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.

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.

A Whole Hand {Rochester Minnesota Children’s Photographer}

Some of you may recognize Mr. “M”.  I’ve seen him many times over the last few years.  It’s hard to believe he’ll be 5 soon.  Time sure flies! The first time we did pictures of “M”, he was 2 and was in “love” with my assistant, Alyx.  Do you remember that, Al? =)

Thank you! {Spring Valley Minnesota Photography Business}

Thank you EVERYONE for coming and checking out the studio on Saturday.  I hope you enjoyed seeing the studio and eating some fabulous Mexican food from El Carambas and cake from Gwen Ravenhorst, cookies from Jill Klepper, and bars from Lucille Daggett.

I especially would like to thank my staff who have worked tirelessly on getting the studio ready the last few weeks. There is no way this would have been able to happen without them.  You guys did an amazing job!

Also, a BIG thank you to my family and friends for your help and support.   Thank you so much for everything!

Lastly, congratulations to Chelsie V. for winning the $105 gift card and to Jackie K. for the $400 gift card.  I’ll be mailing  cards out to you this week.
