The Huse Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

July 14, 2021 Heather Nelms

I thought a little Christmas in July would be a nice treat on the blog today. Meet the Huse Family: Laura-Kate, Collin and their two Chihuahuas. I took these photos last fall at Sarah Benson Park in Thompson’s Station, hence all the leaves and the adorable Christmas sweaters!

“All of our dogs are named with Star Wars names.” Pictured below are Yoda and Luke. They had another sweet boy, Chewy, but he passed away a few years ago. The Star Wars names are so fun! Luke came from the TN Russell Rescue in Spring Hill. He is a 3ish year old rescued chihuahua (they did the DNA test, 100% chihuahua). Luke has so many great things about him: He is spunky, opinionated and a master cuddler. He is loyal, and he enjoys nothing more than sitting on the couch cuddling.

Yoda came from the rescue Cauzican in Tallahassee Florida. Yoda is a 4ish year old rescued chihuahua (also 100% from DNA test). He is so smart, patient, and has the most gentle and kind heart. He LOVES being outside, going on long walks, and napping in a sunny window.

All of the Huse Family Chihuahua’s are rescues. Chihuahuas tend to be misunderstood, but the Huse Family knows what wonderful family members they are! They respond best to patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of love.

Enjoy a few of my favorites from our session!

The Zhang Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

June 16, 2021 Heather Nelms

On the blog this week is the Zhang family: Jenny and Jason with their pup, Chubie! They even brought Jenny’s parents along for the session. Some the photos were be a gift for her dad’s birthday!

Chubie is an English Cream golden retriever. She was about 12 weeks old in the pictures below. That was last October, so I know she has grown quite a bit since then! Chubie got her name from “Chu”, which is the sound for a kiss in Japanese. She loves eating off her snuffle mat and belly rubs.

Jenny and Jack love pretty much everything about her and love that this breed of dog is super friendly, eager to please, and beautiful (they particularly love her fan-like fluffy tail!). Chubie is a very well behaved and her temperament is sweet and calm. She follows Jenny around everywhere is very good company.

Chubie is from a breeder called Misty Valley Goldens near Chattanooga.

And a big surprise for Chubie: Jenny and Jack are expecting so she will be a big sister! Congratulations you guys!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Eva, Mayzie, and Roxy {Nashville Dog Photographer}

May 4, 2021 Heather Nelms

Meet Eva and her sweet girls! She brought along her two cuties, Mayzie and Roxy, for an outdoor photo session last fall. She has had both of these pups for over ten years!

Mayzie is a twelve year old Boston terrier given up by her owners as a puppy because she had a lot of behavior problems. Eva was planning to foster her for a little while but realized she would have a tough time finding a home because of her mental and behavioral issues, so Eva decided to keep her. While she is the “sweetest, smartest dog” Eva has had, she is definitely the most challenging on a daily basis. Eva says it is worth it, as she is also very loving and loves to snuggle. Her favorite things to do include licking everything she can and chasing squirrels.

Eva’s other girl, Roxy, is an eleven year old mutt. Her DNA test shows that she is 50% Boston terrier, 25% Pomeranian and 12.5% each of Havanese and shih tzu. Roxy, who goes by Roo, loves belly rubs more than anything in the world. She also appreciates a good game of fetch, and she’s great at snuggling and befriending new people. She was rescued from a shelter in Jefferson County, TN in 2010.

Eva loves that her girls are always happy to see her and provide unconditional love and support.

Take a look at some of my favorite photos from our session!
