The Hatfield Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

May 25, 2021 Heather Nelms

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!

The Gruber-Houchin Family {Nashville Pet Photography}

Fall is just around the corner and the fall mini sessions calendar will be announced very soon, so sign up for the newsletter on the home page of this blog to be the first to see the dates!

On the blog this week: the Gruber-Houchin Family. This post is very timely because their baby girl made her arrival just last week!

I just know the Silver German Shepherd you see photographed below will make such a great big sister! While Presley isn’t a fan of cats, she does love her cousins…of both the canine and human type!

Presley, the name she had before becoming a part of the Gruber-Houchin household, is 3.5 years old. “The name just seemed to suit her”. Presley was adopted through the Middle Tennessee German Shepherd Rescue, which this family highly recommends!

Presley loves to fetch and play with tennis balls, not to mention treats! The Gruber-Houchin’s love that she is very protective and playful.

If this family looks familiar, well that’s because they are! I photographed them four years ago in a family mini session with their last German Shepherd, Cooper. Check out those photos here: Gruber-Houchin Family Mini Session.

Enjoy a few favorites from their maternity session! Isn’t Madalene gorgeous!

Amy & Faulkner {Nashville Pet Photographer}

April 30, 2020 Heather Nelms

So this is Christmas…okay, maybe it isn’t…but how about some photos that are cheerful and bright? I believe the pics just might bring some of that Christmas joy and hope into your hearts very early! (I think we could all use some these days.)

This was the fifth photo session I did with Amy and Faulkner! We did this shoot back in October for her holiday cards and to see this duo again is always awesome. If you want to see more of their sessions please view this session we did in 2018 here. He is just as happy!

Amy has commented on Faulkner’s incredible zest for life and how excited he gets when he sees his favorite thing - a tennis ball! You can’t help but smile at his energy. Faulkner is a German Shorthair Pointer, a breed known for that energy, but Amy keeps up with him just fine.

These two make quite a pair. Enjoy some of my favorites.

P.S. This photo shoot was done in studio, which are available to rent for mini sessions and hour sessions. If you want to do photos but think outdoors won’t work with your pet(s), let’s talk about this option!
