The Ward Family {Nashville Pet Photography}

On the blog this week: Steve and Dana Ward with their Great Dane, Reginald Endicott Barclay IV (Barclay for short) . We did a mini session at my home in College Grove last fall.

Dana told me Barclay is named after an extremely nerdy, goobery Star Trek character. Barclay loves snuggles more than anything in the world, which is something the Wards love about the Dane breed. “Danes are the most loving, snuggly, companionable breed ever.” This Great Dane hates the water and rain. The Wards told me he is the only dog they have ever met that actually sticks his bottom lip out and pouts when he’s mad.

Enjoy some of my favorites!

The Huse Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I thought a little Christmas in July would be a nice treat on the blog today. Meet the Huse Family: Laura-Kate, Collin and their two Chihuahuas. I took these photos last fall at Sarah Benson Park in Thompson’s Station, hence all the leaves and the adorable Christmas sweaters!

“All of our dogs are named with Star Wars names.” Pictured below are Yoda and Luke. They had another sweet boy, Chewy, but he passed away a few years ago. The Star Wars names are so fun! Luke came from the TN Russell Rescue in Spring Hill. He is a 3ish year old rescued chihuahua (they did the DNA test, 100% chihuahua). Luke has so many great things about him: He is spunky, opinionated and a master cuddler. He is loyal, and he enjoys nothing more than sitting on the couch cuddling.

Yoda came from the rescue Cauzican in Tallahassee Florida. Yoda is a 4ish year old rescued chihuahua (also 100% from DNA test). He is so smart, patient, and has the most gentle and kind heart. He LOVES being outside, going on long walks, and napping in a sunny window.

All of the Huse Family Chihuahua’s are rescues. Chihuahuas tend to be misunderstood, but the Huse Family knows what wonderful family members they are! They respond best to patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of love.

Enjoy a few of my favorites from our session!

Kara and Cannon {Southeast Missouri Dog Photographer}

A few times a year, I get the chance to offer mini sessions in the Southeast Missouri area. (I am from there and go visit quite a bit). Last fall, I had the pleasure of photographing Kara and Cannon at my favorite spot in Daisy, Missouri: the Hahs Farm. This isn’t their first time on the blog; they here back in 2017. You can read about Cannon’s adoption story and see those pics by clicking here!

Kara found Cannon at the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri. He is eleven years old and could be a terrier mix or schnauzer mix. Either way, we think he is pretty darn cute!

Cannon loves to go for walks, eat delicious treats, cuddling and chasing cats at Kara's parent's house. 

Enjoy some of my faves below!
