Although I actually gave up eating or drinking anything sugary this month (almost to the end!!), I SO wanted to bake a cheery cake, slather some Nutella on top & party as Lorin Marie Photography celebrated 1 year of business!

This past week, I announced a portrait session giveaway as part of #lmpturns1 that I'd be sharing with one awesome NoVA/DC couple!! And, insert a big, long drum roll here .... we have a winner! Well, 2 winners technically (because they're a couple :) ).

Congratulations to LMP's portrait session giveaway winner(s): Bonnie & her husband!

Here's what Bonnie shared on the blog about one of the greatest acts of service her hubby has done for her:

My husband has been taking great care of me throughout my first pregnancy - taking over chores and going above and beyond, without a peep of complaining! Our second anniversary is coming up, and I would love to capture our new family with a portrait session!

Awww, isn't that so sweet?! Bonnie, it's awesome to hear about what a help your husband has been in your life recently!! I will be contacting you shortly so we can schedule your upcoming portrait session! Congrats again :)

Break out the noisemakers & put on your party hat because we have a birthday to celebrate!

Lorin Marie Photography is turning 1!!!

It's incredible to think that just last spring I put my what if's into action & began pursuing this dream. I've been so blessed by the Lord's constant faithfulness, my hubby's ridiculously awesome support & the love & encouragement from all my family, friends, clients & you!

To celebrate this milestone & these past 12 months of business, I'm giving away one portrait session for a couple!

The winner will receive a 2-hour photo session that will take place in Northern Virginia (within 25 miles of Falls Church, VA) & must be scheduled within 2014. High-resolution digital images is also included in the giveaway.
