The Parenteau Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

On the blog this week are a few familiar faces: meet my friends Jourdan, Pete, and their two furry family members, Buzzy and Squirrel! We had a family photo session with the Parenteaus and their cats three years ago, and it was so nice to see them again!

Jourdan has had both cats since they were little fur babies, and now Buzzy is 13 and Squirrel will turn the same age in May! They're also siblings from different litters and have some similar colors and markings I just love. Plus, those green eyes get me every time.

They're both beautiful animals and I'm also glad to hear that Buzzy is recovering like a true champ from a recent leg amputation!  

Enjoy some of my favorites!

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!

The Lipscomb Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog this week are some familiar faces: the Lipscombs! I love being able to watch families grow and I'm thankful I get to capture moments like these time and time again. You can see one of my favorite previous sessions with them by heading on over to Bea's newborn session with their dogs. This time, we had some fun taking fall portraits, complete with big smiles and large pumpkins!

Bea is growing up so quickly and is already finding her own personality. She loves Peppa Pig and all things Frozen. She also enjoys her ballet class, singing loudly in quiet places and dressing up like a princess.

Bea's oldest fur buddy, Bella, is a 12-year-old cavalier King Charles spaniel. The Lipscombs love that cavaliers are known for their calm demeanor and snuggles. Their other two newest additions to the family  are Georgie (a 5-month-old Lagotto Romagnolo) and Finn (a mix who was named after the mischievous Mark Twain character). Finn is a rescue from Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue. 

Hope you enjoy my favorites!
