Winter Mini-Sessions

January 21, 2010

We are offering a special mini-session package for the cold winter months.  This is a shorter session than normal since the weather is so unpredictable, but you will still have lots of pictures to choose from.  Sessions will be done outside, so wear your hats, scarves, and boots.  We will honor this special for any outdoor session between now and March 8th, 2010.  As always, you will receive photo editing, an online viewing gallery (with an ordering option), and a digital proof CD of all images.  Oh yeah…be the first to leave a comment below telling us why you want a session and you will win a free mini-session!  Good luck and keep watching for upcoming freebies!  Contact us to take advantage of this special:  info@yourexpressivemoments.com

BTW:  Congratulations to Tabitha!  She was the first to respond and has won a free mini-session.  Keep checking back for more specials!

We are so thankful for the opportunities given to us by on-air personality Gretchen of Star 102.1 in 2009.  We had a great time photographing Dancing with the Knoxville Stars,  Star 102.1’s Boomsday Event in the Sunsphere, and now Gretchen’s wedding planning contest!  Please go here and help Gretchen pick a wedding cake for her wedding by voting for your favorite one.  These beautiful cakes were made by Rosa’s Catering in Knoxville, Tennessee.

It’s a Girl!

January 10, 2010

I have taken lots of newborn pictures lately and almost all of them were boys, with the exception of my baby girl.  Since September, I have taken pictures of six new boys and now finally another little girl.  I don’t know how I managed to have a girl in the middle of the boy baby boom.  Yesterday I was able to take pictures for another beautiful baby girl!  She was only 10 days old and such a doll!  She also has a cute brother and sister.  They seem like they will be great to have around!  I look forward to watching her grow throughout the year and taking more pictures for them at 3, 6,  and 12 months.  Congratulations!
