Mia & Nolan {Southeast Missouri Portrait Photographer}

Sometimes I really can't believe how fast time flies by! I recently had the opportunity to take portraits for Mia and Nolan on my family's farm in Missouri. Her mom and I went through school together and were roommates in college, and now Mia is officially a teenager!

I've photographed her for forever, and it's so hard to believe how grown up she is now. She even brought her dog Nolan along for a few adorable photos with him!

Nolan is 17 years old and is a toy poodle. His favorite thing to do these days is napping with his humans. I  had so much fun capturing the two of them together.  Mia even toughed it out by dipping her feet in the freezing creek water!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their photo session!

The Thieret Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

On the blog this week is another fun family photography session near my hometown in Cape Girardeau, Missouri!

Nicki and I go way back -- we've known each other since pre-kindergarten! I love getting the chance to work with her, her husband Jeff, their two boys (Jake and Zach) and their sweet pups (Cooper and Pepper). 

Cooper is a 7-year-old lab mix rescue from the Humane Society in Pine Bluff Arkansas. He's very laid back and loves to be petted while laying next to you. And if you stop for even a moment, he'll keep nudging you with his nose until you start again. Unfortunately, he also loves to roll in cow dung -- definitely not a fun thing to clean up!

Pepper is a 3-year-old west highland terrier and the only other gal in the house. She's feisty, doesn't realize how small she is, and loves being the dominant dog. She can also run like the wind, which makes it hard to catch her when necessary. Thankfully, she's a cuddler, and loves to snuggle with Nicki at the end of the day. 

I hope you enjoy these favorites from their family session!

Mia, Abby & Nolan! {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Sometimes I just seriously cannot believe how fast time flies! This is Mia, the daughter of one of my LONG time friends. She is turned 11 last Friday! I have been photographing her since she was little and I just can't believe she is 11 years old! 

We photographed this session at Azalea Farm in Oak Ridge, Missouri. She was joined by her pups Abby, a collie, and Nolan, a toy poodle. 

Happy {Belated} Birthday, Mia!
