Easter Bunny Photos {SE MN Children’s Photographer}

Posted in Kids

Easter Bunny Photos! I hate that all of our traditions are being interrupted but this is the next best thing!! I saw these and thought it would be an adorable option for parents and support a small business during this crazy time if you usually take the littles to see the bunny for those yearly pics. You will simply take a picture of your child/children and email it to me to add for your yearly keepsake picture. Photos must be personal photos.

They will be $10 per image. Please send good quality images for best results, making sure the image is in focus. I would suggest to be close to your subject and that you get an image outdoors against some greenery but any image will work. If were supposed to have a session and we have had to reschedule due to Covid-19, I will be doing your images complimentary as a gift.

Please click here to order: https://photographybykari.com/store/index.php…
Once you have ordered, email me your image to kari@photographybykari.com.

Lastly this is for digital download you will not receive it printed. I will be working on these today and will get them sent to you right away.

If you have an account with the store, you will need to log in, if you don’t know your password there is a link to reset it or you can message us. If you do not have an account, you will need to create an account in order to place an order.

Yard Signs {SE MN Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Seniors, Sports, Updates

Parents and the seniors in the Class of 2020, as well as those students in spring sports, are feeling the sting of this pandemic in a harsh way. While many people are missing out on major events right now, we decided to come up with a way people can show their support. We created these yard signs as a way to boost our grads and spring athletes!

You can celebrate your senior or spring athlete by purchasing a custom 24″x18″ yard sign with a stake and setting up a time to pick them up with no contact, you let me know when you are coming and I will set it outside on our table at my house for you to grab.

They are customizable to school and sport and can be generic with just school colors and your mascot or you can send a PERSONAL photo to use (can not be a professional photo) or if you’ve had your photos done with Photography by Kari, we can add one of those.

As I was getting this post together, I thought I could also make designs for honor healthcare workers, truckers, grocery workers, teachers, first responders, etc. Just let me know and I can make a design.

Click here to order: https://photographybykari.com/store/index.php…

First sign – $25 plus MN and Fillmore county sales tax. 2 or 3 of the same design – $20 each plus MN and Fillmore county sales tax.. 4 or more of the same design – $15 each plus MN and Fillmore county sales tax.


***Please order by April 15, 2020. Fulfillment of orders is contingent upon the printer continuing to produce signs. If we are unable to fill any orders full refunds will be made immediately.***

Rack’s Bar & Grill {Spring Valley MN Infant Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Babies

Woohoo! It’s Friday! We made it through another week!

Today I want to share another client that owns a small family-owned and run business, Rack’s Bar and Grill in Spring Valley, MN. Once again, this family has been a client of mine for many years. I think probably since Photography by Kari opened 15 years ago. I have had the pleasure to take senior photos of 2 of their children, sports photos, prom photos, family photos and now portraits of their grandchildren as well.

Are you getting tired of eating at home? I know, I am. And am also missing my taco salad from Rack’s. Rack’s will be offering TO-GO orders (curb-side pick-up & delivery) starting March 17th at 5 PM. You will need to pay over the phone with a credit or debit card at the time of order. They won’t be allowing you to come into the building to pay. There is a $20 minimum charge for delivery orders plus a $5 delivery fee. Curbside pick-up there is no minimum charge. The phone number to call for orders is 507.346.1322. Please consider getting take out orders or gift cards if you opt to not do take out right now.

Also, tonight’s special (3/27/20) is a batter-fried fish dinner with choice of potato, corn and a dinner roll for $12.95 each from 5 to 10 PM. I personally am not a fish eater, but I know that I have had many friends rave about their fish.

I have many photos of this family to share and will do so by posting more later in the coming few weeks to share their specials. First up is Mr. I’s 6-month photos. Love his Rack’s hat that his Mom brought for the session….

Wolfram Angus Farms {Spring Valley MN Family Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Families

During this trying time, the world needs love, healing, and understanding. We love every one of my clients and I am thankful and humbled they have chosen me to capture some of the most precious moments of their lives. With that said and the fact that I have so so many sessions I have never blogged. SO last night I was thinking about what I was going to do with my time and one thing was to blog. Then I decided I would also showcase my clients who also have a small business and could use our help during this time or maybe they have something to offer that someone may need.

First up is the Wolfgram Family. I have been honored to be taking their portraits since maternity photos with their eldest daughter, Miss A, who is now 6. I adore this family. The girls are at the studio so often that they just come in and make themselves to home, which we love. They also always have a million things to tell us when they get in the door or if we see them out and about around town.

Over the last almost 7 years, they have become friends as well. I recently got a new phone and had to transfer my texts as it had put everything in twice when I first transferred everything over. So I had to go about it differently and noticed that 7, 300 and some out of 35,000 were with Larissa. lol We apparently text often. We text about random things, shoots and about getting meat from their small business, Wolfgram Angus Farms. They have a farm in Spring Valley, MN where they raise Angus beef cattle. The cattle are completely raised on their family farm with no growth hormones, and are fed corn, oats, and hay.

We’ve been getting our ground beef from them for the past year and it is the best. It crumbles so easily and there is not a lot of fat to take off after cooking it. I highly recommend it. They currently have meat bundles available: 3 pound roast, a pack of 2 steaks, and 8 pounds of hamburger for $85. Choose from round, rump, arm or chuck roast, and T-bone, ribeye, or top sirloin steak. If you’d like to get a bundle, click on the facebook link above or call Brady at (507) 251-5362 .

With all that said here are some of the most recent photos of their family…. I also need to share photos of Miss A’s and Miss E’s yearly photos, too. So will do that another time this month.
