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.

Newborn Girl {SE MN Newborn Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

Happy Valentine’s day! I’m excited to share this adorable sweetie! Doesn’t she make the sweetest little Valentine? This sweet baby girl was a little older for her newborn portrait session. She was almost 4 weeks old for her newborn session because of the holidays and then we had to reschedule due to sickness as well. She gave us a wonderful mix of awake and sleepy photos. Those awake photos are some of my favorites… she is so alert! We had a great time and captured amazing memories for this family! Hope you enjoyed viewing these images!

Southeast Minnesota newborn portraits {SE MN Newborn Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

There is no bigger compliment than when a family comes back to me for more Southeast Minnesota newborn portraits with another newborn baby to photograph! I had the honor of photographing now big brother G’s newborn session and 1 year session years ago and now got to photograph the newest family member’s newborn session, too! I so enjoyed getting to capture sweet memories for this family.

Photographing families with their new baby is really about the best thing ever. And a large family makes it even better. We started with family photos as usual. We made sure to get photos of the whole family as well as photos of dad with baby and mom with baby. We then moved on to just photos of Miss H. She is the prettiest little lady.

Enjoy some of my favorites from her newborn portrait session.

Newborn Boy {Stewartville MN Newborn Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

This family has been really fun to watch grow. I photographed Mom’s senior portraits when she worked with me as an assistant, baby K’s big brother when he was a baby, and big sister when she was a newborn. Needless to say, this gorgeous family did not disappoint! From the color choices to incorporating their new puppy and Dad’s motorcycle I’m in love with everything about this session.

I love so many of the photos from his session…the smiles, baby k’s eye contact, and the puppy Zeus…. So perfect!

Newborn Portrait Session {MN Newborn Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

When your little one arrives, don’t forget to capture those sweet, early moments! They change so quickly! Full access to newborn wraps, outfits, headwear, props, etc. are all included when you book a Newborn Portrait Session with Photography by Kari!

You are also part of the styling process! Based on your preferences from a questionnaire we send out when you book your Newborn Portrait Sessions, we will put together a collection of images with colors and props to best match your personality and home decor!

Miss E and her parents came by the studio recently for her newborn portrait session! I love working with families and capturing these early moments with their new addition! She was so tiny and so sweet!  She did beautifully even when she was awake she was so content.   We made sure to use some colors as well as zoo animals to go with her nursery.  Here is a sneak peek at some of the moments we captured!

P.S. the elephant image is a composite of 2 images and Miss E was completely safe the entire time.
