Framed memories + LMP Giveaway Winner

From life's most cherished occasions to the everyday ordinary moments, my grandma has photos framed throughout every room in her white house. From table to table, you'll spy chunky baby cheeks from her grandbabies, regal graduation photos of my dad & Aunt Susan, class portraits, family gathered by the fireplace at Christmas, wedding photos that span 3 generations.

Isn't is lovely? The photo was taken at Grandpa Tye & Grandma Betty's wedding in 1952 in downtown Lynchburg. Although my grandpa has since passed away, Grandma still shares memories of their 57 years together daily & wears her wedding ring close to her heart, on a chain around her neck.

Their love for one another fills her house just as it appears in the stillness of their wedding photos. A handsome young man, raised in the country, taking the hand of a beautiful girl, who lived her life in the city. Together, they were two lovebirds in a nest, side by side, until the very end.

LMP Giveaway Winner!

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 :)
