The Carpenter Family {Nashville Pet Photography}

This week on the blog, we have the Carpenter Family, including Laura and Jeremy with their sweet pup, Riley. We did this session at one of my favorite spots, Marcella Vivrette Smith Park.

With this blog, we celebrate life for two different reasons: Laura and Jeremy were expecting their sweet boy Heath Thomas, who is 10 months old now! But also, in the time that has passed since we took those photos, Riley has passed away. We celebrate the long life she had with her people! In these photos, she was 17.

To get to know this cute dog a little more… Riley also went by the name of “Riley-Roo”, and she loved cookies. She was such a resilient dog and the Carpenters loved her love of life. “We’ve been through a lot of big life events together.” They adopted Riley from the Humane Society of the Pikes Region in Colorado Springs, CO.

I hope you enjoy checking out some of my faves of this family below!

The Riordan Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

I hope you all received my most recent newsletter where you can find information about my fall mini sessions! If not, please go to that newsletter after you check out these great photos of the Riordan Family! They did a fall mini session last year at my house in College Grove. From this session, not only did they order prints and canvases, but Holiday Cards as well!

Meet Carol and Denis with their cute dog, Tegan. It had been a very long time since they had photos done together, and this was their first time bringing their dog along to be in the images!

Tegan was four at the time of this session. She loves her toys and treats, and is very playful. She is definitely a momma’s girl, and Carol loves that. Carol and Denis also love that she is so smart and full of life.

The Riordan family rescued this sweet pup from Critter Calvary via petfinder.

Attached are a few of my favorites from their fall session.

Courtney with Macy & Bella {Nashville Dog Photography}

This week on the blog, I am honoring two sweet pups in a celebration of life, sadly they both passed away last year. I share with you some of my favorite pics of a fall mini session I did with Courtney and her two dogs at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park .

Macy, aka Mace Dawg, was a 14 year old Yorkie at the time of the session. She got the name when Courtney was in college. Courtney loves that Macy had such a big personality and that she never left her side.

Bella was an 11 year old Collie/Spaniel/Setter mix that was abandoned close to Courtney’s parents' home in Alabama. She brought this cute dog back to Nashville with her. She was extremely well behaved and calm. Courtney could just tell that Bella was so grateful to be a part of the family! “Rescues make the best pets!”

As you enjoy the photos below, keep in mind that fall is right around the corner! I am working on my fall mini sessions schedule and Marcella Vivrette Smith Park will definitely be a location option again.
