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.

Holiday Mini Sessions {SE MN Portrait Photographer}

Santa is coming and  giving out cookies to good little girls and boys! He has treats for pets too!

Come & meet Santa in your Christmas best or pajamas and get to know him with a  candid conversation, going over their Christmas list, seeing whether they’ve been naughty or nice, eating cookies, reading a book, or playing.  Best of all you will be able to skip the long wait in mall lines!

Join us in the studio for  a magical experience in his toy workshop!

Halloween {Spring Valley MN Portrait Photographer}

Halloween is right around the corner….. Can’t wait to see everyone in their great costumes, watch the kids play the games and check out all the Halloween decorations in the studio.

In 2010, we started opening the studio for Halloween photos, and with the community’s support we were able to help raise over $1,700 the last 4 years with 100% of the proceeds going straight to Spring Valley Park & Rec! Each year the proceeds have grown and we hope it continues this year as well!

Here’s a video of the studio decorated last year….

We are also beyond excited for everyone to see our costumes this year!

With that all said, here’s the info for this year…. Hope to see you there!
