The Unterreiner Family {Southeast Missouri Dog Photographer}

Let me start by saying that every fall I have a stack of sessions that I plan to blog, and every fall that stack gets bigger and bigger! I am truly so grateful for this. With that said, time slips on by, and before I know it I realize I have sessions from years ago that I still want to blog. Today’s blog…perfect example! It’s my sister, Lindsey, and her family from fall of 2020. My niece and nephew were 11 and 13 at the time. Because of the time lapse, I’ve included an updated photo of the two of them from this year, now BOTH teenagers! Grace is 13 and Noah is 15, and oh how they have changed in two short years.

Below are some of my favorites from our session. We did them at my favorite location on a farm near where I'm from in Southeast Missouri. While I did take some pics of their cute pups, we took a lot of just their family too!

Lindsay and her husband Ryan got two Yorkshire terriers puppies for the kids about a year and a half ago. The tiny one is Daisy, the big one is Buster. They are, oddly enough, siblings from the same litter but look nothing alike.

Daisy and Buster are both food lovers and they both agree that going to the vet and groomer is their least favorite things to do.

The family loves that their dogs are cuddlers and that this breed doesn’t shed and are small!

Also, Lindsey got a big print from this session of the family and the dogs. It’s always fun to see my work on someone’s walls, so it makes me smile when ever I go to their house and see that photo.

I hope you enjoy seeing some of my family on the blog!

Lauren with her pups Deacon and Charlie {Nashville Pet Photography}

Happy New Year! I had a wonderful Christmas with my immediate family, and then traveled to Missouri for the New Year. I hope your holidays were great too!

This week on the blog, We have photos of Lauren and her two pups, Deacon and Charlie. We did this photo session at my home in College Grove.

First, we have Deacon. He is a six-year-old standard goldendoodle and named after a character on the show Nashville. Deacon loves other dogs, and he loves the water! “He really is such a big goof,” Lauren describes. And he doesn’t like any type of boots, which Lauren finds hilarious. Deacon listens well; however, he doesn’t like to cuddle as much as he might look like he would (or as much as Lauren would like). Lauren loves that goldendoodles are smart and don’t shed (a major plus!).

Next, is Charlie. This cute dog is a five-year-old red merle Australian Shepard. Charlie was named on a whim but, Lauren has always liked boys names that could be used for a girl, so it stuck. Charlie is needy and loves her momma the most. She definitely does not like sharing attention and doesn’t mind giving the attention back especially when she greets Lauren with tons of love! Charlie came from a farm, so she has that working dog drive. Lauren loves to take her back to a farm and watch Charlie in her element. “Australian shepherds are something else,” says Lauren, ‘“She even used to try and herd me! But she is so loyal and picks up on social ques so easily.”

Hope you enjoy the pictures of Lauren and her two beautiful dogs!

The Whipp Family (Part 2) {Nashville Pet Photography}

Part 2 of the Whipp Family, as promised. (Check out Part 1 of these fabulous photos!) I photographed this family last fall, where I had the opportunity to do the photos at their beautiful home and land in the White Bluff area. It was a photographer’s dream with so many places to capture, I had to break this up into a two parter so I could share as many of the photos as possible!

This is the Whipp family: Amy, Jake and Landon (who is six years old here). With them is Piccolo, their two-year-old golden lab mix. They also have two barn cats - Boots and Barkley who were around for some photos as well. Amy outdid herself in creating set ups for their session and selecting perfect outfits for each spot!

I hope you enjoy this second set of pics for this gorgeous family! - Mandy
