Do you think your kiddo is the cutest around? Would you love to have his/her portraits taken but just haven't gotten around to it yet? I love taking portraits of kiddos, so I am starting a contest. The most votes for a picture wins the cutest kid contest and a free portrait session with me this summer/fall 2011!

Join in the fun with the Cutest Kid Contest at Sarah Amelia Photography!

Here are the rules!

ANYONE can enter,

All you need to do is e-mail me a picture of your cute kid to sgough83@yahoo.com
I will then put the photos you send me in an album title 'Cutest Kid Contest' on my photography facebook page. Everybody will be able to vote on who should win by clicking 'LIKE' for your picture.

The most 'LIKES' you get on your portrait determines the winner, so get your friends and family involved in the voting process! Once your little one's picture is up in the album you can encourage your friends to vote by 'liking' your picture in the gallery.

Maternity Session Moris Minnesota, Family Photography

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
~Elizabeth Stone


I met Kristen through SCMC where I used to work, and we always would talk about photography, which was something we were both passionate about. Last year Kristen started her own photography business, and had been an inspiration to me when I took the steps in beginning my own business journey.

Kristen runs Kristen Grimm Photography in Morris Minnesota, and she does beautiful work.

Kristen and Lafe are such fun and easy-going people, and I was so happy that they had asked me to do a maternity session for them. They are expecting their first child this fall and they do not know if they should decorate in blue or pink... it is a surprise! It was very windy and warm the evening of our shoot but they powered through, worked it, and the results were pretty darn good.

Here are a few of my favorites. If you are interested in a maternity shoot please contact me and we'll talk details!

An afternoon at the winery - Alexandria Family Photographer

On Father's Day weekend my husband and I ventured out to Carlos Creek Winery near Alexandria to meet Amie and family for a family portrait session. Neither of us had been at the winery before and getting there a bit early gave us a chance to explore the grounds and become friends with the two resident border collies who gave us a warm welcome.

After meeting Amie's little guy Tristan (3 months) we got started on some family portraits near the front of the winery. Tristan was skeptical, and was not going to give out his smiles without us working hard for them! This was his first portrait session after all, so we had to cut the little guy some slack ;)

With lots of snuggles from both Mom and Dad he started to find that handsome smile of his, slowly but surely.

And once he showed us that gorgeous smile of his, it was well worth the wait. What a cutie pie!

Thank you Amie and family!
