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!

    Jackie and Vineet

    Jackie and I hit it off right away.  When we sat down at the coffee shop it was like running into an old friend.  I could not wait to hear all the wedding details and shoot her and Vineet’s May wedding.  While planning from Connecticut, Jackie and her mother have put many of the pieces of the wedding day already in place.  I almost jumped for joy I was so excited when she told me the venue and specifics.   I love surprises, so stay tuned for more details and photos of this beautiful, charming couple!

      Linder Family

      I absolutely love meeting new people, and love forming relationships with them.  Laura and my sister were in a wedding together last year and she remembered that Lindsay said her sister was a photographer (thank you to all my amazing family members, they are walking billboards for me!).  Laura called me up to try and get in on the Feb. promo and she ended up taking my last spot!

      Her little Sophia was a dream to work with.  When I got to the Linder home, this little one year old, was walking around with a purse in one hand and sunglasses in another.  Definitely girlie!  She showed me a bunch of her toys and her cat and we ended up with some fabulous photos in the process of just another Saturday at home.

      Thanks Tim and Laura for inviting me into your lives.  You were both so great to work with.  ( I wanted to end with this one becuase I loved the way Tim and Laura were getting Sophia to laugh, they were such a huge help!)

        Great pictures Karen. I love the one with Sophia with her sunglasses and clutch purse! Even the one of just Tim & I is wonderful! Thank you so much!

      • Jeanenne

        You are an excellent photographer. You can tell by the photos that you have but your subjects at ease and comfort. You have really come into their lives. I love the one of just Sophia with her pearls, the black and white of the side of her beautiful face and the family reading. They are all special. Good luck to you….

      Happy Easter!! He has risen indeed!!
