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.

Hey, I’m still here. {SE MN Pet Photographer}

Posted in Pets

Hey, I’m still here. You might have noticed that I have been rather absent in July and the past few weeks. We’ve just been busy with sessions; family, children, and seniors, and we have also been at the studio doing some cleaning and organizing, which is a never-ending process with all of our stuff. 😉


I can not believe how fast the summer is going. I feel like it just started and here we are at the end of it already and with a taste of fall weather this week, too. Because of how quickly summer has gone by and our schedule, I was never able to post about doing Pet Quick Minis for our local and national portrait contest next month.


I actually haven’t even had time to take any photos of my dog, Maverick, for the contest, but I did go out in our woods last night to get some portraits of him. When out there, we came across our wild barn kittens and the one stuck around long enough for me to capture this photo. I hadn’t seen them before beyond seeing the back of them running into the barn. This kitten has some really interesting markings. Such a pretty kitten. And those eyes….


If you would like to participate, please send us a message and we will get you on our schedule. It will be $40 for a 15-minute session and an 8×10 print of your favorite image. If you have already had a session and your pet participated, let me know if you’d like to enter a photo of your pet.

Family Pets {SE M Pet Family Portrait Session}

Posted in Pets

A little late to the blogging this family session. They came in right before we had to shut down last spring. Then once we re-opened, we got busy and I neglected to share many sessions from the spring, summer, and fall. I hope to share as many of the sessions as I can over the next few weeks.

We loved everything about this studio family pet portrait session. Photographing Jill, Terry, and their fur babies, Lucy, Norman, Posey, and Forest was an honor and so much fun. It truly doesn’t get much better than this!

We all love our pets and want to remember them and portraits help celebrate the happiness and joy our pets bring to our lives. Love when people bring their pets with them to sessions or book a session all for their fur baby.

Happy Halloween {Southern MN Dog Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Pets, Updates

For the first time in 11 years, we didn’t do Halloween photos at the studio. Seems odd to not be busy taking photos of all the kiddos dressed up, so I did some composites of Maverick instead. ?Happy Halloween, everyone!?????????????????

Blizzard 2014 {Spring Valley MN Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Dogs, Personal, Pets

 

Oh my goodness…………snow, snow,  and more snow!  While most of us are getting sick of winter this year at this point, we have to admit it sure is pretty outside.

 

Since I was stuck at home and stuck at the door really, Jackson was my model.  He loved being outside at first and for those that know him, know that he pretty much always carrying something in his mouth….

After the fun started to wear off, he looks like he is wondering why are we outside in this?  Fine, I’ll model for you!  Starting to hate me…K a few more…..Okay, really, I am done, I want to go inside and lay by the wood stove!  And the next day.  All taken through a window from inside my warm house…. lol

Love this one and what the sun setting through the trees did to the icicles.
