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!

The Brinkman Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

This week I pulled this sweet group out of the archives! Meet the Brinkman family: Tim, Ann, Alex, Nikki, Ty and their super adorable pup Presley. 

They are all big Alabama football fans, especially since that's where Ann went to college. A love of sports now runs in the family!

At the time of the session, Alex is a junior and loves to cheer at Brentwood Academy, and is a big fan of Starbucks. :) Nikki is a 7th grader who also attends Brentwood Academy and is even on the dance team there! Their brother, Ty, is a 2rd grader at Crockett. He loves playing football, basketball and baseball whenever he can!

And last, but definitely not least, is Presley. He's a 10-year-old cockapoo named after Elvis himself! Although not nearly as famous, he does have a fun, curly hairdo that makes him very lovable. :)
