The Birth of Anna Kate | Knoxville Birth Photographer

Heather — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:28:29 +0000

Alright guys, here it is, my first experience photographing a birth… and I owe a huge thanks to Liz and Seth for letting me in on their amazing day! Liz is so beautiful and the entire family was so, so gracious, I could not have asked for more. All of this to say, as much as I’m talking about myself here, that is not what this day was about… this day was truly about just being there with my camera and this family during their most special day… documenting the first journey of sweet Anna Kate. It was a true miracle to witness this precious girl enter the world… amazing family, amazing girl! You guys are the best

And, thanks so much to everyone for the amazing response we have gotten for our birth photography services! We are excited to have more upcoming births within the next little bit… Hannah & Candace — you’re next girls!

oh, and the artists to these amazing songs are Innocence Mission “Wonderful World” and Matthew West “Safe and Sound”.

These two adorable eight year olds have been coming to Memories since they were just two. Both of them are so fun to work with and a natural in front of the camera, and mom always does a great job coordinating their clothes! Great session, great kids, great job!

Little Ashton was a pro for his first portrait session here at Memories. He has the most beautiful blue eyes and adorable expressions, he’s a natural. I love the images of Ashton with mom and dad… beautiful family!

These two adorable brothers are so much fun to photograph. It’s hard to believe this is little man Brady’s last session of his Baby’s First Year Program, my how time flies when you’re having this much fun. Great session!

We were happy to have little Miss Baya into the studio last week for her first session of her Baby’s First Year Program. She was honestly so sweet and easy going, she made my job very easy. And I have to say, thanks to Baya, that our favorite new color combo at the studio is green and purple. I adore these images!!

Little Rory Kathleen entered the world this morning via planned C-section, and is perfect and healthy weighing in at just over 7 pounds. Her momma is so beautiful and so kind, I was honored to capture this beautiful event for them. We can’t wait to have Miss Rory into the studio for her Squish Session soon… we have big plans for this one!

I feel so honored that this family has come back in for yet another Baby’s First Year Program. Little Christian is baby #5 for this fabulous family, and I was so thrilled when mom brought all 4 big brothers and big sisters in recently to help with smiles. It was wonderful to see how big and grown up they are all getting, and they all have such perfect manners. Mom is so amazing, she’s my hero!

This sweet girl was full of smiles for her second session of her Baby’s First Year Program. Big brother is very busy but so handsome and little sister just adores him… fun session!

Birthday Girl | Knoxville Photographer

Heather — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:15:15 +0000

As soon as my mother-in-law brought this old tricycle over to my house, I knew I would be using it for something special. It belonged to my husband when he was a toddler. Soooo, for Lexi’s third birthday session last week, I bought a dozen balloons and had Nancy go to town photographing Lexi with her daddy’s favorite old toy. This was, by far, the most fun session we’ve ever done with her! And before you ask, I bought her dress at Target (for $11 — what a steal!)… the top was plain though, and quite boring compared to the cute, cute bottom… so I hired one of our newest clients Julia of Elise Claire Designs to cutify the top (I’m pretty sure I just made that word up, LOL!)

The result of it all… pure L-O-V-E. Today is my girl’s third birthday, and I think we shall go play and enjoy THREE!

Introducing Anna Kate | Knoxville Birth Photographer

Michelle — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:27:27 +0000

Hey guys, this is Michelle here entering my first ever post on the Memories blog! Many of you know that I’ve been working at the studio for just over a year now, and I’m now taking a more active role behind the camera. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing the birth of beautiful Anna Kate. This has to be one the most amazing events in my life that I have ever witnessed! Liz was incredibly brave, and delivered little Anna so gracefully. Did I mention she looked great before, during, and after?! I have to thank her husband, Seth, and family for their great kindness… they just made this whole experience even better! Thank you so much Petree family for allowing me to be apart of this amazing day for you all, and congratulations on the birth of your lovely daughter. This was such a great experience and I look forward to photographing many, many more births in the future!
