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.

Little Miss {Southeast MN Children’s Photographer}

I had the pleasure to photograph Miss “G”  who is going to be in the Little Miss Minnesota pageant in July.   I was excited when I was asked to  sponsor a photo shoot with her, so she could  get pictures to submit.  I had a total blast photographing her! She was a gem to photograph!!  She’s going to do great!

On a side note, doing her shoot reminded me of when I competed in this when I was about the same age.  My main memories of it are the white shoes I had, the dresses, one of the questions they asked during the interview, and swimming at the hotel we stayed at. It’s funny to think my Mom did this as she is so not a girly girl, so the thought of her doing my hair and picking out dresses makes me smile.

Good luck, Miss “G”!

And some outtakes to show off more of her fun little personality. =)

Boudoir {SE MN Boudoir Photographer}

Last week we did something we’ve never done before, a boudoir session.  She’s a fan of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Garbo, so we did a few based off of shots they had done.   As you’ll see from the images, they’re classy, tasteful, and beautiful. What a great idea for a groom’s gift, anniversary, birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or deployment surprise!
