Cover Dog from Nashville Lifestyles {Nashville Pet Photographer}

May 12, 2016 mandy whitley

I am excited to introduce you to the Nashville Lifestyles Cover Dog, Amos! Amos and his mom, Lauren, won the Nashville Lifestyles cover contest. I had such a fun time photographing their cover session at Cheekwood!

"Amos is sweet and energetic. A mere 20 months old, he's not the pint-sized lap dog he believes himself to be. With a home base in downtown Franklin, Amos enjoys making friends all over Nashville. From his own backyard to exploring downtown, he regularly turns on the charm in order to win treats. He greets his neighbors by propping up on the fence and convincing passersby to play fetch with him." - from Nashville Lifestyles

Lauren adopted Amos from Night Magic Danes in Georgia. Here's what she had to say about her pup in their magazine interview:

"He loves walks, so we walk downtown a lot and he always is like a superstar. He gets lots of attention. Everyone wants to ask me how much he weighs, whats his name, how much does he eat, and what breed he is because he's so big!"

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from Amos's cover shoot!

March 9, 2016 mandy whitley

It's that time of year again!

This sweet, distinguished pup is named Ryman, and he was the winner of the 2015 Nashville Lifestyles Cover Dog Contest at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Ryman is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever - isn't he adorable? He was so sweet and oh my gosh that bow tie! How cute! I loved photographing him for the cover of Nashville Lifestyles last year and meeting his wonderful people, Sara and Peter.

The 2016 contest is this Saturday, March 12th and was just moved to the rain plan location which is the Green Hills Mall from 8am-10am. *please note the time change as well.

If you enter the mall between the container store & panera and you will be sure to find us. I will be photographing the event so be sure to stop by and say "hi" to me!

I will also be photographing the winner for the 2016 cover, and I'm super excited about that - I can't wait to see you all there!

Nashville Lifestyles Cover Dog Contest {Nashville Dog Photographer}

May 8, 2013 Mandy2

I had the pleasure of being one of the photographers at this year's Nashville Lifestyles cover dog contest at Cheekwood! Always a fun event - no matter what the weather is like! This year we had pups and their people braving the wind and rain for a chance to win & we had a great time! So many cute pups - I seriously have no idea how anyone could choose between them all, I'm glad that wasn't my job!

I'm also happy to announce that the winners were all pups that I got to photograph that day! The overall winner was Bella (a Scottish Terrier), the reader's choice winner was Sadie (A Miniature Labradoodle), and the Nutro winners for healthiest skin and coat (Chloe a German Shorthaired Pointer) and healthiest smile (Cooper the Australian Shepard).

Now - onto the fun stuff - pup photos!
