The Osborn-Dudley Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog today is the Osborn-Dudley family! Meet Matt, Chandra, Elliott, Gwendolyn, and their sweet pup Toa in some of my favorite shots below. Photos were taken at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park during their fall mini session. They just adopted Toa during quarantine from East C.A.N. My very own pups came from East C.A.N., so I definitely have special love for them.

The Osborn-Dudley’s are friends of mine, which always makes sessions so much fun! I had the honor of photographing Elliott’s birth in 2012 - an amazing experience! Elliott, who is now 8 (where does the time go?), is into star wars, Zelda and baseball. His little sister, Gwendolyn, is 5 and is into logic puzzles, reading and Dog Man. I feel compelled to mention that the freckles on these cute kids are so great!

And last but not least, Toa, their beautiful pup. He was badly abused before being rescued and adopted. Chandra named him the Samoan name “Toa” which means “Brave Warrior”. Completely fitting.

Enjoy the photos!

East C.A.N. Adoptable Dogs {Nashville Pet Photographer}

I am so excited to introduce you to some amazing pups who are looking for forever homes through East C.A.N. I had so much fun photographing this group of amazing dogs, all of whom are super sweet and filled with personality!

Please contact me or East C.A.N. directly if you are interested in meeting one of these sweet pups! Some of them are very new, so they might not be on their website yet, but you can absolutely still email (info@eastcan.org) about them. There are a few pups in the blog that are adoption pending on the website, but if you like them please go ahead and email East C.A.N. as it's always great to have more interest!

Also, please consider sharing this blog and the images to help get these pups adopted!

Stay tuned for another post this week of  more awesome adoptable dogs  :)

Thanks for looking!

To kick things off, I would love to introduce you to Hunter! He's a super sweet 2 year old lab mix who loves walks, people and other dogs. He also really loves car rides! He has great indoor manners and is leash and crate trained. *as I posted the blog I got word that Hunter is adoption pending - yay!

Leroy was left behind (along with Etta & Coltrain) when his owners moved. He is 1 year old shepard mix and is house, leash and crate trained. He is a happy, healthy boy who never meets a stranger! Just look at that face!!

Junebug is a sweet girl who is pending adoption right now!! So excited for her :)

Coltrain is Leroy & Etta's yard mate. He's a 1 year old, 45 pound cuddle bug who is house, crate and leash trained!. He's great with kids, dogs AND cats too!  He'd love an active home where he can spend his day playing and going for walks, and then cuddling up on the couch with you to watch a movie :)

Sweet Teddy is pending adoption too! We're so excited for him :)

And last but certainly not least, Etta! This sweet girl has a special place in my heart. She is actually my favorite (but don't tell the others!). Etta modeled as the feature dog in a styled shoot I photographed earlier this summer and she rocked it! Etta is also adoption pending, and whoever gets this sweet girl is just plain LUCKY.

More East C.A.N. Adoptable Pups! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Last week I shared four sweet pups who are looking for their forever homes through East C.A.N. and this week I have four more for you! If you'd like to meet any of these great dogs please contact East C.A.N. through the link above! Let's cut to the cuteness - don't you think? :)

First is Griswold. He is a happy, medium sized lab mix and very funny. His favorite activity? Trying to catch bubbles!

Meet Sunny - she is new to the East C.A.N. fold! She loved being outside with us and really loves her new foster mom (even though she'd only been with her a few days)!

And let's talk about little Oliver! He's about 6 months old now. We actually had his brother, Blue, for a weekend while his foster was out of town and they look just alike! Both pups are still looking for forever homes.

Last, but certainly not least, is Babe. Babe is an older gal & is mostly boxer.  She is currently in a foster home with a lady who pet sits - so she's been around lots of other dogs. Babe was just awesome during her session, mostly following me around for her photos, and just wants a place to call her own!
