The Ervin Family {Nashville Pet Photography}

This week on the blog is the lovely Ervin family. You may have seen them on the blog in 2019 when we did a winter mini photo session at my house - it was so much fun!

For the session below, The Ervin Family (Brent, Stephanie, Elaina, and Livvy) met me for a mini at Ellington Agriculture Center in Fall 2020.

Livvy is their precious five year old cavapoo (a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a poodle). She was named after the characters on Elaina’s favorite television show “Liv & Maddie”. She combined the names and came up with Livvy.

Livvy is four years old and described as “the cutest thing ever”, loving and sweet. (The cute dog photos below would prove this as correct!) The cavapoo breed is known to be very affectionate and calm dogs that also like to play. Livvy definitely fits this description because along with all her snuggles, she has been known to have the cutest bursts of energy that are so fun!

Livvy does not like being left alone, so the Ervin family tries to take her with them to as many places as possible. When they can’t bring her, she stands on her hind legs to welcome them home.

See some of my favorites of the Ervin Family!

The Owens Family {Nashville Dog Photography}

The Owens Family and I headed to the Ellington Agriculture Center for some beautiful fall photos with their dogs! I love how the colors in the background go perfectly with the outfits they chose.

The people: Carly and Nate. The Pets: Dobby and Waffle.

Dobby is a 3-year-old Corgi mix. Carly named him after Dobby the House Elf from the Harry Potter series because that was her favorite character in the series. Dobby is her baby :). He is extremely energetic and loves food of any kind! He also loves people and will play fetch for hours. Dobby really hates being woken-up or having his feet touched. Carly’s favorite things about him are his intelligence and loyalty! He is almost too smart at times and would follow her anywhere!

Waffle is an 8-month old Great Pyrenees. She is named Waffle because Nate just said it, and well, it just fit. Waffle was supposed to be the Owens’ very first foster, but after 15 minutes, Nate asked if they could keep her! Waffle loves food, being outside, and cuddling. She thinks she still weighs ten pounds, and therefore, she must be a lapdog! She loves to climb on people’s lap. Waffle is the opposite of her brother and seems to love everything. Carly’s favorite thing about her is that she gives boops with her noise instead giving kisses.

I hope you enjoy the cute dog photos below.
