The biggest flaw of a puppy is that it grows up too quickly. In less than a year, most dogs go from a tiny little pup to a full sized dog. While you can’t freeze time, the second best thing is to capture those fleeting moments with a professional photography session. Harley the Red Fox Labrador Retriever is much bigger now than he was when Nashville pet photographer Mandy Whitley took these photos.
From Mandy: “Harley is so cute! Courtney wanted to capture some images of him while he is still small.”
From Courtney: “My puppy is named Harley. He is 3-month-old fox red Labrador Retriever. I was very undecided about his name at first and had several that I liked. Ultimately my mom started saying the name Harley and it eventually just stuck. Now I think 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. My favorite thing about Harley is how excited he gets to see me in the mornings, and when I come home from work. He’s a funny little pup, and he brightens my day every day.
My favorite thing about the breed is the energy, how loving they are, and how much they love water. Specifically, with Harley, I fell in love with the color of his coat. I like how unique it is!”

OMG Harley is seriously so cute. I love his little face. And your pictures are so good. This reminds me of when my little black lab Khloe was a baby- so sweet looking. I think I need another lab.

I just love red labs, they are so cute. What a fun photo shoot, I wish I had done something like this with my dogs when they were little. I may have to think about doing this with dogs I adopt in the future.
