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!

Henley & Charley {Nashville Pet Photographer}

On the blog this week are two sweet little girls, Henley and Charley, and their two pups! I absolutely loved meeting their adorable King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, named Brave and Sunshine Susie.

Brave is four years old. Henley came up with the name from the movie, after the Disney princess Merida. Sunshine Susie is only two years old, and Charley came up with the name because she thought it sounded "happy"! Most of the time, though, she refers to her as Baby Sun. How cute is that?!

Both Brave and Sunshine Susie love hugs and long naps on the laps of their girls. Their least favorite? When Henley decides to give them a bath. The family loves that they make wonderful companions and are so happy-go-lucky, especially with kids -- and I'm not surprised. Just look at how sweet they are!

Enjoy a few of my favorites below!

Jaime & Jed's Mad Men Themed Engagement Session {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

This session was ridiculously fun for so many reasons. Jaime and Jed are such a fun couple, I really can't wait for their wedding!

They brought me to Chicago for their engagement session. This marked my first time flying somewhere and returning home in the same day, which was super cool!

The first half of the session was themed with a Mad Men vibe (which will continue into their wedding as well). For those of you familiar with the show Mad Men and who might not know, I actually have a dog named Don Draper. I'm kind of in love with the show, as I am with most TV shows or movies that includes outfits from a specific time period. It's true. Jaime and Jed found the perfect location for these photos - the gorgeous and decked out 60's style Hotel Lincoln. I seriously could not have asked for more in terms of a Mad Men styled location!

We also included their two super cute pups, King Charles Spaniels Wall-e and Eva. So again, more of my favorites as I ALWAYS like to include furry family members in my sessions.

Then we topped off the day at the beach on Lake Michigan, which I had seen many times but never actually been ON the beach itself. A great day indeed!

Thank you Jaime & Jed! And thanks to Jed's mom for being my official assistant :) You guys are the best!
