November 22, 2016 mandy whitley

I am excited to share this fall mini session from my very own backyard! Sadie is a 3 year old Feist and she loved getting her picture taken with her person, Laura! Sadie did so great off the leash and is super cute, as you can see. She even gave me a doggie hug at the end of the session-isn't that the cutest! :) Enjoy a few of my favorites from this Nashville pet mini session.

Rural Animal Rescue Effort {Pet Adoption} Nashville Pet Photographer

November 17, 2016 mandy whitley

Today I'm excited to feature some furry friends from a new charity I'm working with called Rural Animal Rescue Effort (RARE). RARE is focused on rescuing and fostering animals in rural shelters and pounds.

Here's more information about RARE, "Although there are animals in need everywhere across the country, rural areas seem to have the worst cases of companion animal overpopulation and abandonment for a plethora of reasons. Most of the animals that sit in rural shelters or pounds are more commonly euthanized. This is due to the lack of space, time and money it takes to care for them and unfortunately, the majority of these animals are highly adoptable and friendly with children and other animals."

Pet adoption is something I believe in strongly, and I enjoyed getting to photograph some pets who are looking for forever homes! I'm featuring a couple of them in this post, but make sure to hop over to RARE's website so see all the pets looking for homes! If you're interested in fostering and/or adopting, you can fill out an application here.

Our first feature is Abraham, a fun, friendly, and energetic black lab! Abe is estimated to be between 1.5 and 2 years old, weighs 65 pounds, and has "an abundance of energy outside and is a gentleman in the house. Abraham tends to wiggle his whole body when he meets people and is the happiest dog there is! If you come to meet Abraham, you will be sure to fall in love with this goofy boy!"

This little guy's eyes are so captivating! Meet Gilligan, who is 6 months old and so sweet. RARE says, "He's goofy, he's fun and will keep you laughing at his adventures. Gilligan gets along with everyone and will fit in with any family who enjoys a little furry comedian."

Elka, a 4 year old Pointer, had a hard start to her life. She was found near death in a ditch, but since then has been rehabilitated with lots of love and health care. Now she is a sweet, loving pup who is great with kids and adults!

Maranda, Adam, and Reba's Family Pet Session in Franklin {Nashville Dog Photographer}

November 3, 2016 mandy whitley

You might recognize some of the people from this session! I photographed Maranda and Reba last year, and this year they brought Adam with them to join in the fun! I loved working with them again, we had so much fun exploring Harlinsdale Farm and Downtown Franklin.

Reba is a rescue who is somewhere between 6 or 7 years old...and definitely part kangaroo (just check out the proof below) And yes, she is named after country music legend, Reba McEntire-isn't that the best! She is just the sweetest and I love how her fur matches the beautiful leaves that have just fallen.

Enjoy a few of my favorites from this session!
