The McBryde Family {Nashville Dog Photography}

August 26, 2021 Heather Nelms

I am very excited to share on the blog this week some very good friends of mine! It isn’t everyday people you know get a new puppy, so a photoshoot was certainly in order! I’m so glad we were able to get this on the calendar…as you know, puppies are only this little and cute for such a short amount of time. It’s always a great idea to book a session when they are just babies and then again as adult dogs!

Kristen, Matt, Carlisle (Carly is just starting second grade), and Annabel McBryde (AB is just starting 4th grade) joined me at Marcelle Vivrette Smith Park for a mini photo session with their adorable four and a half month old F1BB Labradoodle, Lincoln.

The McBryde Family named him Lincoln because he is from Lincoln county in Tennessee. They love that their puppy looks like a muppet and is super playful! Labradoodles are great because they don’t shed, and the McBrydes love this about the breed.

Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from our mini!

Meet Allyson and her parents with pups Georgia and Emma! Allyson won this session at the Pedigree Foundation Fundraising Event I donated to. She was able to schedule her session time when her parents were in town so they could be part of it as well!

Georgia is a six and a half year old American Staffordshire terrier/boxer/collie/Great Pyrenees mix. She was named after Curious George because she is also very curious. Georgia is a lover and loves attention and snuggles.

Emma is a six year old golden retriever/American Staffordshire terrier/boxer/chow chow mix. Emma was already “Emma” when she joined the family and it seemed to fit. She is a free spirit, loves to play and be praised.

Allyson loves that both of her pups have a great personality, are loyal, and give unconditional love. While they have two breeds in common (American Staffordshire terrier and boxer), Allyson finds it amazing that they are so different in looks and personality.

Georgia and Emma are both rescues. Georgia came from Home at Last Animal Rescue and Emma from New Life Animal Rescue.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Pets Are Family, Too!

Eva, Mayzie, and Roxy {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Meet Eva and her sweet girls! She brought along her two cuties, Mayzie and Roxy, for an outdoor photo session last fall. She has had both of these pups for over ten years!

Mayzie is a twelve year old Boston terrier given up by her owners as a puppy because she had a lot of behavior problems. Eva was planning to foster her for a little while but realized she would have a tough time finding a home because of her mental and behavioral issues, so Eva decided to keep her. While she is the “sweetest, smartest dog” Eva has had, she is definitely the most challenging on a daily basis. Eva says it is worth it, as she is also very loving and loves to snuggle. Her favorite things to do include licking everything she can and chasing squirrels.

Eva’s other girl, Roxy, is an eleven year old mutt. Her DNA test shows that she is 50% Boston terrier, 25% Pomeranian and 12.5% each of Havanese and shih tzu. Roxy, who goes by Roo, loves belly rubs more than anything in the world. She also appreciates a good game of fetch, and she’s great at snuggling and befriending new people. She was rescued from a shelter in Jefferson County, TN in 2010.

Eva loves that her girls are always happy to see her and provide unconditional love and support.

Take a look at some of my favorite photos from our session!
