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.

  • dog with girl portrait

SE MN Senior Photographer Now Booking Class of 2018 {Southeast MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Sale, Seniors

As graduation nears for the Class of 2017, it’s time for the Class of 2018 to start thinking about their senior year.  Is scheduling senior portraits at the top of that To-Do list?  It should be! It’s definitely one of the fun things seniors get to do….  And  I absolutely love photographing graduating seniors!  These sessions bring me back to when I got my own portraits taken.  I like to think it wasn’t that long ago!  I do remember every moment, from picking my outfits, to finding the perfect location.  There is something special about this time in your life, and I do everything I can to make sure I capture your personality.

We have so much fun with our seniors and can’t wait to have some fun with the Class of 2018.  Every part of this process should be super fun: the consult, the prep (new clothes?), the photo session itself, sharing your online gallery with your family and friends and then getting to see your favorites in print to be hung on the wall and viewed for generations to come.

In addition to making clients look and feel the best they ever have,  Photography by Kari also focuses on telling your story.  I will get to know you through in-person consultations, client questionnaires, and parent input.

Booking early is important if you want a late summer or early fall session. These will book first and once they’re gone, they’re gone. With that said, mention you saw this blog post and book a June or July Senior session, get a set of 3, 3×3 Accordion Books with images from your session featured, a value of $100.  Appointments are limited and are subject to availability.  No cash value.  Only sessions rescheduled by photographer due to weather will still qualify for special pricing.  Any sessions rescheduled by the customer must be re-booked at regular rates if rescheduled date is not in June or July of 2017. Session retainer fees in full must be paid within 10 days of receiving the invoice and before the session.

 

Ready to schedule your senior pictures? Our calendar for 2018 senior portrait sessions is starting to fill.  Call or email us today to get more information or to book your session, 507.951.0640 or kari@photographybykari.com.  The Class of 2018…let me help tell YOUR story!

Perfectly Sweet and Sassy 3 Year Old Girl {SE MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Kids, Toddlers

I have been photographing this cutie since she was only a  newborn. “Are we done yet?” she asked a few times during the session. When the answer was “no” she would happily go back to doing whatever we asked.  She is perfectly sweet, perfectly sassy with a bit a shy mixed in, so cute. Such a fun age to photograph.

Mr H. Turned 3 {Stewartville MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Kids, Toddlers

Mr. H turned 3 last month, so for his portraits, we used his favorite things… superheroes… he had so, so many great expressions for his photos. Some of them came from Mr. H’s reactions to the “bad guys” upstairs (aka someone working on the apartment upstairs) and him having so us. So much fun! His Mom and Dad are going to have such a hard time choosing, I know I did.
