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.

It’s the Big ONE! {Spring Valley MN One Year Old Baby Portrait Photographer}

It’s the big one! We missed his 9-month session from quarantine but was so glad we were able to open in time to capture his one-year photos and do a cake smash as well. I usually am amazed at how much our watch me grow babies grow and change in the 3 months between us seeing them but not seeing Mr. C in 6 months, he grew so, so much. But one thing that did not change is his big smile. Such a happy little guy!

And check out the modified cake his Mom and her friend did with a part of Mr. C’s parent’s wedding cake. They did such a good job turning the wedding cake into a fishing themed cake. Such a special cake to use for his cake smash.

P.S. The water is photoshopped in.

One Year Old Boy {Grand Meadow MN Portrait Photographer}

How cute is this little guy?!  I adore those big blue eyes,  all his expressions and his growl.  He even showed me how old he was,1!   We had so much fun celebrating Mr. L’s  first birthday back in January.    His cake smash was done in some of my favorite colors.  I just love those blues and greens. He also got to wear the same onesie his brothers have worn for their cake smashes.  Such a great tradition and we’ve had the opportunity to photograph each of them.

One Year Old Girl {SE MN Children’s Portraits}

Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye for one of our Watch Me Grow Sessions. We ended the year of sessions every 3 months with a one year session at their beautiful home and celebrated her birthday with a fun cake smash.

One Year Old Boy {SE MN Baby Portrait Photographer}

Adorable one year old who as you can see was being a little shy in the beginning, but it made for such a cute photo with his big brother.

Love the number “1” Paige painted for his cake smash set. It turned out perfect!

Mr “C” turns One Year Old {SE MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Aww…  Love his lashes and his hand placement. 

 

 

The best part  was his  cake smash, he was so serious and looked adorable trying to get the frosting off his hands.
