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!

Kara & Cannon {Missouri Dog Photographer}

On the blog this week is a fun dog photography session I did near my hometown in Downtown Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Meet Kara and her little eight-year-old mutt Cannon! Kara found him at the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri, and while they told her he might be a terrier mix, her vet thought he was a schnauzer mix. Either way, he's got a unique, adorable look that you can't help but love!

Cannon loves to go for walks, eat delicious treats (such as frozen yogurt, carrots and strawberries), cuddling and chasing cats at Kara's parent's house. 

Kara loves how excited he is to greet her and cuddle with her when she gets home every day. She also thinks it's hilarious that he loves to bark when they drive past a house down the street that has three dogs -- "It cracks me up!"

When she adopted him, she was originally looking for a dog named Doober she saw on their website, but when she called, he had already been adopted. Luckily, they told her about Cannon, who was shaking in his kennel when she came to meet him. She was able to cheer him up by bringing him outside, and instantly the two were a pair. And he was the perfect gift for Kara's 30th birthday!

You can see just how much they have come to love each other in these pictures below.

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!
