.samson.

danielle and jay aren’t the only ones in our family with a new addition — meet samson, my brother and his girlfriend’s 14-week old boxer puppy! we spent a couple of days up in grande prairie at mike and courtney’s new place over the holidays, and samson is just the sweetest little guy and so much fun to play with.

.cash.

i’m so excited to finally be able to introduce you all to my new nephew!! cash terrence rowley arrived at 7:21pm on december the twelveth, weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz. he is 20 3/4 inches of perfect baby goodness, and i don’t think any of us could love him any more! i’m so happy to have been able to capture all those perfect little newborn details for his mom and dad… congratulations danielle and jay, i know you are going to be amazing parents!

i’m off to finish my christmas shopping (i know — so crazy!) and then to spend the evening with mark’s family! wishing you all laughter, love, warmth and cookies! happy holidays 🙂 xox, andrea

.tara, tyler and family.

as promised, here is part two of my session with tara and tyler! tara’s kiddos were such little honeys and i had a lot of fun chasing them around in the snow. looking forward to seeing you all again in march for the wedding!

on another note, i am now officially on holidays!! mark and i are spending the next week and a bit just relaxing and visiting family. i’ll be checking in here whenever i have a few spare minutes, and i have an exciting session to share in the next couple days (for those of you who can’t handle the suspense, here’s a hint…). i’ll also try to check email and voicemail messages when i have the chance; however, all non-urgent emails and phone calls will be returned in the new year after jenny and sheldon’s wedding! xox, andrea

.tara and tyler.

i’ll be shooting tara and tyler’s wedding early in the new year, so we got together this past weekend and spent a couple hours doing an engagement/family session! i couldn’t narrow the post down to a manageable number of images, so they’re getting two separate posts — one for tara and tyler exclusively, and one for the new family! it was such a great afternoon, and i can’t wait for their wedding!! keep your eyes on the blog for part two, coming soon 🙂

.kennedy, cassidy and georgia.

these gorgeous sisters were so much fun to shoot! we met up downtown late last week to do a lifestyle shoot for their mom’s mother’s day gift (yes, you read that right, lol) and had such a great time. i think it took about an hour for my fingers to defrost after the session, but it was definitely worth it. hope the rest of your birthday was just awesome kennedy — i had a blast hanging out with you ladies!
