The Scaletta Family

You might recognize this beautiful couple from one of my destination weddings, See HERE.  Truth be told, they are also some of our wonderful friends.  Vince and my husband went to Northwestern together and about 2 years ago we met his fiancee, Amanda.  We all gelled immediately and last January they were married in Chicago.  Three weeks later they found out that baby Luca would be making his entrance to the world in only 8 months!

When they told us they would be coming up to Minnesota, we were thrilled, especially Lydia!  ( She was enthralled by Amanda and her beautiful dress last year and not only did she pretend to be “Amanda the bride” for 2 months after the wedding, she got Elise into the game by making her be “Vince the groom”.  Little did my 2 year old know that she was cast for being the guy; she could have cared less!)

On the last day of their visit we planned a session around Minneapolis, and I have to say, Luca was one of the cutest, huggable, lovable, squeezable 3 month old’s I have worked with!  I was thrilled to play peek-a-boo and get a belly laugh out of him. He is such a happy baby!  Thank you Scaletta’s for making the treck up, we love you all so very much.

  • Karen, these are some of the best family photos you’ve posted! They are so good! And she does NOT look like she just had a baby 3 months ago, right? *sigh* 🙂
    What a cute family!

  • Amanda Scaletta

    I just can’t stop smiling at Luca’s chubby face in these pictures! So precious; Thanks for capturing him so well! What a fun weekend to remember through these photos… can’t wait to see you guys again!

  • […] (short, but sweet!), but we were able to get some 9 month photos of their little guy.  See HERE for his 3 month […]

Winner #1; the Smith family

“I just checked my Google Reader and scanned your blog, as I do almost everyday (I’ve been “stalking” your blog for quite awhile now ), and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw that I was one of your winners!!! I’m SO EXCITED!!”

Jen’s words when she found out that she was one of the birthday winners.  (See Here for more info)  I was more than thrilled to do their family shoot because we had actually met many moths before when they were visiting our church up in Elk River.  it was wonderful to reconnect with them and to see how her son had grown and to meet here baby!

We found the CUTEST candy stores and photographed on one of the most beautiful days of the month so far.  All that equaled fun, sugar and happy kiddos!  Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

    i heart faces-bundled up

    We here in MN are wanting to forget the snow and the cold temps, especially with a week peaking over 60! A good reminder that only 2 weeks ago, my front yard was covered in the white stuff.  Now, slowly but surely the buds are making their way out of the hibernation phase, and so are all the Minnesotans!

    Here is a photo of my 3 year old, before she came to me covered in mud and dirt!

    To see more bundled up people see HERE!

    The Schut Family

    The James J Hill Library in St. Paul is not necessarily the most exciting place for a toddler, but for photographing it is wonderful!  There are so many historic items there that make it especially cool.  (I am dreaming of a vintage engagement shoot there… any takers?)  Alivia did a wonderful job keeping her voice down, and doing what toddlers do best; exploring!

    After some indoor shots, we headed outside to be in some of the beautiful weather!

      The Borardman family

      In the fall I was asked by a wonderful organization, New Life family Services (Web-site Here), to be a part of a silent auction they were holding for their Rochester location.  Maggie and her family were the winners.  She waited until this past week to “redeem” her photo session because she wanted photos of her newest addition, Ben.  We met up at the James J Hill library (Web-site Here) and found many nooks and crannies to shoot in.  Her oldest Tommy, started the session as being a shy guy, but about half way through warmed up to the camera and was hamming it up!  It was a wonderful way to spend my morning and afterword I thought about the wonderful opportunity to photograph the newest life that had been give to the Boardmans.

      ***As a side note, this organization is near and dear to my heart as my best friend, and many others, have adopted their wonderful children through New Life.  I love the work that they are doing and praise God for them.
