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!

Don Draper {Nashville Foster Puppy}

I'm sure some of you saw on Twitter or Facebook that David & I got a new foster puppy. Which means, of course, a foster puppy blog post. So, here he is - all 8 pounds of him! This little guy, four of his siblings and his mom was rescued by a wonderful couple in Berry Hill. Most of the pups have already been adopted and mom (who they think is a Border Collie/Shepard mix) is getting stronger everyday. At 10 weeks old he has already had a couple of names: Parsley (they named all the pups after herbs at first), then Victor. My husband thinks his name might be Baxter, but I'm not so sure. I kind of like Don Draper (yes, we've been watching a lot of Mad Men lately :)

No matter what his name is, this guy is super cute. He's some kind of Border Collie mix (who knows who dad is). He's doing great with our dog Rosie and our cats outweigh him by double, so he's getting along great with them too. We are working on crate and potty training and he's doing good so far.

If you'd like to meet him please let me know!  Our  first photo shoot was only 18 hours after we got him, so he was a bit shy - but I think his personality comes through.

And I'm pretty sure he'd fit in your Christmas stocking.

The Glenn Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Nan & Craig recently made an addition to their family, a sweet silver lab named Ollie who is adorable beyond words. Ollie did great during his first photo shoot and we got so many wonderful images of their new family. 

I can't wait to see him again when he's grown! Enjoy some of my favorite images as a sneak preview!
