First and foremost, it is my hope that you and your family had a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays. I know this year has been difficult for many, and I am so grateful to all of you. Furry and human alike, I was able to photograph many hopeful and smiling faces this year. Thank you for sharing your families with me!
I thought it was very appropriate to have the last post of the year be my long time clients Maranda and Reba! They are the sweetest, and this year Liam was able to meet them since their mini was at my home (he LOVES seeing all the doggies that come to the house for minis). Maranda and Reba’s fantastic faces have found their way onto my business cards and several of my sample items. These came from Maranda and Reba’s very first Pets and Their People Photography session with me at Harlinsdale Farms.
Fall is the best time of year for them since Reba’s coat matches the fall leaves perfectly. And just how did Reba get such an iconic name…Nashville’s very own Reba McEntire of course! Reba is a 10 or 11 year old rescue from a no-kill shelter in Western TN, through a Petsmart adoption day in Nashville. She is part pit, dachshund and kangaroo. I have witnessed how high this dog can jump and it is truly awesome to watch. Though she did JUST recover from double back knee replacement surgery, she is doing great! (Yes, she can still do what she loves - jump!)
Maranda says she is "literally the best dog" - easygoing, doesn't bark 99.9% of the time, and gets along with all people and other dogs. Reba is also full of snuggles, loves to sleep in and is the best embodiment of unconditional love, ever.
I hope you enjoy some of my favorites! And from my family to yours…Happy New Year. May this new year bring you and your families many moments of joy and smiles!
