About San Diego City Moms

Hi San Diego City Moms!

My name is Ursula Koenig, Organizer, Oct. '09, and I am a first time mom hoping to meet other moms, here in San Diego. I am taking a break from my career as Interior Designer to raise my son, Wolfie. I've been with this group for a while and I thought I'd step up and organize to keep the group's momentum going. My son is 18 months (4/25/08) and before he gets enrolled in organized classes of some sort, I think that meeting up with other kids & toddlers just to play would be the perfect thing!

We love to do things outdoors most of the time and being a native San Diegan, my list of places we regularly go to including my "wish list" is pretty long! I welcome the company! I also welcome assistant organizers, ideas, events, tips and any other suggestions any of you have - please send or post to me/the group. And, there are no rules, just try your best to show up - hopefully there is something for many toddler/family schedules - and have fun! Cheers, Ursula

Below is the Bio on Melissa Perkins, who founded the group and what her background is:

My name is Melissa Perkins photographer extraordinaire and owner of Just Hatched Photography. First off, let me start be saying that I am thrilled at the opportunity to sponsor San Diego City Moms and I look forward to sharing in your Meetup groups.

As the name Just Hatched implies, I specialize in maternity, newborn and infant photography. However, as you can see in the galleries on my website, I LOVE photographing children of all ages. I guess you could say that while photography is my passion, children are the reason I get out of bed every morning and can’t wait to get to work. Over the past decade, I have mastered the art of making goofy faces, singing silly ditties and basically doing just about any crazy thing to capture the laugh and smile of a child.

When I found San Diego City Mom’s, I knew it would be a perfect partnership! It would allow me the opportunity to meet tons of new moms and their little ones… and my Petite Portrait Sessions (starting at just $195) would allow local moms to take advantage of high-quality, custom portraiture at an affordable price. To see when the next Petite Portrait Session is being held, please visit my website at www.just-hatched.com. You also can schedule a Private Petite Portrait Session for your play group (great for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Easter or just for fun) by contacting me at 619-946-7420. The mom who takes charge and organizes the group will receive 10% off her entire order! Private sessions must have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 children.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to support and share in your meeting groups! I look forward to hearing from you!
