The Oxford Dog and The Alexander Family {Nashville Pet Product Photography

I am very excited to share the photos from my session with the Alexander Family, as it marks the beginning of our partnership between Mandy Whitley Photography and their family owned business, The Oxford Dog. The Oxford Dog is known for making durable and fashionable dog collars! Travis and Sara built this company because they couldn’t find high quality, modern dog accessories for their two pups and always loved the idea of having a family business. This is that dream in fruition. And for my clients, they are offering 20% off anything on the site. Just enter this code: MWPoxford at checkout

So who are the sweet pups that inspired the Alexander Family to come up with such fantastic dog products? You can meet Maggie (6 year old mix breed) and Belle (16 year old golden retriever) below. They also have a very cute human baby, Riley who is 3.5 months old!

Maggie LOVES kids and playing chase with other dogs. Belle LOVES anyone who will just sit with her and pet her. She used to love fetching all the time when she was younger. They are both VERY sweet, but in different ways. Belle could literally be a therapy dog because she wants to just sit with you and always be nearby. Maggie is more of the type that wants to play with you. She is also very attentive to everything going on and the Alexanders suspect she has a shepherd type breed in her.

Both of them are rescues. Maggie came from a non-profit fostering program in Eunice, Louisiana, and Belle came from a pound in Pineville, Louisiana. Both of them were about two years old when adopted.
Golden retrievers are Travis and Sara’s favorite breed. (Maggie does have some golden in her, just not full blooded. She definitely has a lot of the golden personality). They are just the sweetest breed ever and have never met a stranger. Goldens love to fetch!

See some of my favorites of this adorable family with their super sweet pups below. I have also included a couple of shots of my own dogs modeling different fabrics of The Oxford Dog’s dog collars and leashes. You can click on the images of the individual dogs to go directly to that specific product or just go straight to The Oxford Dog website to see all this family company has to offer your dogs.

The McBryde Family {Nashville Dog Photography}

I am very excited to share on the blog this week some very good friends of mine! It isn’t everyday people you know get a new puppy, so a photoshoot was certainly in order! I’m so glad we were able to get this on the calendar…as you know, puppies are only this little and cute for such a short amount of time. It’s always a great idea to book a session when they are just babies and then again as adult dogs!

Kristen, Matt, Carlisle (Carly is just starting second grade), and Annabel McBryde (AB is just starting 4th grade) joined me at Marcelle Vivrette Smith Park for a mini photo session with their adorable four and a half month old F1BB Labradoodle, Lincoln.

The McBryde Family named him Lincoln because he is from Lincoln county in Tennessee. They love that their puppy looks like a muppet and is super playful! Labradoodles are great because they don’t shed, and the McBrydes love this about the breed.

Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from our mini!

Robert, Nicolle, Sam and Owen at Ellington Agriculture Center {Nashville Engagement Photographer}

On this week's blog is a fun engagement session with two sweet rescue dogs at Ellington Agriculture Center in Nashville!

Samantha Eleanor is a 12 year old blue healer and was rescued through Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown, Iowa. Nicolle named her Sam for Sammi Sweetheart when she was watching Jersey Shore. She earned her middle name “Ellie” because when she was a pup she had…um… gas and was smelly, so she became Sam-Ellie. Hah! Sam loves people and attention. Sam dislikes weedeaters, lawnmowers, or any loud mechanical engines. She is incredibly loyal and protective of Nicolle and is a very affectionate and sweet girl.

Owen Douglas is about 3 years old and is Catahoula hound dog. Owen was rescued through Friends of Rescue in Alabama. His foster mom named him Owen and it fit him so well, Robert and Nicolle decided to keep it. His middle name comes from the movie Up because he is the real-life version of Doug.

Owen loves everything and everyone, especially large men with beards. He LOVES FOOD. All he wants in life is to eat, play fetch, lick your face, and cuddle. Owen is the most happy go lucky dog ever, though he is very protective of his back legs (he had to have his hip broken as a puppy and they worked with him very hard to get his leg back to normal again).

Samatha has been Nicolle’s ride or die best friend for over a decade. Nicolle rescued Owen about 2 weeks before she and Robert met and she admits that he’s become Robert’s dog.

Below are some of my favorites from the session with Robert, Nicolle, Sam and Owen! Enjoy!
