Allison and Maude {Nashville Dog Photographer}

October 31, 2023 Heather Nelms

Boo! Happy Halloween everyone! I have some perfect photos to share for this occasion since Allison decided to do a session with Halloween costumes! How fun and adorable are these minions?!

Meet Allison and Maude, her 10-year-old English Sheepdog. Why Maude? Well, Allison just loves older generation human names for dogs. Maude may look big and tough, but she really is just a sweetie. The best part about her is her goofy personality, and that she tolerates Allison dressing her up for the holidays. Maude loves her treats, playing tug and going on car rides.

The photos here are from two different sessions, almost exactly a year apart. The Halloween minion session was from this year in October in their neighborhood and the photos with their regular outfits are from last fall at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park. Hope you love them!

The Copeland Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I am so excited to share photos from TWO sessions with the Copeland couple and their pup! The first session was in November of last year at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park. The second session was just last week at Percy Warner Park. We went to the beautiful stone steps there, also known as the Majestic Allée Steps.

Meet Caitlin, Jason and Cash. At the first session, Cash was just a 14 month old Frenchie pup! (Though in human years, he was considered a teenager!). Cash was named after none other than Johnny Cash because of his legacy in Nashville, and Nashville is where Caitlin and Jason fell in love and made their home.

Cash loves his cuddles and hates being alone. The Copeland’s love that his personality is so cute and quirky, something they love so much about the breed. Along with all the Frenchie quirks, Caitlin and Jason love that they are a loving and loyal breed.

The last three pictures are of the second session, where you will see that this beautiful couple has an announcement! Within the photo is a photo of their baby girl! Caitlin is 15 weeks pregnant at the time of their second session - congratulations!!

Melissa, Mike and Miles {Nashville Dog Photography}

Whew…it has been a little while since I’ve shared a new blog, and I have missed sharing photos with you all! Unfortunately my facebook account was hacked and I couldn’t access my business page there, which I normally post all my blogs to. But, I am back (after starting a brand new business page) and ready to show you these very special photos of Melissa, Mike and Miles.

This is a celebration of the life of sweet Miles, who crossed the rainbow bridge last week. Miles is a Lab mix and was 12.5 years old in these photos. On his very first drive home with Melissa he got car sick and Melissa said, “Wow! He has been sick three times in five miles…MILES! That’s his name!” And so it was.

Miles loved cheese, belly rubs and always loved finding a dirty tennis ball. Melissa and Mike loved his kind eyes and sweet soul. Melissa adopted him from a friend who had an unplanned litter on her hands and she couldn’t be happier that she did!

“He’s a gentle giant. I love him so much.”
