This is a post you don't want to miss! I have been feeling the Christmas spirit, baking gingerbread cookies with my children, putting out holiday lights and decorations, and of course shopping! The shopping is the hard part for me, I always strive to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list, but some people just aren't that easy to shop for! So, if you know someone who loves priceless memories and custom portraits, I have the perfect gift for you! Here is the special, that will run now until December 20th:

{Buy one $50 gift card get a bonus $25 gift card}

So you can buy one for a friend and keep one for yourself! Or keep them both for yourself or give them both away. They are valid for all of 2010 but cannot be used for orders from 2009 sessions. Send me an email at photographybykristenwagner@yahoo.com and mention the holiday special!

Also, if you are a regular reader of this blog, but are not signed up as a follower now is the time! I will also be randomly drawing a name from the follower list on December 20th to receive a special holiday gift! Don't miss out, sign up now!

And I cannot post without a few images, so here they are:






Many more portraits to come! Just need to get all of the holiday orders in. Remember, this Sunday, December 6th is the last day for all orders needed by Christmas!

Hello everyone! I know it feels like this blog is neglected, but I have SO many incredible sessions and weddings I will be able to share with you all winter long while things are a bit slower :).

I have a few things to share tonight! First, my website is finally back up and running!!! So now whether you enter .net or .com you will be able to access my site!!

Secondly, I have had the amazing opportunity to be a commercial photographer for an incredibly talented boutique clothing line for little girls. If you have little girls and are looking for some exquisite clothing that has the most gorgeous fabrics and patterns mixed flawlessly together to create timeless and whimsical clothing, check out ! They are having a Thanksgiving sale so now everything is 20% off!!

You may recognize Mady and Ryleigh in a few of the pictures on the website. We get compliments on their clothes every time they wear them. She really knows how to make the perfect "picture" outfits! Here are a few of my girls in their GenMarie:








And finally, I'd like to thank everyone who has been SO incredibly patient with me while we have had new carpeting installed in our house, which involved so much work and me being without all of my office things including my iMac for a while! Especially Jessica N, Kelly B, and Tamara S, Molly C, and Molly L! Thank you all for being so amazing and understanding :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of friends, family, food, faith and love. There are so many blessings in our lives to be thankful for!

I had the opportunity to travel all the way to New Richmond, WI to photograph this precious little guy! At just five days old Ezra had the most kissable cheeks I have ever seen on a newborn! He didn't spend much time sleeping, but when he did we were able to capture these precious images.

Here are a few of sweet baby Maren. She was quite possibly the quickest newborn session I've ever had! Her mommy warned me she always wanted to eat and wouldn't sleep very long and she started out awful squirmy. But after a little while of a nice warm place to lay and lullabies she was in that deep baby sleep adults envy ;). Congratulations Brian, Kelly, and Allison on your new addition!!
