We are excited to announce our third year participating  in the national ‘Adorable Children’s Portrait Contest’.  Schedule a portrait session with Photography by Kari for your child(ren) age newborn to 12 years now (beginning of June 2015, so if you have already had a session since June 2016, you may enter a photo) until July 2017 and you can choose to enter the Adorable National Children’s Portrait Contest. In our first year one of our clients won a 1st place in the National Adorable Children’s Contest!  And last year, we had 5 winners winning $375 and also 16×20 prints.  You can view our winners and the others here:  https://acilab.com/adorable-contest/adorable-winners/

If you would like a session just for this contest, we will be doing Adorable Mini’s from now until July 31, 2017.  They will be 30 minute sessions with 1 backdrop/one location and 1 outfit for $40 plus MN and Fillmore County Sales tax and 15% off prints bought from the session. Or you may also book a full session, too.

This is a national contest being put on by one of our labs and is open to kids ages newborn to 12 years and has a variety of categories.  The photos will also be judged locally via votes on Photography by Kari’s blog  in August.  The top 5 winners with the most votes in the local Photography by Kari Adorable Children’s Portrait contest will receive a 16×20 print ($105 value) of the winner’s choice from the session used to enter the contest . The Grand Prize  winner of the local contest will also receive a Standard Session and  5×7 session brag book from this session (a $455 value). The best part of the contest is that there are over $7500 in prizes in the National contest!
