National Adorable Children and Pawsitively Adorable Contest Winners {SE MN Photographer}

Posted in Contest, Dogs, Kids

We are proud to announce we had 9 winners in the National portion of the Adorable Children and Pawsitively Adorable contests. The National portion of the contest took place at the lab and was judged by a panel of judges based on quality, appearance, charm, expression, and personality.

In the National Pawsitively Adorable contest…

We had First Place for Me & My Human. They won a $100 Visa gift card.

We had Second Place for Newborns. They won a $75 Visa Gift Card.

We had a Third Place for Dogs. They won a $50 Visa Gift Card.

We had an Honorable Mention for dogs. Super exciting as this is my dog, Maverick. We won a $25 Visa Gift Card.

We had an Honorable Mention in Buddies. They won a $25 Visa Gift Card.

In the National Adorable Children contest…..

We had a Second Place for Bloopers. They won a $75 Visa Gift Card.

We had a Third Place for Bloopers. They won a $50 Visa Gift Card.

We had a Third Place for 13 Months- 2 Years. They won a $50 Visa Gift Card.

We had an Honorable Mention for 9-12 Years. They won a $25 Visa Gift Card.

The lab where these took place is having some website issues, but as soon as we can see the other winners, I will post them here, too. Congratulations, everyone! Thanks for participating and voting! =)

And since we did not do the local portion of the Pawsitively Adorable as it was mostly my assistant’s dogs and family pets, and I had not posted the Pawsitively Adorable images, these are the other images we submitted. So they each received a 16×20 print from their session.

Capturing the Strength and Determination of Young Girl Wrestlers {MN Sports Photographer}

Posted in Sports

We had the incredible opportunity to photograph a recent sports portrait session featuring two exceptional young girl wrestlers. What made this session even more unique was the use of smoke and gels to create dynamic and captivating images.

Today they wrestled at NYWA Girls State and they both placed 2nd! This achievement is a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and the unwavering support of their coaches, families, and teammates.

Girl wrestlers are breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be strong and resilient, and I am grateful to have been able to capture a glimpse of their journey through my lens.

Additionally, one of the girls is also involved in dance, so I crafted a unique half-and-half image to showcase her love for both sports.

Here’s to celebrating the incredible achievements of these young athletes and honoring their inspiring commitment to excellence!

We are using the same site used this fall for orders. If you have a student on the team, you will/should have received an email from the coach/advisor with the link, access code, and 2 PDF files, one is a step-by-step on how to order and the other has a code for free shipping. I also added a video walkthrough if you are having trouble ordering.

The gallery will expire, on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.

These orders will also be shipped directly to you from the lab. These orders are sent automatically to the lab, we will not see them, so no changes can be made once an order has been placed. Please double-check your order and crop of photos before completing your order. Only order the team photos as 10×20’s, if you order as another size, it will cut the photo off as shown in the preview before confirming, what you see on the confirmation screen is what you will get.

If you have any questions or did not get the email from the coach/advisor, please let me know.

P.S. If you still have old posters to pick up, they will be in the concession stands at the remaining home basketball games.
