and lots of baby love!
I had the wonderful privilege of photographing Jon and Nicole’s wedding back in 2007. This past year they welcomed a baby girl to their family. Nicole entered the birthday contest and won. Here are a few family photos that we captured of their beautiful family. It was a joy to see you again!
Oh Karen….I LOVE them!! I can’t wait to see all of them. Despite the cold windy day it turned out perfect. Thanks for being so flexible 🙂 You’re the best!! Thanks!
A mere 3 weeks old, Wyatt was a joy to photograph. I love the little teeny hands, toes, noses, lips and eyes. This little miracle was no exception that newborns are absolutely perfect! Happy Monday!
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!
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 […]
“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.
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
