Amy and Faulkner {Nashville Pet Photography}

This week on the blog are Amy and Faulkner. They might look familiar, as this is my sixth photo shoot with them, this time at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park. I am super excited because next week I will be photographing their seventh session during my Christmas tree farm minis! Amy - thank you for continuing to bring your sweet pup to me to photograph. I always look forward to our photo sessions! Please check out Amy and Faulkner’s very first photo session with me in 2014!

 Faulkner is a German shorthaired pointer and he’s 10 to 11 years old now. It’s basically unknown, but he has lovingly been with Amy for 8 plus years now. Faulkner was named after William Faulkner.

Here is what Amy had to say about Faulkner: He LOVES tennis balls. Any ball really, but a tennis ball that bounces or squeaks, and he is smitten. He has one in reach at all times of the day and night. Rain and storms are his least favorite thing…it turns him into a bit of a Nervous Nelly. But outside of that, Faulkner’s zest for life the moment he sees a tennis ball, the way he looks at it…you just can’t help but smile along with him!

Faulkner is a rescue, from a breed-specific rescue, Southeast German Shorthair Pointer Rescue.
Amy calls the breed “velcro dogs”, and have what she calls an on/off switch. They go at full speed until they just fall down and nap, which is how she describes how she lives her own life. Sounds like a perfect match to me!

Another cool thing about this breed is their natural instincts as a bird dog. “When he was younger he would flush and point, and it was so cool to see those instincts take shape! He is my first bird dog but will not be my last for sure!”

There is still one mini spot open at Smith Park on 10.10.21 and one on 11.6.21. Click here to book: https://book.usesession.com/i/-nPwGR6wF

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!
