... and did not receive confirmation from me, please let me know. I've heard from one family that an order was placed but it never actually went through. Now I'm hoping that there aren't more of you out there. Please contact me if you placed an order but never got a confirmation e-mail directly from me.
Thanks!

Norah ... 11 months.
Once again ... the beautiful Miss Norah. I personally LOVE this months photos of her. I was able to capture both sides of her this month ... the serious thinker and the giggly little girl. :) And those EYES ... ugh ... they just melt my heart.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Our First Baby ...
I don't think Ryan and I were home from our honeymoon to the Wine Country of California more than 2 or 3 days before we took the plunge into parenthood. I had always wanted a dog ... but childhood allergies had pretty much wiped out that option for me.
While browsing the internet, we found a breeder that said it had puppies available. So we took off that day to go look. They first brought out an 11 week old yellow lab who just seemed so big already so we asked to see the younger litter. Out they brought (soon to be named) Pumba. He was SO gosh darn cute. I instantly fell in love.
He was a skittish little thing. We had to hand feed him on the carpet for the first couple of nights because he wouldn't walk on the hardwood floor. When we took him to see my brothers family he hid from the kids in one of the plants. And later on, whenever I'd vacuum, he'd pee. :)
Well, almost 7 years later, we have a huge dog who is still as hyper as a puppy. He's calmed down a little but just can't control himself when someone comes over. For the longest time, people in our neighborhood referred to Ryan and I as, "Pumba's parents". Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood had met and remembered him.
He's a bit strange ... he only likes water in it's frozen state. Take him near any kind of water and he'll FREAK OUT ... tail between the legs with this look like, "ARE YOU CRAZY!?" ... but once the first snowfall hits, he's out in the front yard rolling around in it.
My point with this whole post? Don't forget to include your "first baby" when planning for family pictures. I know it's hard to give the four legged babies all the love and attention they got before the two legged variety came along ... but don't forget how important they are to you.
Anyway, catching snowballs is one of Pumba's most favorite winter activities. Last weekend I shot a few pictures of him while we were out building a snowman. So here he is ... Pumba. (And because I know someone will ask ... he's a pure bread Lab. His monster head always throws people off.)

Kristin Knudson Photography News
Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a great Groundhog's Day. They say he saw his shadow this morning so we're left with 6 more weeks of winter. Bah-humbug! I'm itching to get outside.
Anyway, I just thought I'd update the blog with a couple things ...
First, please check out the pricing changes on my website. The changes have been in place for a couple weeks now but I just hadn't had time to post a reminder here. If you had a session in January, you are still locked into the old price structure through February.
Second, I will be closed down for a few days. I have to have my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday, February 4 (joy, joy!!) so I am closing up shop from February 4 thru February 8. Depending on how I feel, I may respond to e-mails but I probably won't be taking any calls. All inquires/questions will be returned on Monday, February 9th!
And lastly, I've had a few people ask me about gift certificates ... YES! If you are interested in giving a session as a gift, I will certainly work with you to get the perfect package put together. Honestly, I can't think of a longer lasting baby shower gift. Outfits, bottles and blankets come and go, but a parent will forever treasure photos of their child as a newborn.
Have a great day!!

Meet Spencer
I love catching up with old friends. I resisted joining Facebook for a while ... mostly because I didn't think I'd really find that many people on there that I knew. BOY was I wrong!
In junior high there were two girls I was really close friends with. We were on a bowling team together (I'll still taking anyone on in bowling ... and I might even give away a free session to anyone that beats me) and spent countless nights at sleep overs. When it came time for high school I went to one school while they went to another. Well, I have found both of these girls on Facebook.
Trea, her husband Eric and their little boy, Spencer, drove down from the Cities a few weekends ago for a 2 year old session for Spencer. He is SUCH a sweet little boy. I am head over heels in love with his red hair.
Here's a little bit from his session ...
(Thanks again, Trea, for coming all the way down ... and thanks for a great "girls" lunch!)

If anyone else is on Facebook, friend me!!!
Isn't she getting big?
I hadn't posted any of Norah for a while so I thought I'd post a few from our January session. Her mom is bringing her every month and I love being able to watch her grow and show off all her new skills!
