Maranda and Reba {Nashville Dog Photographer}

It is truly something great when I get to continue photographing the same faces over the years. This familiar pet and her person, Maranda and Reba, have been on my blog since 2015. Though I have quite a few blog entries of this duo, check out their most recent one here. You might remember Reba because she is named after the country singing legend Reba McEntire, and because she is part dog and part kangaroo.

Maranda and her sweet pup met me at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park in November last year. They match with the scenery around them so well! Also, I love how Maranda always has Reba adorned with a pretty flower ready for her pictures. Reba is about 12 years old now and was rescued from a no-kill shelter in Western TN, through a Petsmart adoption day in Nashville. Though it is fun to call her part kangaroo, she is really a pit and dachshund mix. (It’s just that this dog could jump so high…you have to wonder).

Maranda feels like a truly lucky dog mom, as Reba is easygoing, gets along with others (humans and dogs alike), and is ready to snuggle and sleep in anytime.

I hope you enjoy some of my faves from this session.

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.
