The Kemp Family {Nashville Dog & Portrait Photographer}

On the blog this week is the Kemp family! Kayla and Eric run Winks and Whiskers, a local company that makes great apparel dog owners would love to wear. The best part? They donate 10% of every sale to a dog-focused charity!

I met up with these two and their adorable dog, Sadie, who is an 8-year-old mix of Rottie/Chow and who knows what else! We strolled around downtown Franklin, Tennessee -- which has the cutest little Main Street EVER and some of my favorite spots to photograph pets and their humans.

Sadie is the kind of dog that mirrors your activity level; when they hike, she hikes, and when they relax, she does too! Sadie also loves braided bones from Three Dog Bakery and is not a fan of drones -- she'll bark and chase after them every time!

Kayla and Eric adopted Sadie when she was 5 years old from a local shelter called Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center in Columbus, Ohio. They feel very lucky and blessed to be her parents, since a lot of events had to align for them to meet and adopt her when they did. 

Kayla also adds that she loves mutts because "they are beautiful and most are in need of our help." She hopes that through education and awareness, we can bring more mutts to forever homes. 

Want to see some of the fun pet parent apparel they make? Check out a recent session I did with Winks and Whiskers to show off their latest t-shirts! And if you love Sadie's adorable ombre pink leash, head on over to Harbor Hound's Etsy shop!

I hope you enjoy these adorable pictures from our pets and their people session!

Bree & Andi {Nashville Pet & Family Photographer}

I have a truly unique session on the blog for you all this week: one that highlights two members of the McConnell family!

This pet and family session at the Governor's Club included Angie, Mike, and their two girls, Carson and Andi. But my favorite part was meeting Andi's little bearded dragon lizard named Bree.

Andi says Bree is sassy and feisty, but loving. She also likes to eat dandelions, kale and crickets -- although grapes are her favorite treat!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this out-of-the-ordinary pet and family session!

Valerie & John {Nashville Elopement Photographer}

This week I'm beyond excited to share with you a recent elopement I photographed at Holy Family Church in Brentwood, Tennessee!

Valerie and John had a small elopement with their parents and Valerie's brother there to witness this special moment. I loved that this ceremony was very intimate and personal, really focusing on the couple and their love for one another. 

Although it was a rainy day, we made the best of it! The weather let up for a few minutes -- just long enough for us to get a few outdoor photos!

Valerie and John are a super sweet couple and I wish them all the love and happiness the world can offer!

Congratulations you two!
