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!

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!

Barney & Mick - East C.A.N. Adoptables {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I promised a lot of dogs on the blog this week and that is exactly what you are going to get! Up on today's blog are two sweet, big boys - Barney & Mick! First up is sweet, happy, energetic Barney. He currently lives in a foster home with 8 other animals. Yep, you read that right. So, Barney is very animal friendly. He had some super sweet playtime with a very little puppy while I was there photographing him. Barney is about 1 year old and really loves to play. 

He's just a lovable goofball!  He has been neutered and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. Barney wants nothing more than to be near his leader and will wait patiently for instruction once he knows what’s being asked of him.  Trying to play fetch with him is hysterical.  He will chase the ball…but only for a second before he runs straight back to his person with those eyes begging for acceptance and love.  There really is something special about this boy, and we can’t wait to see him flourish in a home that gives him the life he deserves.  He will be an amazing companion!

Next up is Mick. He is a gorgeous big boy with the softest fur ever. Seriously, it feels like velvet. And those ears!! A very handsome boy for sure. Mick came into East C.A.N. when a member saw him get hit by a car.  He managed to survive the accident without any major injuries!  Simply put, this boy is amazing.  He’s bounced back from his accident so well and he’s a sweet guy who wants nothing more than to hang out with you and get a belly rub or an ear scratch.  

He’s a big strong guy, so he would likely do best with older children, but he’s also a gentle enough soul that he should be fine with younger children with proper supervision.  He’s smart, very eager to please, and very responsive when you tell him what he’s supposed to do.  He also LOVES treats, which helps so much with training.  He’s crate trained and is learning his leash manners.  Mick weighs about 65 pounds, he’s fully vetted, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped. 

If you’re interested in offering Barney or Mick a forever home, please contact info@eastcan.org. Learn more about the adoption process at East C.A.N.'s website - while you're there check out all the sweet adoptables (more pics coming to the website soon!)

MEET BARNEY!

AND MICK :)
