The Swarr Kids {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I can't wait to share with you these photos from an adorable mini session with the Swarr kids and their new puppy, Ace!

Meet Hudson (age 9), Caroline (7), Spencer (4), and of course Ace (who is only 16 weeks!). All three kids like to say they came up with the name Ace and often debate about who came up with it first! His full name is Ace Calhoun Swarr and he's a sweet, little Conton de Tulear. 

I also think it's super cute that each of the Swarr kids have their own opinions and thoughts about Ace & what the best things about him are. Hudson loves how cute, fluffy and nice Ace is with everyone and also thinks Ace loves all of his chew toys. Caroline says that her number one wish of her entire life came true when Ace joined the family this summer and proclaims that Ace loves to be active and isn't a fan of house-breaking training. Spencer, on the other hand, states that his favorite thing is playing with Ace and believes Ace loves to ride in the car more than anything else! 

I hope you love these favorites on the blog this week!

The Schroeder Family {Nashville Family Photographer}

On the blog this week is an adorable mini session with the Schroeder Family! Meet Ed, Tammy and their dog Cece. 

Cece was nothing but smiles for their portraits, which was a surprise Mother's Day gift for Tammy! Cece is a two-year-old beagle/dachshund mix and absolutely loves digging in the backyard and playing fetch. I thought it was cute to hear how she's afraid of shadows and sometimes even barks at them!

Ed and Tammy both love her mischievous personality and found her through Love at First Sight, a rescue organization here in Nashville. Take a look at the furry friends they have up for adoption online or donate to help other pets find forever homes!

The Paulk Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

On the blog this week is the Paulk family! I had so much fun capturing portraits of Nicole, her mom Irmgard, and their three pups (Chloe, Lexi Kate, and Coco) this summer at my home in Nashville. 

Chloe is an 11-year-old cocker spaniel who has youthful happiness, limitless energy and some adorable paws! She has two true loves: any and all kinds of food, and her toy bunny. She also thinks baths are utterly pointless. Not only did Nicole name her Chloe after wanting a quintessential French name, she also added a middle name of Noël, since she was brought to her new home in the month of December. 

Lexi Kate is a four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and loves being in your lap the most.  She dislikes the rain and completely refuses to go out in it. What Nicole loves most about Lexi Kate is her resilience, soft fur and laugh. Although the name 'Lexi' was given to her by her rescue heroes from the Cavalier Rescue of Alabama on her freedom day, Nicole added the second name of Kate in honor of her first Cavalier, Katie.

And little Coco is 13 years old and a poochon who was found wandering the streets one day and now has a forever home! They named her Coco because of her hot-chocolate colored fur. She loves naps and toys, and is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms. Nicole says she loves her powder puff tail, the way she runs, and the way she listens to you when you talk to her. 

The day of our session was also a special time to celebrate with photos, since it was Irmgard's birthday! I hope you enjoy these favorites from their mini session with me!
