RARE Adoptables {Nashville Pet Photographer}

As you may have seen before, I often work with local animal organizations to help promote their adoption and foster programs. I recently captured some photos for RARE, also known as Rural Animal Rescue Effort, based out of Middle Tennessee.

RARE is a non-profit whose mission is to "rescue neglected and abandoned animals in the most rural areas of Tennessee" and aims to find forever homes for them in more populated areas of the state!

Below you'll get a chance to see two of their adoptable pets, one cat and one dog. Axel is a sweet Australian Shepherd/Rottweiler mix and is house trained and ready to find his new family! He's also pretty energetic and would be the perfect fit for someone who is active.

Dinah is a beautiful tortoiseshell mix, with brown and black colors on her coat. She's onlyone and a half years old, and loves to curl up and purr softly in your lap.

If you are interested in adopting either of these animals, head on over to RARE's adoption application online to get started!

And if you can't adopt please share so we can find these two their furever homes.

Agape Animal Rescue Holiday Event {Nashville Dog Photographer}

The holidays aren't just for celebrating with your relatives, they're for spending time with your furry family members, too!

On December 2nd, I'll be teaming up with Agape Animal Rescue for a charity event where you'll get the chance to take holiday photos with your pet(s)! You can bring your pooch to the event at My Second Home Pet Resort between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. that day, and take pictures with your pet in your ugly holiday sweaters!

There is a $20 minimum donation to participate, which is benefiting Agape Animal Rescue to help animals find loving families and forever homes -- and one high-resolution digital image is included! We'll also be running a special where you can get 25 5x7 flat holiday cards for only $40 (normally $60). And any other purchases from the event will be available for a 10% discount.

These preview images were a fun little test run with Miller (the bigger dog) and Ally, and Wallace (the cute little pooch) and Tanya!

Hope to see you at the event!

The Paulk Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

On the blog this week is the Paulk family! I had so much fun capturing portraits of Nicole, her mom Irmgard, and their three pups (Chloe, Lexi Kate, and Coco) this summer at my home in Nashville. 

Chloe is an 11-year-old cocker spaniel who has youthful happiness, limitless energy and some adorable paws! She has two true loves: any and all kinds of food, and her toy bunny. She also thinks baths are utterly pointless. Not only did Nicole name her Chloe after wanting a quintessential French name, she also added a middle name of Noël, since she was brought to her new home in the month of December. 

Lexi Kate is a four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and loves being in your lap the most.  She dislikes the rain and completely refuses to go out in it. What Nicole loves most about Lexi Kate is her resilience, soft fur and laugh. Although the name 'Lexi' was given to her by her rescue heroes from the Cavalier Rescue of Alabama on her freedom day, Nicole added the second name of Kate in honor of her first Cavalier, Katie.

And little Coco is 13 years old and a poochon who was found wandering the streets one day and now has a forever home! They named her Coco because of her hot-chocolate colored fur. She loves naps and toys, and is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms. Nicole says she loves her powder puff tail, the way she runs, and the way she listens to you when you talk to her. 

The day of our session was also a special time to celebrate with photos, since it was Irmgard's birthday! I hope you enjoy these favorites from their mini session with me!
