Melissa, Mike and Miles {Nashville Dog Photography}

Whew…it has been a little while since I’ve shared a new blog, and I have missed sharing photos with you all! Unfortunately my facebook account was hacked and I couldn’t access my business page there, which I normally post all my blogs to. But, I am back (after starting a brand new business page) and ready to show you these very special photos of Melissa, Mike and Miles.

This is a celebration of the life of sweet Miles, who crossed the rainbow bridge last week. Miles is a Lab mix and was 12.5 years old in these photos. On his very first drive home with Melissa he got car sick and Melissa said, “Wow! He has been sick three times in five miles…MILES! That’s his name!” And so it was.

Miles loved cheese, belly rubs and always loved finding a dirty tennis ball. Melissa and Mike loved his kind eyes and sweet soul. Melissa adopted him from a friend who had an unplanned litter on her hands and she couldn’t be happier that she did!

“He’s a gentle giant. I love him so much.”

Coozie Howell {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Sweet Coozie recently had a mini session with me at Smith Park, one of my very favorite locations. Coozies full name is Coozie on the Spur, and she is a 2 year old Black Labrador Retriever.

Here are some fun facts about Coozie, from her pup parent, Therese:

How did you come up with the name for your pup?

We own a house on the Tennessee River, and the community is known as Peter's Landing. Our first Retriever was Bella of Peter's Landing, so we tried to come up with a name related to the river. I wanted to call her Tenn Lizzie, and she responded to the ZZZ sound in her name. But my husband came up with Coozie, since we use coozies at the river. The road our house is on is known as the Spur, so she became Coozie on the Spur!

What do your dog love most / like least?

Coozie loves food, treats, toys, and her family, and I think that is the order in which she loves them! She absolutely hates squirrels, and people walking by "her" property!

What's your favorite thing about her?

We love that Coozie is a "chill" lab - she's calm, and sometimes a little shy. And we like that she is smaller than most labs; she is fun-sized!

What do you love most about the breed?

Labrador Retrievers love people, dogs, food, and life! The breed is loyal, loving, and smart.

Hope you enjoy a few of my favorites of this sweet girl!

Harley & Courtney {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog this week is Harley & Courtney! Harley is 3 month old fox red Labrador retriever and is super adorable and very sweet!

Courtney says she was very undecided about his name at first and had several that she liked. Ultimately her mom started saying the name Harley and it eventually just stuck. Now she thinks it really suits him! He has a tough side but is also a very sweet and playful pup.

Currently, Harley's favorite thing to do is chew. He chews everything from shoes and furniture to walls and cabinets. His least favorite thing is leaving the dog park after playing with other dogs.

Courtney’s favorite thing about Harley is how excited he gets to see her in the mornings and when I come home from work. She says, “He's a funny little pup and he brightens my day everyday.” Her favorite thing about the breed is the energy, how loving they are, and how much they love water. Specifically with Harley, she fell in love with the color of his coat. “I like how unique it is!” 

Enjoy some favorites from their mini session!
