A gathering place for moms in Upstate South Carolina

Why does your family deserve a FREE family photo session?

SpartanburgMoms.com is excited to team up with Meaningful Moments Photography to offer three of you a FREE photo session!

It's easy to enter: tell us why YOUR family deserves a free session! Does your last family portrait include only your first-born instead of all five of your kids? Did the 9 month old little darling have a breakdown and look like she's mad at the world? Tell us about your family and why you deserve a session - it's that simple! We'd love to see your photos, too.

Our panel of judges will select a grand prize winner that will receive a free Family Photo Shoot Package that includes a one-hour session (on location), 200 photos (raw and edited) plus a CD with copyright release.

Two runners-up will each receive a free Kiddos Photo Shoot Package, including a 30 minute session on location (good for babies and children only), 75 photos (raw and edited) plus a CD with copyright release.

Check out the Meaningful Moments website to see some of Kaylee's work:

Greetings! We are the Rochelle family, and we love free! Actually, we work really hard as a family to live within our means, which is not always easy in a single-income household. My husband works outside the home to support our family, which makes it possible for me to stay at home with our daughter.

I am diligent (and creative) when it comes to bargain-hunting, and I try to save money everywhere I can. I use local couponing sites for our shopping needs and often save a lot of money on everyday items. I make our own laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, hang clothes outside to save on electricity, and have even found an alternative to buying dryer sheets. Recently I was able to make a deal with a local farmer that allowed me to have access to compost manure for our garden at no cost, as long as I did the shoveling. What a deal! It's little things like this that add up to a lot of savings for our family. With some research, time, and planning a little can go a long way.

When I saw the offer for a free photo session for our family, it immediately caught my eye. A professional photo session is a luxury for us and is not something we can include in our budget right now. The last time a snapshot was taken of the three of us as a family was when my daughter was only a few weeks old! She has grown by leaps and bounds since then, and we would truly appreciate the opportunity to have a photo taken of all of us. We thank you in advance for your consideration!

We are so excited to see that baby AJ was selected for a photo session! This is a huge treat for us. She turns one this month. It will be so nice to add some professional photos to her memory book!

THANKS!!
