Amy & Faulkner {Nashville Pet Photographer}

These two faces are very familiar on the blog! I have loved photographing Amy and Faulkner through the past several years (see some of their past sessions here & here). It's so fun to see clients year after year! This year Faulkner and Amy joined me for a Fall mini session. I think Faulkner, who is a German Shorthair Pointer, is so handsome! Amy decided to bring some reindeer ears, which she and Faulkner both wore at different times during the session. How fun! 

Enjoy a few of my favorites from this Nashville pet session!

Caventine's Day Pawty | Valentine's Celebration with the Nashville Cavaliers

Oh my goodness friends, you will be ready to adopt a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel after this post! This sweet and festive party was planned for the Nashville Cavaliers, and we had 30 dogs and their owners at this Caventine's Day Pawty. Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard?? We had everything needed for the perfect Valentine's celebration--doggie and human treats, a kissing booth, a heart shaped water bowl station, and a selfie station! The dogs, and their people, all had so much fun!  

Let me tell you, these pups are all such models! And Cavaliers, of course, are some of the happiest dogs you'll meet! I am sure that these photographs will make you smile!

I want to thank all the amazing vendors who were a part of this pawty!

RARE Pet Adoption {Nashville Dog Photographer}

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

Here's more information about R.A.R.E., "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 Dutchess, a 3-4 year old, 35 pound staffordshire mix. Dutchess is completely crate trained and loves dogs, cats, and children! Dutchess has a heart as big as her smile. She really wants to be a part of a family, especially if they love puppy kisses.  And don't you just love her surprise face!

Up next we have Rocko, an 11 month old Bull Terrier mix! Rocko is good with kids and he loves people! Rocko wanted us to mention that he really needs a fenced in yard or an active walker/runner for exercise because, as we all know, maintaining a Hollywood figure isn't easy. Rocko is totally crate trained and super smart!

And last but not least we have Copperhead, or Copper for short. I'm a hunka-hunka burning love....87 pounds of love that is! I'm around 3 years old, but still a bit of a clown and I enjoy making people laugh. I love me some people! I just can't get enough of having my ears scratched, my nose kissed and my belly rubbed.
