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.

Birthday Memories {SE MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

This sister and brother duo came in for pictures to remember turning the big double digits of 10 and turning 5. These two are so incredibly sweet and are always excited to get their photos taken. Love the themes they chose. So fun!
 
I have taken photos of Mr. N since before he was born, still have one of his newborn photos on the wall, so I asked him, “since you’re going to be 5 now, does that mean I should take down your newborn photo?” He replied with a big “No!” 😉 Glad to keep the photo up. I have a hard time removing the photos from the wall at the studio anyway, but I am happy to keep this one up. Mr. N and I are birthday buddies, 34 years apart. Happy Birthday, Mr. N! Hope you had a wonderful day, today!
 
So glad that I have been able to capture these memories for their family for the last five years or so.

5 Days Old {SE MN Newborn Photographer}

This handsome little fella visited us at just 5 days old. He was a perfect little gentleman for his first photo session, and we got so many precious photos of him!! His parents brought a deer hat and Dad’s bow for us to incorporate, and they came out SO cute!!!

Fall Engagement {SE MN Engagement Couple Portrait Photographer}

Back in October, we had the pleasure of meeting up with Maddi and Justin for their engagement session. It was a windy and cold day, but sunny. The colors were looking extra vibrant, providing the perfect scenery for their session. We are so glad they were willing to brave the cold and the wind because their portraits turned out beautifully.
