The Fassett Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I love seeing familiar faces, but one thing I probably love even more is seeing new furry family members! I've photographed the Fassett family before they adopted their dog, and this time I had the opportunity to spend some time photographing their two kids and new pup, Chewy, at their home in Brentwood!

Chewy is only one year old and named after Chewbacca from Star Wars, since he just happened to look like him. He's a havanese and doesn't shed, which is great because his new mom, Courtney, has allergies. He's a big fan of belly rubs and snuggles, and loves to follow Courtney around everywhere (like her little shadow!). Chewy is also super lovable, and hides bones around the house -- and even acts all surprised when he goes looking for it the next day! So cute.

You can see Chewy in the pictures below with Miller (8) and Collins (6). Miller loves Minecraft, Star Wars, Nerf Battles, swimming, being with his buddies, biking and reading. Collins also loves Minecraft, American Girl, loves playing school and being with friends.

Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this family photo session!

Agape Animal Rescue Holiday Event {Nashville Dog Photographer}

The holidays aren't just for celebrating with your relatives, they're for spending time with your furry family members, too!

On December 2nd, I'll be teaming up with Agape Animal Rescue for a charity event where you'll get the chance to take holiday photos with your pet(s)! You can bring your pooch to the event at My Second Home Pet Resort between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. that day, and take pictures with your pet in your ugly holiday sweaters!

There is a $20 minimum donation to participate, which is benefiting Agape Animal Rescue to help animals find loving families and forever homes -- and one high-resolution digital image is included! We'll also be running a special where you can get 25 5x7 flat holiday cards for only $40 (normally $60). And any other purchases from the event will be available for a 10% discount.

These preview images were a fun little test run with Miller (the bigger dog) and Ally, and Wallace (the cute little pooch) and Tanya!

Hope to see you at the event!

George the Irish Setter Puppy! {Nashville Pet Photographer}

I always love working with the Whitmore family. Courtney, George's new mom, is the lovely and talented Pizzazzeri - you should check out her blog which is always filled with great entertainment ideas.  The Whitmores recently (and I mean two days before this session) got a new Irish Setter puppy, George. This guy is SO cute.  

And couple his cuteness with his adorable new human sister Blakely and really, it's too much. Blakely and George aren't so sure about each other just yet, but I have a feeling they are going to be best buds - she was highly entertained by his antics during the session. Thanks for looking!
