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.

Gracie ’17 {Spring Valley MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Gracie had some ideas and I had some of my own. Together I think we nailed it! She’s a beautiful girl who enjoys playing volleyball, her favorite sport basketball and softball. And if you haven’t noticed- she’s a MN farm girl at heart! Love that! I grew up on a farm, my parents didn’t have cows, but my Uncle Bud milked at our farm until I was about 15, so I was always down in the barn doing the chores with him and my Grandpa, usually. Some of my favorite memories come from being in our barn working beside my family.

Gracie, it was such a joy to capture you during your senior portraits! Thank you to you and your Mom for choosing Photography by Kari. I’m truly blessed! I know you will do great things with your life and I hope you always remember your roots.

Twin 1 Year Portraits {SE MN Twin Children’s Portrait Photographer}

It was great watching these two grow up over their first year with their Watch Me Grow Session. Hard to believe, but I think they grew to look more like each other as they got older. They are as adorable as can be!

I LOVE the props Paige made for this adorable Super Mario and Luigi cake smash. Watching them eat their cake was very entertaining to see, they even had to sample each others cakes.

And a big congrats to Mom and dad for surviving the first year!

Xena ’17 {SE MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Here’s a look back at some of my favorite images from Xena’s senior portrait session. We met in Lanesboro and went to the park and we got lots of beautiful fall colors and then headed to one of the theaters she performs at there. So much fun! Love being able to really highlight what our high school seniors are into.  Enjoy!
