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 Late Night Birth { Spring Valley MN Photographer}

What an honor and a privilege it was to be invited to witness and document this birth.

There is nothing more special and life-changing  than a baby being born. 

 

Here are some shots of how the night unfolded……

 

The one word that keeps coming to mind whenever I think of  Courtney’s labor is peaceful. It’s probably not the word she would use describe it. However, everything about Courtney’s labor & birth was very calm and relaxed.  Even when things got a little nerve wracking with the baby’s breathing, everyone was so calm.  He ended up needing a little extra help breathing for the first day, but I’m happy to report, he is doing great now.

Congratulations, Ryan and Courtney! He’s perfect!  Thanks, again, for asking me to document this special time in your life.

Spring Mini Sessions {SE MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Especially after today’s weather, who’s ready for Spring?  I know I am. I am especially looking forward to Spring and Summer with the warmer temps,  outdoor shoots, and blooming flowers.

Being that Spring is on our minds, I thought it was a great day to announce the Spring Mini Sessions at Photography by Kari. I will share some sample images this weekend with the backdrops and some cute little models.
