Risha, Michael, Kathy, Giggles & Gunther! {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog this week is another cute family and pet portrait session that's been hiding in the archives! Meet Risha, her son Michael, and her mom Kathy at their home in Brentwood, TN last spring!

I took some headshots for Risha, and since Michael was about to graduate high school around this time, we also had a fun family portrait session. It was also around Mother's Day weekend, so it was all about the mommas!

And, of course, we had to include the pups: Giggles and Gunther! Giggles is a super sweet 9-year-old miniature red dachshund, and Gunther is a 6-year-old black and tan rescued mix.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session below!

The Fassett Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I love seeing familiar faces, but one thing I probably love even more is seeing new furry family members! I've photographed the Fassett family before they adopted their dog, and this time I had the opportunity to spend some time photographing their two kids and new pup, Chewy, at their home in Brentwood!

Chewy is only one year old and named after Chewbacca from Star Wars, since he just happened to look like him. He's a havanese and doesn't shed, which is great because his new mom, Courtney, has allergies. He's a big fan of belly rubs and snuggles, and loves to follow Courtney around everywhere (like her little shadow!). Chewy is also super lovable, and hides bones around the house -- and even acts all surprised when he goes looking for it the next day! So cute.

You can see Chewy in the pictures below with Miller (8) and Collins (6). Miller loves Minecraft, Star Wars, Nerf Battles, swimming, being with his buddies, biking and reading. Collins also loves Minecraft, American Girl, loves playing school and being with friends.

Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this family photo session!

Daisy {Brentwood Dog Photographer}

It's not every day I get the chance to take portraits of dogs as adorable and happy as Daisy!

Below you'll get to meet this playful 12-year-old basset hound and her parents Brittany and Mike.

Not only does she love food of any kind, but she has the sweetest basset hound eyes that no one can say no to! Brittany and Mike love her personality and are extremely glad she has really "come alive" since they adopted her after she had been neglected and used as a breeder. They found her at Willy's Happy Endings in Clarksville, TN, and now she's such an important part of the Walker family!

I had a blast with them at Smith Park in Brentwood, and since there was so much space for her to be off the leash, she ran a lot. More than she had ever run before, which made it all the more fun to photograph! 

I hope you enjoy my favorites from their session!
