relationship. I just cannot think of anyone more deserving than them. The distance between me and my daughter did not change anything, however I wish I could see her more often, stop by to have a cup of coffee or very soon just hold my grandson Jakob. This amazing photography session would be a wonderful gift not only for the new parents, but also for me, so I could see Jakob’s first days captured on paper! Whether she wins or not, I hope she sees my little note and she is surprised I made an effort to leave that comment since I do not speak English (I had a friend of mine translated this for me). I love you both or really three of you and I wish you good luck!ReplyCancel

We have been best friends since we were young and have only strengthened our friendship over the years. Emily is someone who always thinks of others, what she can do for them and how she can help. Becoming pregnant with her first child at a young age, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew her strength and character so I didn’t worry, I knew she would do her best. She did wonderfully 🙂 Emily and Jeremy have raised a compassionate, curious, loving little boy who is getting so big, I can’t believe it! With her second child due in April, I am so excited for her to add a little girl to the family. Baby Emmons and I almost share the same Birthday 🙂 Which makes me feel even more connected to Emily. Emily’s family has always made me feel as if I was part of their family, their love means the world to me. If Emily was gifted this Newborn Session I know she would be extremely grateful and appreciative. Thank you 🙂ReplyCancel

She is kind and compassionate and is so deserving of this session, as she has loved Saren’s work for some time now. She is always giving to others and to see her blessed with such a gift would really be wonderful! ReplyCancel

     I would like to nominate Jessica Consolini. She is due to give birth to her baby girl April 4, 2017.  Even though she has been a friend of the family for many many years I got to “meet” her  on a trip to the Dominican Republic that we took together serving underprivileged children and families. She is always willing to give up her time and effort’s to help others and I appreciate our friendship very much.ReplyCancel

    I want to nominate my cousin Kenny and his wife Ola Blackmer for this giveaway! Kenny is one of my closest cousins. His wife Ola is so dedicated to her family, friends and patients that she works with. They have decided to live around family and commute an hour to work each way, while working chaotic work schedules, all so they could stay connected with family. I think that is pretty amazing. They have always been there for me whenever I needed to borrow a car, babysitting, you name it. They are incredible for everything they do! ReplyCancel

    Greetings! My name is Kristen Hart, and I am so blessed to have the privilege of nominating my smart, capable, loving and beautiful daughter, Emily Emmons and I would like to add her husband, Jeremy (he’s the best son-in-law!).  First, I would like to say I was introduced to Saren Cassotto’s work through supporting last year’s winner (a mom and family so selfless and deserving!) and I could not have imagined any photographer capturing such expressive photographs – they were so beautifully done, reflecting the essence of what makes this family so precious. Her work is awesome and so is her give back to the community ethic, I enjoyed reading the blog posts and wish the best to all the amazing expectant mothers!
    My daughter Emily is expecting her second child (a girl!) on April 20th, and I simply can’t wait for her to arrive! My grandson, who is eight years old, is positively bubbling with enthusiasm over the prospect of becoming a big brother.  He will do very well, as he has learned to love, care and value people from his mom and dad.  Over the last five years, I have had serious health challenges.  As happens in life, I went from the person who does everything to the person who needs everything to be done for them.  I had to give up working, caring for my grandson while my daughter and her husband worked and pursued finishing their degrees, and all the other exhausting stuff I loved to do as a wife, mother and grandmother.  It was hard for me, I felt useless.  Harder still for my family I know, but they were equal to the challenge.  My precious daughter shouldered much of the changes; she cooks, and cleans, and shops and takes care of everyone.  She brings me to all my medical visits, and does all she can to make my life better.  Trips to Yale?  No problem.  Therapy three times a week?  Let’s go Mom, and then I’ll bring you to lunch. Another surgery?  Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything. Here Mom, I made you a super juice maybe it will help you feel better.  Special treatments in New Jersey?  Sure, she’ll drive me there twice a week, even though it’s summer and she should be making memories with her son, who isn’t thrilled about spending five hours in a car and two more in a boring hospital.  I can’t express how it felt as she patiently explained this is what we do for people we love; but more importantly, she is showing him.  And her husband?  Well don’t worry honey I’ll make supper, it’ll be ready when you get home, and sure I’ll do whatever chore it is you weren’t able to get to today. 
    I can tell you with certainty there is no better accomplishment in this life than seeing a child you raised become an amazing human being.  My daughter and her husband met in college, and became pregnant with my grandson in their sophomore year.  My husband and I were worried about their future; my daughter assured me Jeremy was a keeper.  We weren’t so sure at first, but knew we had done our best to raise a capable woman and made a conscious decision to trust her judgement.  She was right.  When my grandson was born, they were struggling just to make ends meet; a newborn photography session was an unobtainable dream.  How wonderful a gift it would be if Saren Cassotto captured the essence of this precious family.
    Kindest Regards, KristenReplyCancel

  • KristenJanuary 18, 2017 - 1:14 pm

    I want to nominate Vanessa McFadden as it is a blessing to her and her husband for them to be pregnant with their girl. They’ve struggled for years to have a pregnancy that didn’t end in miscarriages, and are beyond grateful to be parents to their second child.ReplyCancel

  • DawnJanuary 18, 2017 - 12:58 pm

    I would like to nominate Vanessa McFadden. She is due in early March with a baby girl.
    I’ve known Vanessa (V) since my first day of kindergarten, when we bonded over cowgirl boots in gym class. She was nice to the new girl in school who had just moved and had no friends yet.
    She is still that person. Sadly, she has had multiple miscarriages over the years but has recently been blessed with this wonderful pregnancy. She works as an aesthetician, so she spends her days taking care of everyone else. She doesn’t complain. She doesn’t ask anyone for anything. She is kind and generous through and through. She absolutely deserves to be pampered for once. I know she and her husband would be honored to commemoratethe birth of their precious girl with this photo shoot. 
    Thank you for considering her!!ReplyCancel

    I nominate VICTORIA CARMELLA. Though we have only met a couple of times her kindness and compassion shine through. I recently went through a difficult few years with my son who battled cancer and passed away and Vicky was always passing messages to our mutual friend Taryn and sending her love and support. It’s an amazing feeling to have people who you wouldn’t expect to champion for you to be there and Vicky has been that person to me. ReplyCancel

    I vote for my Polish-American friend Ola Blackmer. I have known Ola since were kids and we always spent summers together when she would come visit Poland.

    I want to nominate Ola Blackmer! I have known Ola since we both worked at Justice (Limited Too) back in high school. She was so bubbly and outgoing, greeting every customer that walked into the store to shop. She always sought out to help others. She is so much in love with her daughter Izabela and would do anything for her. She is always so patient with her, and all moms know that it can be hard at times. I cannot wait for her second baby to arrive in July! ReplyCancel

  • Kim DauphinJanuary 18, 2017 - 11:30 am

    I vote for Ola Blackmer! I had met Ola back when she was in college. She has worked so hard to get to where she is today, a beautiful woman. She is intelligent, sophisticated, and very personable. She has worked two jobs full time while being a full time student in college and now she is a full time PA supporting her family. She has worked so hard raising her 15 month old and I know she will continue to do so with her baby coming in July! She deserves nothing more than to get a chance to win 🙂 ReplyCancel

  • Estrella OrtizJanuary 18, 2017 - 11:24 am

    I would like to nominate my friend Ola Blackmer and her family. I have worked with Ola when we were both ER tech’s. She was a great person to work with because we worked well together as a team, taking care of our assigned patients. She was so passionate about the medical field and dedicated the majority of her time around patients. She is a phenomenal mother! She is expecting her second baby this July and it would be a perfect way to give back to her because she has always gone above and beyond for her patients. ReplyCancel

    Victoria Carmella!  4/14/17

    This woman is amazing. I met her as my pup’s vet and now she is a coworker (and still checks in on my dogs). Her “bed side manner” with my dogs and me, as the owner, made me realize how special she is. Her compassion is unparalleled and her genuine kindness is not often found. I can’t think of another person as deserving.  ReplyCancel

  • Karen BauerJanuary 18, 2017 - 10:07 am

    I vote for Victoria Carmella!  She is due 4/14/17 with her 2nd child. There are very few people in the world who you meet and instantly feel like you’ve known them forever. Vicki is one of those people. She reaches out and touches the hearts of everyone she comes in contact with. When I started to work in the same company with her, no matter how busy she was, she always managed to come over and ask how I was doing. She always remembers details about everything we talk about, which means she is really listening, not just going through the motions. There is no one who deserves this more!!!ReplyCancel

She is such a caring, selfless, hardworking, and loving person. She loves children and they cling to her. She and Rafal share a special love story that has persevered the struggles of living on two different sides of the Atlantic. Baby Jacob will be here in a short few days and will be the perfect addition to the most perfect lovebirds. This would be a wonderful gift for Kamila and Rafal to treasure for a lifetime as well as share with family in Poland. It’ll be an adventure like no other 🙂ReplyCancel

    I would like to nominate Andrea Staats. She has been one of my best friends since college and is adored by anyone who knows her. She is due with Twins in February. She is deserving for so many reasons, most of which she would never want me to share on social media. She does so much for her family, friends, coworkers and generally anyone she can help and more importantly she NEVER brings attention to her good deeds. Whether it supporting her husband’s police dept. or helping her brother Phillip who has some special needs, Drea always puts others first. Drea’s road to pregnancy with twins was a bit bumpy, but God knew what an amazing momma she is goning be and blessed her with not one, but two little bundles. She does not know what she is having (gender wise!) but whether or not I am blessed with 2 little nieces, 2 little nephews or one of each they are being brought into this world be an incredibly special lady!ReplyCancel

We always loved the medical field and that is why I ended up being an ER nurse and she became and ER PA. I remember the day when she posted that she was expecting her first baby and I had told her I was due with twins a month earlier! I am so excited for her in welcoming the celebration of her second baby coming in July!!!

I remember going to prom together, adventuring in NY, meeting her future husband (Kenny), and making lifelong memories. I remember her telling me about all the all-nighters she used to pull in college so that she could ace her exams so that she could excel. She is a great mom to her beautiful daughter, and I enjoy all the funny videos she posts on instagram. I think this would be a perfect opportunity for her family to be rewarded by your amazing talent (I scrolled through your portfolio). I hope she can be considered for a shot at one of your photoshoots for her next baby coming in July. ReplyCancel

Scrolling down this feed I recognize some of my coworkers, since we are such a tight community, that I can agree with what they wrote. Ola is such a smart individual and she was such a stronger partner to work with. She had such medical knowledge and she remained calm in any type of emergent situation. I loved working with her. Kenny was also a strong partner. I congratulate them on their second baby coming in July. They will be the greatest parents any child could ask for. ReplyCancel
