The Rowland Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

Meet the Rowland family: Mark, Keri, Collier, Caris Brooks, Cortlin, and their sweet pup Coco.

It was a gorgeous day for family photos during this fall mini, and they all wore perfect outfits for the session! And Coco is one of the cutest little dogs ever. Coco is a maltipoo (a Maltese and Poodle mix) and is only a little over a year old. Since all three kids have "C" names, Keri and Mark thought it'd be perfect to name her Coco to fit right in with the rest of the family. 

Coco is a snuggler and enjoys playing with the kids. She's a super easy-going, laid back and lovable dog!

RARE Adoptables {Nashville Pet Photographer}

As you may have seen before, I often work with local animal organizations to help promote their adoption and foster programs. I recently captured some photos for RARE, also known as Rural Animal Rescue Effort, based out of Middle Tennessee.

RARE is a non-profit whose mission is to "rescue neglected and abandoned animals in the most rural areas of Tennessee" and aims to find forever homes for them in more populated areas of the state!

Below you'll get a chance to see two of their adoptable pets, one cat and one dog. Axel is a sweet Australian Shepherd/Rottweiler mix and is house trained and ready to find his new family! He's also pretty energetic and would be the perfect fit for someone who is active.

Dinah is a beautiful tortoiseshell mix, with brown and black colors on her coat. She's onlyone and a half years old, and loves to curl up and purr softly in your lap.

If you are interested in adopting either of these animals, head on over to RARE's adoption application online to get started!

And if you can't adopt please share so we can find these two their furever homes.

The Daigle Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Right before Christmas, we took a little trip to visit our friends, the Daigle family! They used to live in Nashville, and now are back home in Fort Kent, Maine. We had a blast with a mini family and pet session at Rick's parents place!

Meet Rick, Cassie and their son, Keegan -- who has the cutest smile! Not only does he love his puppies, he loves to act like a puppy himself sometimes!

Their adorable pups are Molly, Layla and Hank. Molly is a border collie/Great Pyrenees mix who was adopted from Austin Humane Society. She's also SUPER friendly and definitely loves to be in your personal space, asking for love by putting her paw on you. 

Layla was adopted from Austin Pets Alive and originally had the name Kara. She's also very sweet and the most relaxed and laid back of the three dogs. Hank's original name was Guacamole! Before they adopted them, Cassie and Rick knew they wanted a Layla and a Hank, and I think their newer names fit them well. :) Hank is the protector of the house, but once he warms up to you, also just a love!

All of them love to play with other dogs, and can't get enough rawhide treats. They're all very snuggly and friendly, and have huge personalities that I just loved! Last, but not least, we also took a quick photo of the family with one of the oldest horses on the farm, named Bonnie.

Enjoy some of my favorites!
