Knoxville TN Maternity Photographer| Rainey Family

I first met Juanita several years ago in Jefferson City. She was waitressing at her parents restaurant, El Sazon. While I love their gaucamole and habanero salsa, what I love most about their restaurant is Juanitas mom, Dolores! I’ll tell you a little more about her in a bit. Juanita and I were pregnant at the same time with our first babies. So, I instantly felt connected to her and loved hearing how things were going with her pregnancy. Isabel is just a few months older than Gabriel.

Just a few weeks after Gabriel was born, Jonathan and I ventured out for dinner. I soon discovered it was a BAD idea! As soon as we ordered our food, Gabriel started screaming as if he ate a bite of their hottest salsa! I was about to give Jonathan the “we have got to get out here NOW” look when Dolores came over and asked me to hold Gabriel. I thought she was a little crazy for offering, but I was really hungry and overwhelmed!:) Within a minute, she calmed Gabriel down… She snuggled him the ENTIRE time we ate dinner! Dinner with a sitter! It was amazing! Since then I’ve had extra love for this family.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Juanita called about doing a her maternity session. I was so excited to photograph her and her sweet family! Juanita is incredibly gorgeous and her daughter Isabel was a dream child for the shoot! Isabel and I had so much fun together! I’m sure she and Gabriel will make good friends! Juanita, Thanks for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family! Enjoy your photos and can’t wait to meet little guy!

Definitely a favorite! 

I had to add one from that day.
