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.

Mr. O turned one …. We have had so much fun planning our cake smashes, lately, such great themes and colors. And on first birthdays, I love getting to capture a few family photos as well.

Thanks to Debby Westphal for another great cake. And it was dairy free and so good. (Yes, we had to taste it after the cake smash,too.)

Halloween {SE MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Halloween is just around the corner…   So excited see everyone in their great costumes, watch the kids play the games and check out all the Halloween decorations in the studio.

We started this event in 2010, so this is our 7th year doing it, and with the community’s support we were able to help raise over $3,350 the last 6 years with 100% of the proceeds going straight to Spring Valley Park & Rec!

Here’s a video of the studio decorated in 2014….
