.what winter in edmonton looks like.

snow and sleds and skates and forts and shovels and slides and some sunshine too.

i can clearly remember really enjoying winter as a child, and then, as i grew older, slowly beginning to dread it more and more each year. these kiddos have reintroduced me to the joys of winter, and given that the ground up here is usually covered in the white stuff six or so months of the year, that is a very good thing!

........................................

after totally dropping the ball with my monthly recaps in 2012, i've joined up with a lovely and talented group of ladies this year, in an effort to celebrate and document the everyday with our children (and to hopefully keep myself accountable, ha). the idea is that following my post, you'll click on through to the next photographers in the circle to see what ____ looks like to each of us.

and so, for my first post (i cheated and used images from the past couple of months), this what winter in edmonton looks like for us in pinksugarland :)

next up, go check out summer murdock | salt lake city area lifestyle photographer. i've just been introduced to her work and am so excited to see what she has to share this month!

and a quick side note: my personal blog, adventures in pinksugarland has been nominated over on apartment therapy for the best family & kids blog. if you'd like to add your vote, you can do that here. thank you!!

happy monday! xox, andrea

also, i shared a few housekeeping notes on facebook the other day so i'm posting them here as well for those who may have missed them:
1. the 2013 session calendar will be opening up in just a couple of weeks. first dibs on dates will be going to those on the wait list before being announced to the public. if you'd like your name added to that list, be sure to email me at andrea@pinksugarphotography.com
2. it's looking like i'll be shooting in vancouver (and maybe seattle) again early this spring. i think i only have room for one more session. other travel dates/locations still to be determined based on where there is the most interest. again, email for more info!
3. if you're a photographer who has sent me an email in the last few months, i do fully intend to write you back; however, there are about eighty emails in that queue, so sadly my responses will likely be a little shorter than i would like. thanks for your understanding and patience! :)

.lauren and rob.

the kind of friends who would drop my favourite treats off on our doorstep almost daily while i was pregnant, who are there for us in a second to help out in times of need, who love our kids almost as much as we do, who invite us to dinner at their house and then pack it all up and bring it to our house because i lost BOTH sets of our car keys and we were stranded at home -- i love these people.

i can't tell you how happy i am to have bent my 'one wedding per month' rule for these two lovely people. put simply, it was the perfect day.
