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.

“MMMM” {Rochester MN Children’s Photographer}

“C” was so cute during her cake shots, she kept saying “mmm” the entire time she ate her cupcake.  It must have been good!  =)

It’s so fun to see one of my newborn clients turn 1!  Just seeing how they’ve grown and their new  budding personality.  One year olds really are so sweet.  They are just so happy to be hanging out…  Some also are also constantly on the move, but “C” was content with staying wherever we put her.  So, it made for an easy shoot.

 

Do you happen to remember this little one?   Here’s a shot we did with her grandfather’s hat this year….  undefinedAnd here she is last year in a similar set up…  Also, here’s a link to her newborn blog post. undefinedundefined

Looking Forward to Summer {Southeast Minnesota Children’s Photographer}

I’ve had a few camera cards with family candids laying on my desk since this past summer,  knowing I needed to get them onto my computer still.   I finally got around to it on Friday.  Last summer, I got to spend my days hanging out with my little cousins every other week.  We spent a lot of time outside, swimming, having water balloon fights,  doing sidewalk chalk art, picking flowers, and probably the most time was spent up in our woods on a fallen tree.  They just loved climbing it and jumping off it into the wildflowers we have planted by it.  It’s pretty cool that they are the 6th generation of McGill-McGhie-Millet’s to run around our farm. Can wait to be doing this again in four months or so….

undefinedundefinedThese photos also make me laugh because I remember asking “C” “is it winter, today?”   To which he replied, “No, it’s summer”, I then said “are you sure, because I think  you may roast  today with the temp being 80 something and hot. ”  He looked at me like, “oh, man” and asked, “really?”.  “Yep!”  I believe he ended up putting his swimming trunks on at some point.  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedThe picture above blows me away because he looks exactly like his Dad, which I usually don’t always see because I can see his Mom in him as well, but in this photo all I see is his Dad.  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedLOVE her laugh, it makes my heart smile.  =)undefinedundefined
