Mia and Remy {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Before we get to these sweet photos of Mia Becker and her gal Remy, just a bit of housekeeping. My fall mini session calendar will be coming out at the end of the month. Please sign up for my newsletter if you would like to be of the first to see available openings. You can do that here! The newsletter list gets that mini calendar first and spots will book up quickly.

Now for Mia and Remy, her gorgeous Rottweiler…we did a one-hour session at a beautiful, private farm near Franklin, TN. Remy is three and is named after the main character of the Pixar movie Ratatouille, which is one of Mia’s favorite movies.

Remy really loves playing and will even entertain herself playing with one of her favorite toys if Mia is busy. However, this cute dog would definitely prefer playing fetch or chase with Mia or with other dogs. The one thing Remy really hates: having her nails trimmed. Can you blame her?

Mia’s favorite thing about Remy is her disposition. She is so happy, sweet, gentle, loyal, and affectionate. Her energy is contagious, and she is always making Mia laugh. When asked about why Mia loves the Rottweiler breed so much, she stated: “I love how they’re a perfect balance of silly and serious. They instinctively know when to be fiercely protective and when they can relax and be goofy.” 

I hope you love the photos as much as I do!

The Unterreiner Family {Southeast Missouri Dog Photographer}

Let me start by saying that every fall I have a stack of sessions that I plan to blog, and every fall that stack gets bigger and bigger! I am truly so grateful for this. With that said, time slips on by, and before I know it I realize I have sessions from years ago that I still want to blog. Today’s blog…perfect example! It’s my sister, Lindsey, and her family from fall of 2020. My niece and nephew were 11 and 13 at the time. Because of the time lapse, I’ve included an updated photo of the two of them from this year, now BOTH teenagers! Grace is 13 and Noah is 15, and oh how they have changed in two short years.

Below are some of my favorites from our session. We did them at my favorite location on a farm near where I'm from in Southeast Missouri. While I did take some pics of their cute pups, we took a lot of just their family too!

Lindsay and her husband Ryan got two Yorkshire terriers puppies for the kids about a year and a half ago. The tiny one is Daisy, the big one is Buster. They are, oddly enough, siblings from the same litter but look nothing alike.

Daisy and Buster are both food lovers and they both agree that going to the vet and groomer is their least favorite things to do.

The family loves that their dogs are cuddlers and that this breed doesn’t shed and are small!

Also, Lindsey got a big print from this session of the family and the dogs. It’s always fun to see my work on someone’s walls, so it makes me smile when ever I go to their house and see that photo.

I hope you enjoy seeing some of my family on the blog!

Zettersten Family {Nashville Dog Photography}

This week on the blog, I get to share a record for me of the largest puppy I have ever photographed! Yes! You read that right…the St. Bernard photographed below, is just a puppy! He is only six months old. His sister, who is seven years old, is another big dog breed - a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Johanna and Rolf Zettersten brought their sweet pups to my home in College Grove for their photo shoot. Winston is the St. Bernard and was named Winston because he “just looks like a Winston” and after Winston Churchill. Their Bernese Mountain Dog was named Scout (a girl) after the character in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Both Winston and Scout love everything. While Winston is still navigating kids, Scout is just happy to be alive. However, she doesn’t like thunderstorms.

Johanna and Rolf love to watch Winston grow, as he is changing everyday. They love discovering the world through his eyes. “He is such a happy little boy.” The Zettersten’s say Scout is just the most loyal, loving creature. When asked about why they love the breeds of their pups, their response was “We love big dogs and we can not lie.” In all seriousness, both pups are gentle giants with an even bigger capacity to love unconditionally.

I can’t end on a much sweeter note than that. Hope you enjoy checking out some of my favorite photos from their session!
