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

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.

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.

Summer Country Portraits {Spring Valley MN Portrait Photographer}

So excited to get to share this session and that  we finally got a  day with no rain for this session.   I think we had to reschedule 4 times due to rain!  So, crazy!  Never have had that happen that many times before for one session.  But it all worked out in the end even if it was a little buggy.   (I even swallowed a bug, another first for me, YUK!)

Such a  beautiful and fun session with a Mom and her daughter and friends…..

3 Years Old {Stewartville Minnesota Portrait Photographer}

Miss “E” came to visit s last week on her 3rd birthday. Three year old children are so much fun to photograph, they are so full of life.  And Miss “E” was no different.  Loved being able to capture her spunky personality.

 

Her Grandma even brought cupcakes for the session and left some for us for after the session.  We may or may not have each eaten 2 cupcakes!  Yum!  Thanks, Joyce!

5 Months {Southeast MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

This sweet baby girl’s parents set some time away for a shoot while in Minnesota visiting family.  We had to reschedule as their plane got delayed in Virginia due to thunderstorms, but we got an absolutely beautiful day for the shoot because of it.

We were also able to take a 3 generation photo with her Grandmother who was visiting  from Bulgaria. =)

Family of 4 {Spring Valley Minnesota Family Portrait Photographer}

It’s always so fun for me to photograph families again and again.  I did both of the senior portraits for “J” and “K”, so it was great to be able to photograph the entire family this time.  And the icing on the cake was the most beautiful light and skies  at Forestville State Park! Enjoy!

2 Years Old {Grand Meadow Minnesota Toddler Portrait Photographer}

This past weekend I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with “B”  and his parents and capture some 2 year old portraits!   Love being able to see him at the studio as we have taken his portraits since he was 6 months old.  This time he wasn’t really into it, but he still gave us some good smiles.

He also had some news to share… he’s going to be a BIG BROTHER!  =)
