Barney & Mick - East C.A.N. Adoptables {Nashville Dog Photographer}

January 28, 2014 Mandy2

I promised a lot of dogs on the blog this week and that is exactly what you are going to get! Up on today's blog are two sweet, big boys - Barney & Mick! First up is sweet, happy, energetic Barney. He currently lives in a foster home with 8 other animals. Yep, you read that right. So, Barney is very animal friendly. He had some super sweet playtime with a very little puppy while I was there photographing him. Barney is about 1 year old and really loves to play.

He's just a lovable goofball! He has been neutered and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. Barney wants nothing more than to be near his leader and will wait patiently for instruction once he knows what’s being asked of him. Trying to play fetch with him is hysterical. He will chase the ball…but only for a second before he runs straight back to his person with those eyes begging for acceptance and love. There really is something special about this boy, and we can’t wait to see him flourish in a home that gives him the life he deserves. He will be an amazing companion!

Next up is Mick. He is a gorgeous big boy with the softest fur ever. Seriously, it feels like velvet. And those ears!! A very handsome boy for sure. Mick came into East C.A.N. when a member saw him get hit by a car. He managed to survive the accident without any major injuries! Simply put, this boy is amazing. He’s bounced back from his accident so well and he’s a sweet guy who wants nothing more than to hang out with you and get a belly rub or an ear scratch.

He’s a big strong guy, so he would likely do best with older children, but he’s also a gentle enough soul that he should be fine with younger children with proper supervision. He’s smart, very eager to please, and very responsive when you tell him what he’s supposed to do. He also LOVES treats, which helps so much with training. He’s crate trained and is learning his leash manners. Mick weighs about 65 pounds, he’s fully vetted, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped.

If you’re interested in offering Barney or Mick a forever home, please contact info@eastcan.org. Learn more about the adoption process at East C.A.N.'s website - while you're there check out all the sweet adoptables (more pics coming to the website soon!)

Opie, Jax & Roger {Nashville Dog Photographer}

January 27, 2014 Mandy2

You are going to see a lot of sweet dogs on the blog this week! First up are the two super cute babies we are fostering right now - Opie & Jax! (Yes, we do love to name pups after our favorite TV shows). Opie (the fluffy boy) and Jax (the smaller pup) are 2 out of 4 puppies rescued along with their momma, Sassy, last weekend at an abandoned house.

The puppies are only 6-7 weeks old now, which makes them the youngest we've ever fostered. Also, this is our first time with two puppies at once! The puppies are healthy, sweet, and curious little guys. They've had their first round of shots and are weighing in at 5 pounds. Their mom is a small brown heinz 57 - a true mix and we have no idea who their dad is. They are ready to go to their forever homes!

I also photographed several of East C.A.N.'s adult dogs last weekend and am so excited to share them on the blog this week as well. Starting off the week we have Roger! Roger is a fun loving, energetic, 11 month old pup that loves to hike, walk, play, and canoe. He's a black & white mix weighing about 40 pounds. He is great at the dog park and loves playing with his foster brother and sister. He aims to please and is a great learner.

This was so true during his photo shoot - he was really trying to figure out what we wanted him to do! He knows how to sit, stay, and a partial rollover. He is on the East C.A.N. website as adoption pending, but that is no longer the case- Roger's potential adopters had a change of situation and could not complete the adoption process.

If you are interested in these sweet boys please contact me or go directly to East C.A.N.'s website and fill out an application. All applications for introductions to the dogs and puppies are based on who put in the application first, so don't delay!

Also, I know that the wonderful ladies of East C.A.N. are doing a lot of updating to the website this week - so if you don't see these pups on there just yet don't worry!

Meet Opie. I mean come on, how sweet is this face!

And here's Roger - love those ears - very Yoda! :)

Laura & Josh's Farm Wedding {Kentucky Wedding Photographer}

January 3, 2014 Mandy2

This outdoor wedding was so personalized and beautiful! I love all the details Laura & Josh put into the day, and even though we had a tiny bit of rain during the day it landed perfectly between the ceremony and reception-causing no problems at all. From the hand painted ring boxes to the hand written chalkboard (in leu of programs) everything looked great!

Laura & Josh were married in Hopkinsville, Kentucky at a gorgeous home of a friend. They choose to do a first look in the front of the house (with all the bridesmaids looking on from the windows upstairs - so cute!). Laura & Josh are seriously two of the sweetest most laid back people ever. Their small family wedding in the afternoon reflected how much their family and closest friends care about them. They had a larger group at the tented reception that evening in the backyard for dancing & celebrating!

I can't wait to share the amazing details and vendors that helped make this day perfect! Onto the fun stuff- the photos (and there are many, many photos :)

Thanks for looking!
