The Owens Family {Nashville Dog Photography}

The Owens Family and I headed to the Ellington Agriculture Center for some beautiful fall photos with their dogs! I love how the colors in the background go perfectly with the outfits they chose.

The people: Carly and Nate. The Pets: Dobby and Waffle.

Dobby is a 3-year-old Corgi mix. Carly named him after Dobby the House Elf from the Harry Potter series because that was her favorite character in the series. Dobby is her baby :). He is extremely energetic and loves food of any kind! He also loves people and will play fetch for hours. Dobby really hates being woken-up or having his feet touched. Carly’s favorite things about him are his intelligence and loyalty! He is almost too smart at times and would follow her anywhere!

Waffle is an 8-month old Great Pyrenees. She is named Waffle because Nate just said it, and well, it just fit. Waffle was supposed to be the Owens’ very first foster, but after 15 minutes, Nate asked if they could keep her! Waffle loves food, being outside, and cuddling. She thinks she still weighs ten pounds, and therefore, she must be a lapdog! She loves to climb on people’s lap. Waffle is the opposite of her brother and seems to love everything. Carly’s favorite thing about her is that she gives boops with her noise instead giving kisses.

I hope you enjoy the cute dog photos below.

Christy and Harley {Nashville Pet Photographer}

This week on the blog, we have Christy and Harley. We had our session at the at Ellington Agriculture Center in Nashville, TN, one of my favorite locations. This post celebrates the life of this sweet little pug, Harley. He passed away pretty soon after our session.

Harley was 13 and a half at the time these cute dog photos with Christy were taken. He is named after none other than the motorcycle! This sweet boy loved bananas, and he really disliked nothing. Christy described him as “funny, loving, never met a stranger, and could bring a smile to anyone's face.” She said, “and I mean ANYONE’s face!” This is 100% true.

Christy’s favorite things about Harley was his personality and unconditional love. He made a great companion. Another great thing-pugs love everyone!

Christy said she wanted the photos to 'show the love' between herself and Harley. I think we did just that :).

The Bach Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Meet the Bach family: Jamie and Courtney along with baby Harper and their cute pup, Coors. Their photos were taken in September at my home in College Grove. We had a good time getting some great family shots of everyone and some cute dog photos! The last pic here was an outtake the Bach’s used on their Christmas cards this past year, which I just love!

Coors is a white Labrador retriever who got his name from - you guessed it - the beer, of course! Coors loves tennis balls and food. However, he really does not like other dogs! The Bach’s favorite thing about Coors is that he is so patient, great with kids, and he is loyal. You can see below that he really is a sweet pup around kids. He and Harper look like they are great friends.

Harper loves just about everything, (including her pup), but is especially into bubbles and music right now.

Enjoy some of my faves of this sweet family!
