The Moran Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Wow, it has been a while since I blogged here at Mandy Whitley Photography. Summer and fall came and went and now it’s a brand new year!

Now on to some sweet animal pics…I first worked with Josh and Laura Moran for their wedding ten years ago. You can see their wedding photos here: https://mandywhitleyphotography.com/blog/2014/01/laura-joshs-kentucky-farm-wedding-nashville-wedding-photographer?rq=moran. Their wedding was at a beautiful farm in Kentucky and today’s blog photos were taken at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park several years ago.

Their sweet Sunny passed away last spring. I know Josh and Laura are missing him so much!

Meet the pups: Ollie is an 11-year-old mixed breed that the Moran’s like to call “a KY black dog”. She got her name because she reminded Laura of a black olive. They also have a sheltie named Sunny. Sunny is nine years old and was named by her parents. Then there is Bruce, named after Bruce Wayne because of his bat ears, who is a mixed breed . The Moran’s label him as “a TN black dog”. Bruce is only one.

What is it that these three pups like doing with their time? Ollie loves her treats and chasing chipmunks in the backyard. Sunny also loves all the treats along with naps and being dried off with a towel. The two older dogs have to be careful because along came Bruce who loves the treats too! He loves playing fetch and getting those booty scratches as well.

But what do they dislike? Ollie dislikes thunderstorms and Sunny isn’t a big fan of the mailman. Bruce doesn’t not like the vacuum cleaner! Bruce doesn’t like people much and just prefers Josh and Laura.

When it comes to what the Moran couple loves so much about their fur babies, here is what they told me:
”Ollie is so snuggly and sweet.”
”Sunny gives the best kisses and loves to go between our legs for pets.”
”Bruce and his personality has started to really shine and he is just so silly and bouncy.”

I also asked them what they liked most about the breed each dog is, and they said, “Ollie and Bruce are mixed breeds, which makes them extra special!

The Moran’s rescued Ollie and Bruce. Ollie was a stray and Bruce was rescued from Bonaparte’s Retreat.

Allison and Maude {Nashville Dog Photographer}

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!!
