Excited to announce my latest cover with Nashville Lifestyles! Luke and Harley were the winners of the annual cover dog contest and I just love how everything turned out! They are seriously sweet Bloodhounds who love car rides and relaxing with their mom and dad. You can pick up the magazine at local book stores, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Kroger, etc. The issue also has great local pet resources and many other cute dogs that came out to the cover dog search at Cheekwood. A huge thanks to Shannon at the beautiful Southall Eden! She was gracious to let us shoot the cover at her gorgeous farm in Leiper’s Farm. If you’re getting married, give her a call. Thanks for looking

Dobermans may have a reputation for being ferocious dogs, but that could not be further from the truth for Jack and Savannah! When I arrived for our dog session, they greeted me at the door with toys in mouth. They are incredibly loving and so sweet! Jack and Savannah are litter mates, 8 years old and loved immensely by their dog moms.

This is Jack – lover of toys, lounging in the back yard and ice cream.

Here’s sweet Savannah – loves playing in water, tennis balls and belly rubs.

We’re back with more Frenchies! Meet Pearl. She is a five-month-old French Bulldog puppy loved dearly by her dog mom. This little puppy is as cute as they come! She’s spunky, inquisitive, fast and of course sweet. I’ve known Devon for a couple of years and I’m so glad she chose to have Pearl photographed as a puppy. Dogs lose their puppy looks so quickly and it’s always nice to have puppyhood documented. We all had such a great time! Thanks so much to Cheekwood for letting us shoot here! Their gardens are gorgeous this time of year.

Is there a dog that’s funnier than a French Bulldog? I mean, seriously. What other dog blows bubbles, grumbles, snorts and talks to you? Sessions with Frenchies are never short on entertainment! I love these little brothers. Buddy (the black brindle Frenchie) was first in the family and guess what Santa brought him for Christmas? Why a little puppy playmate – Itty Bitty! They drove in from Jackson for our session. Even though the drive tired out Itty, they still had a great time together, and I’m so glad they came to Nashville.

These dogs sure love Spring! We met up on a beautiful Saturday morning and had fun playing in the flowers. Asia and Kinjie are Japanese Chins (aka: Gremlin dogs!). You may recognize Maggie, a Golden mix, who despite her young looks is 13! (She was adopted by this mother and daughter locally from Love at First Sight.) I love photographing dogs this time of year. Everything is alive and the weather is perfect. Enjoy these

Spring has definitely sprung in Nashville! And that means tick season is brewing as well.
