Meet Mika - The Nashville Lifestyles Cover Dog! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Mika is the winner of the Nashville Lifestyle's Annual Cover Dog contest that was held at the always gorgeous Cheekwood Botanical Gardens last month. I was so excited to photograph Mika, a Samoyed, for the magazine and I had such a great time with all of this sweet pup's human family! Here are a few of my favorites from the session!

Kelli & David's family session with their chickens & dog! {Nashville Lifestyle Photographer}

First, I must address the crickets heard on the blog lately. We are selling and buying homes right now and unfortunately the blog has taken a bit of a back seat to that process (and what a process it is)! I'm happy to say that today is the day for a new blog and what better choice than Kelli & David's lifestyle session at their great new house in East Nashville - along with their dog Charley, and all three of their chickens: Ann-Margaret, Penguin, and Amelia!

So I was just a little bit excited about my very first photo shoot including chickens, and now that I've done one I can't wait for the next! This session was so much fun - Kelli and David could not have been sweeter and I also had a very educational experience as I asked approximately one million questions about raising chickens while I was there. We are moving to a more rural area near Franklin, so who knows….chickens may be in our future :)

Thanks for looking!

The Costanza Family! {Nashville Family Photographer}

Pete & Sutton wanted to do some family photos at their home for Christmas cards this year with them and all three of their furry children - Emma, Beasley, and Fuzzy. No, not dogs this time - this time it was all about the kittens. And I'll tell you, they are definitely a tougher crowd than dogs, but I loved working with them! It was such a fun session and I LOVED so many of the shots we got that day - so excited to share a few with you today! (including a few great outtakes!)

And if you need a great realtor, these two are the best! They work together for The Lipman Group Sotheby's International Realty!

Thanks for looking,

And the outtakes - the look on Emma's face makes me laugh every time I see this!
