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.

6 Months {Rochester MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Oh man! Six months seems like such a short time, but when you compare these photos to his newborn photos, you see see just how much he has grown in this “short” time.

6 months old is one of my favorite ages. They are so happy to be sitting up and haven’t figured out how to crawl away from me, yet. This little guy was so much fun to work with. So adorable and full of smiles.Had to take one of his feet as he kept  moving them around and watching them throughout the session.

Family of 3 {Grand Meadow MN Family Portrait Photographer}

This family session was from a gift certificate given as a gift last year for Christmas, it’s not too late if you need a last minute gift that will last a lifetime, give me a call or shoot me an email and I can get you one.  A girl after my own heart, but it’s the wrong color for me, I prefer  green. 😉  She was oh so excited to put on her new outfit
  Love it!  How sweet is she?!One for fun!

I absolutely love photographing newborns! They’re so delightfully yummy, squishy, sweet, and innocent. They are just angelic and I’m delighted I can capture that in photos. And it was a true honor to photograph this baby girl.  Go ahead and ooh and ahh over this beautiful little baby girl.
