The Zhang Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

On the blog this week is the Zhang family: Jenny and Jason with their pup, Chubie! They even brought Jenny’s parents along for the session. Some the photos were be a gift for her dad’s birthday!

Chubie is an English Cream golden retriever. She was about 12 weeks old in the pictures below. That was last October, so I know she has grown quite a bit since then! Chubie got her name from “Chu”, which is the sound for a kiss in Japanese. She loves eating off her snuffle mat and belly rubs.

Jenny and Jack love pretty much everything about her and love that this breed of dog is super friendly, eager to please, and beautiful (they particularly love her fan-like fluffy tail!). Chubie is a very well behaved and her temperament is sweet and calm. She follows Jenny around everywhere is very good company.

Chubie is from a breeder called Misty Valley Goldens near Chattanooga.

And a big surprise for Chubie: Jenny and Jack are expecting so she will be a big sister! Congratulations you guys!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

The Hatfield Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Meet Allyson and her parents with pups Georgia and Emma! Allyson won this session at the Pedigree Foundation Fundraising Event I donated to. She was able to schedule her session time when her parents were in town so they could be part of it as well!

Georgia is a six and a half year old American Staffordshire terrier/boxer/collie/Great Pyrenees mix. She was named after Curious George because she is also very curious. Georgia is a lover and loves attention and snuggles.

Emma is a six year old golden retriever/American Staffordshire terrier/boxer/chow chow mix. Emma was already “Emma” when she joined the family and it seemed to fit. She is a free spirit, loves to play and be praised.

Allyson loves that both of her pups have a great personality, are loyal, and give unconditional love. While they have two breeds in common (American Staffordshire terrier and boxer), Allyson finds it amazing that they are so different in looks and personality.

Georgia and Emma are both rescues. Georgia came from Home at Last Animal Rescue and Emma from New Life Animal Rescue.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Eva, Mayzie, and Roxy {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Meet Eva and her sweet girls! She brought along her two cuties, Mayzie and Roxy, for an outdoor photo session last fall. She has had both of these pups for over ten years!

Mayzie is a twelve year old Boston terrier given up by her owners as a puppy because she had a lot of behavior problems. Eva was planning to foster her for a little while but realized she would have a tough time finding a home because of her mental and behavioral issues, so Eva decided to keep her. While she is the “sweetest, smartest dog” Eva has had, she is definitely the most challenging on a daily basis. Eva says it is worth it, as she is also very loving and loves to snuggle. Her favorite things to do include licking everything she can and chasing squirrels.

Eva’s other girl, Roxy, is an eleven year old mutt. Her DNA test shows that she is 50% Boston terrier, 25% Pomeranian and 12.5% each of Havanese and shih tzu. Roxy, who goes by Roo, loves belly rubs more than anything in the world. She also appreciates a good game of fetch, and she’s great at snuggling and befriending new people. She was rescued from a shelter in Jefferson County, TN in 2010.

Eva loves that her girls are always happy to see her and provide unconditional love and support.

Take a look at some of my favorite photos from our session!
