Amy & Faulkner {Nashville Pet Photographer}

On the blog this week is a fun pet portrait session with a couple familiar faces: Amy and Faulkner! I've worked with them several times before -- you can even check out their fall mini session from a couple of years ago here

Faulkner got his name from Amy's favorite author: William Faulkner.  He loves tennis balls more than anything, playing with them all over the house, in the yard, and will even sleep with them nearby. 

Faulkner is a rescue from Southeast German Shorthair Pointer (SEGSP) Rescue. Amy met his foster parents in Montgomery in April of 2012 to pick him up, and although they live in Mobile, they've kept in touch ever since.

Amy says her favorite thing about him is his zest for life: "It's infectious! The way his face lights up when he sees a ball would make anyone smile." She loves how sweet, yet regal he can be -- when he lies in her lap she just melts! Although the breed has a lot of energy, Amy's totally okay with that because so does she! :)

Here are a few of my favorites!

The Fair Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I met the Fair family recently for a fun portrait session with their pups! Meet Deb, Rob, their son Ian, Deb's mom Ayako, and their three rescue dogs: Bonnie Hunt, Lily James and Chloe Stella McCartney!

I loved how Deb came up with some cute celebrity names since she grew up in Los Angeles, and the dogs themselves were super sweet. All three are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, each one with their own unique personality. Deb and Rob first fell in love with the breed's gentle, sweet nature and big puppy dog eyes on a family reunion trip on the coast of Washington. One of their relatives had one and they were instantly smitten!

Bonnie is 14 and was adopted from Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue. She is a total Daddy's girl -- absolutely adores Rob! She also prances and dances when she knows there is a meal to be had, and can be a bit of a food diva. 

Lily and Chloe were both adopted from The Cavalier Rescue. Lily is 6 years old and is the hunter of the family, always gifting everyone with surprises. She'll even run alongside Deb for short distances! And Chloe is only 2 years old, but a total spitfire when guarding the house (think: mighty but tiny with a large attitude!). And although she's the smallest of the three, her snore is "like that of a 100-pound dog" according to Deb!

And not only does Deb have a love for her own furry family members at home, but she's a big part of the PEDIGREE Foundation, a non-profit that supports shelters and rescues with grant funding to get more dogs adopted. She says she's really proud of the work she does to raise awareness of dog adoptions through their grants program! 

Enjoy my favorite previews from their family session!

Risha, Michael, Kathy, Giggles & Gunther! {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog this week is another cute family and pet portrait session that's been hiding in the archives! Meet Risha, her son Michael, and her mom Kathy at their home in Brentwood, TN last spring!

I took some headshots for Risha, and since Michael was about to graduate high school around this time, we also had a fun family portrait session. It was also around Mother's Day weekend, so it was all about the mommas!

And, of course, we had to include the pups: Giggles and Gunther! Giggles is a super sweet 9-year-old miniature red dachshund, and Gunther is a 6-year-old black and tan rescued mix.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session below!
