The Riordan Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

August 30, 2022 Heather Nelms

I hope you all received my most recent newsletter where you can find information about my fall mini sessions! If not, please go to that newsletter after you check out these great photos of the Riordan Family! They did a fall mini session last year at my house in College Grove. From this session, not only did they order prints and canvases, but Holiday Cards as well!

Meet Carol and Denis with their cute dog, Tegan. It had been a very long time since they had photos done together, and this was their first time bringing their dog along to be in the images!

Tegan was four at the time of this session. She loves her toys and treats, and is very playful. She is definitely a momma’s girl, and Carol loves that. Carol and Denis also love that she is so smart and full of life.

The Riordan family rescued this sweet pup from Critter Calvary via petfinder.

Attached are a few of my favorites from their fall session.

Courtney with Macy & Bella {Nashville Dog Photography}

August 10, 2022 Heather Nelms

This week on the blog, I am honoring two sweet pups in a celebration of life, sadly they both passed away last year. I share with you some of my favorite pics of a fall mini session I did with Courtney and her two dogs at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park .

Macy, aka Mace Dawg, was a 14 year old Yorkie at the time of the session. She got the name when Courtney was in college. Courtney loves that Macy had such a big personality and that she never left her side.

Bella was an 11 year old Collie/Spaniel/Setter mix that was abandoned close to Courtney’s parents' home in Alabama. She brought this cute dog back to Nashville with her. She was extremely well behaved and calm. Courtney could just tell that Bella was so grateful to be a part of the family! “Rescues make the best pets!”

As you enjoy the photos below, keep in mind that fall is right around the corner! I am working on my fall mini sessions schedule and Marcella Vivrette Smith Park will definitely be a location option again.

Sevda and Atlas {Nashville Dog Photography}

July 20, 2022 Heather Nelms

On the blog this week are Sevda and Atlas, from our session this spring at Ellington Agriculture Center -one of my all time favorite locations!

Atlas is a two year old mix of German shepherd, Labrador, and great Pyrenees. Though he may look like a German shepherd at first glance, his personality is more like a Lab. He is a love bug and a social butterfly.

Before his adoption Sevda was told that this dog would be a large breed. Because of this she chose the name Atlas, as this was the name of a famous titan in Greek mythology known to be enormous.

Atlas loves to ride in the front seat of the car (he even has a dog safety belt to sit up there!). When he was little, he would always find a way to sneak up to the front seat. He does not like to be left home alone. He will wait for Sevda by the garage door until she comes back, giving her a sad face because she was gone.

Sevda rescued/adopted Atlas on August 1st of 2020 from Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.

Enjoy some of my favorites of these cute dog photos.
