The Hatfield Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

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 Ervin Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Meet the Ervin family on the blog this week. Levi, Amber, Wyatt and Nash brought along Quinnen Jeudy (“Quinney”), their one year old English Cream Retriever, to their family photo session. English Cream retriever’s are a part of the Golden Retriever family! Quinney is from Hidden Springs English Goldens all the way in Johnson City.

The family rule for naming dogs is they have to be named after a favorite Alabama football player. Amber is a self-admitted “crazy Bama fan”. They got Quinney for Wyatt, so he got to pick the name for her. There were a few discussed: Mrs. Terry (Nick Saban’s wife), Quinnen (for defensive lineman Quinnen Williams drafted to the Jets) and Jeudy (for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy who now plays for the Broncos). Ultimately, Wyatt chose Quinnen with Jeudy as her middle name. Now she is lovingly called Quinney Jeudy or Quinney for short.

Quinney loves food, but more specifically - treats! She knows the word and will do almost any trick to get one. She does not care for baths (and she gets many), but luckily she likes those treats, so they fixed bath time by putting peanut butter in the tub!

Quinney is super sweet but can also be on the mischievous side. It can be quite hilarious at times, as she likes to get into things she shouldn’t (like socks or bb’s). She will bring stuff to us just to show them just what she is able get into. You can see more of her finds on her instagram account @quinneyjeudy_the_golden.

Here are some of my favorites from our session at Ellington Agriculture Center this fall!

The Osborn-Dudley Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog today is the Osborn-Dudley family! Meet Matt, Chandra, Elliott, Gwendolyn, and their sweet pup Toa in some of my favorite shots below. Photos were taken at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park during their fall mini session. They just adopted Toa during quarantine from East C.A.N. My very own pups came from East C.A.N., so I definitely have special love for them.

The Osborn-Dudley’s are friends of mine, which always makes sessions so much fun! I had the honor of photographing Elliott’s birth in 2012 - an amazing experience! Elliott, who is now 8 (where does the time go?), is into star wars, Zelda and baseball. His little sister, Gwendolyn, is 5 and is into logic puzzles, reading and Dog Man. I feel compelled to mention that the freckles on these cute kids are so great!

And last but not least, Toa, their beautiful pup. He was badly abused before being rescued and adopted. Chandra named him the Samoan name “Toa” which means “Brave Warrior”. Completely fitting.

Enjoy the photos!
