Mia, Abby & Nolan! {Nashville Pet Photographer}

April 19, 2016 mandy whitley

Sometimes I just seriously cannot believe how fast time flies! This is Mia, the daughter of one of my LONG time friends. She is turned 11 last Friday! I have been photographing her since she was little and I just can't believe she is 11 years old!

We photographed this session at Azalea Farm in Oak Ridge, Missouri. She was joined by her pups Abby, a collie, and Nolan, a toy poodle.

Happy {Belated} Birthday, Mia!

The Hipler Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

April 14, 2016 mandy whitley

I love getting to photograph Nashville families with a heart for animal rescue! The Hipler family (I love this combination of both last names Tipler & Hood) is definitely one of those families-they have 5 rescue dogs! And Kelly is actually on the board of the Pet Community Center, which is an organization featured on my Adopt page.

Up first we have Levi, a 15 year old flat coat retriever. The family rescued him after he was left alone in a neighbor's yard. Then we have Zinnia, a 14 year old border collie mix who was rescued off Bell Road. Two of their pups, Mille, the shepherd mix, and Roxy, a true Heinz 57, were both rescued in Easy Nashville. Last, but certainly not least, we have sweet little Turnip, who was rescued after she was left outside in the freezing cold after her owners moved away. Turnip is the snuggler of the group, and likes to hug you when you hold her! And you can be sure I got some snuggles before I left :)

All the pups looked very fancy in their brand new Earth Dog collars, that they got for the occasion.

We started the session out with all the pups in the Tipler family's home, and then all the humans took a little walk to Edgehill Village for a few more images. Ashlynn & Dylan love their pups and are super cute kiddos - they really like to have fun, and even laughed and that one joke I know!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this Nashville pet's and their people session!

Puppy-Filled Wedding Inspiration at Riverwood Mansion {Nashville Wedding Photographer}

April 5, 2016 mandy whitley

I am so excited to share this springtime Riverwood Mansion wedding inspiration! This was my first ever styled shoot and I loved partnering with the lovely ladies at Riverwood Mansion in East Nashville. Of course I couldn't do a wedding styled shoot without filling it with as many dogs as possible! We had 7 in total, of all shapes and sizes. The star of the shoot was Etta from East C.A.N. At the time of the shoot, Etta was looking for her forever home. She has since been adopted! The rest of the pups came with our weddings guests and the mansion's staff members!

We incorporated our love of animals with a casual and eclectic wedding on Riverwood's front lawn, right under a 200 year old magnolia tree. I honestly can't think of a more fun way to get married! There was even a mini fenced-in dog park fenced where the pups could play.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful local vendors and models who made this possible - it was so much fun working with all of you! Make sure to scroll to the end of the post to see all the vendor information!
