Anna Kate: Television Superstar | Knoxville Birth Photographer

Memories — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:20:03 +0000

We were so excited/nervous when Hillary Lake from Channel 10 News contacted us a couple of weeks ago about coming to the studio to do a story on our newest photography service, Birth Days by Memories! We were featured on the 11:00 news on Saturday the 18th and again on Sunday. As a part of the story, my very first birth mommy came in to be interviewed along with her beautiful daughter, Anna Kate. We are so thankful to Liz for her glowing testimonial interview, and so grateful to her for skipping out on the Florida game to come to the studio to participate. Miss Anna Kate has grown so much, and we were so, so, so glad to have them back into the studio again!!

One Amazing Night | Knoxville Birth Photographer

We have been looking forward to Candace’s birth for quite sometime now. She contacted us just after we posted the birth of Heather’s sister, and I was so thrilled to photograph her birth at Lisa Ross Birth Center. Candace showed incredible strength and courage during her labor and delivery of Kayla MacKenzie, and it was so amazing to witness her coming into this world. Her water birth was nothing short of amazing, and I have to admit that the moment took me off guard and had me sobbing for a minute! Her husband, Eric, was such a good support partner… truly a beautiful night!!

The Birth of Anna Kate | Knoxville Birth Photographer

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”.

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!
