Six months | Baby Photography, Maple Ridge BC | Sugarlily Studios

This weekend I met with the K Family for a baby session. The rain held off temporarily so we ran outside to capture a few images of the family and the beautiful fall colors. We then headed into the studio to finish the session. Little K is six months old, ADORABLE and very easy going!! He did amazingly well during the session and seemed to having a great time with all the wonderful props his parents brought. His dad is a fireman so we got some very cool images that I am excited to share with them.

Thank you so much K family for coming by the studio, it was great to finally meet you!! I am sure I will see much more of you around the neighborhood!!!! :)

Enjoy the sneak peeks!

The christmas push is on and I have been very busy shooting some wonderful families!! This weekend the K family came to see me in my studio. They brought with them their handsome son D (four years old) and the newest addition to the family, little S (four weeks old). These two were sooooo well behaved and didn't shy away from the camera one bit. I think D may be a model when he grows up... he really knew how to work all the angles and give me the BEST smiles!!! :) His little sister may give him a run for his money tho, she is cute as a button and has gorgeous features!!

I had a great time with you K family and it was nice getting to know you D and A!!! :)

Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Together forever | Family Photography, Mission BC | Sugarlily Studios

On Sunday I had a family portrait session at an outdoor location in Maple Ridge! I met with this awesome family and we found a place that had huge leaves for the kids to play with... they were in heaven!!! These three adorable children were sooooo well behaved and they did everything their mom asked of them!! Our session was full of laughter and leave throwing... what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!! :)

I also wanted to say THANK YOU to my wonderful assistant whom I was so grateful to have with us!! You made my life so much easier. :)

I had a fantastic time with ALL of you and I can't wait to see you again soon!!

Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Full of Cuteness | Baby Photography, Maple Ridge BC | Sugarlily Studios

This sweet little lady came to see me on Saturday and she was such a pleasure to be around!!! Her name is Bronwyn and I think it is the coolest name!!!!! She wasn't shy one bit and seemed to be having a great time playing with the leaves, picking up dirt, running around and cuddling her favorite stuffed animal, Winston! Bronwyn will be TWO in a week and she is full of cuteness, personality and has an amazing vocabulary for her age!!! :)

Thanks again Nikki and Bronwyn, it was a pleasure to meet you both and I look forward to seeing you again in the future!!!

Enjoy your sneaks!! :)

Full of life | Children's Photography | Maple Ridge, B.C. | Sugarlily Studios

Yesterday was the first time Sugarlily Studios held the Sugar & Spice Holiday Mini sessions! We were scheduled to do the sessions in the studio but the weather turned out to be gorgeous and ALL the sessions opted to do an outdoor session instead. We had a great time playing in the leaves, walking in the trails and just having FUN!!! There are several sneak peeks to come and for those of you who opted not to be blogged, I will contact you with your sneak peeks.

When we started the first session it was still very cold and damp out! These two little fellows came along and didn't even notice... they were to busy running around, getting dirty, climbing trees and just being BOYS!!! I am very good friends with their mother so it was GREAT to hang out with her and the boys while capturing some fun shots.

Thank you for coming to see me yesterday, I had a fabulous time with you T, R & K!!! Enjoy sneak peeks!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! I LOVE the earth tone colors of the leaves on the trees and all over the ground, the cooler temperatures and being able to wear my hoodie with a vest! LOL

Today was a beautiful day and I wanted to take full advantage of the gorgeous light before it disappeared behind the clouds. I packed up my kids and my camera and headed outside for a walk. Our subdivision is filled with beautiful trails and lots of BIG trees. The kids had a great time throwing leaves, climbing up trees, playing in the creek, running on the trails and just being silly!!!!

I hope you enjoy these images of my little munchkins as much as I do!

Wide Awake | Newborn Photography, Maple Ridge BC | Sugarlily Studios

This past weekend baby Leila and her mom Kori came into my studio for a newborn session. Leila was only a week old but she was one DETERMINED little girl!!!!!!!!! When she arrived she was wide-awake and remained that way for the next TWO hours!!! I tried everything I could to get her to sleep but she wasn't having it, lol. We rescheduled the session for Monday morning and when she arrived... she was wide-awake AGAIN and remained that way the duration of her session!!! Can you believe it?!?!? :) At least she was in a great mood and we managed to get some cute images of her pinchable cheeks, tiny little lips and big beautiful eyes!!!

Thanks for being so patient Kori, I hope you are happy with the end results!

Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Fun in the leaves | Children's Photography, Maple Ridge BC | Sugarlily Studios

Friendship means so many different things to so many different people. The things I value in a friendship are simple, or at least I think they are!

1) When you enjoy spending time with that person
2) When you can have fun with them and they make you laugh
3) They generally care about you're well being and you're families well being
4) They're honest
5) They make you want to be a better person everyday

That's it... simple, right?!?! LOL :)

I have some great friends and I feel blessed everyday that I am around them. This past year I have been very fortunate to add a few more into the mix! They're ALL amazing and I love spending my time with them!! The bonus... our children have all become very close too!!

One of these ladies asked me if I would take a few pictures of their children for them and I didn't even hesitate to say YES!! I love their children and was honored to be asked. They have done sooooo much for me and my family over the past year... this is the least I could do for them!!!!!!

We have been trying to do their session for weeks now and were happy to finally catch a break in the weather and our schedules. So, we headed outside this past weekend to capture the fall colors and have some fun with the leaves. These two children are full of life and smiles! R wasn't digging the camera and it didn't help that he knew me soooo well. He was being goofy and silly while his little sister J was being herself... cute, cute, cute!!! She on the other hand, loved the camera and was full of goofy smiles!!

ENJOY the images M family!! :)

Aden | Newborn Photography, Maple Ridge BC | Sugarlily Studios

On Sunday J & Q came into the studio with their brand new baby boy, Aden! I did their maternity session last month. It was so wonderful to see them again and meet the newest addition to their family.

Aden was such a cutie and so happy! He was born at 8 pounds 9 ounces and was strong. He did not want to fall asleep for me but eventually I won and when he fell asleep... he was ASLEEP! I could bend him and pose him anyway I wanted and he didn't fuss one bit. :)

Congratulations again guys... enjoy parenthood!!

Yesterday baby C came into the studio with her mommy. Her mom and I had known each other awhile back but had lost contact. That is until a few months ago when I bumped into her at the grocery store... haha! Now we get together for coffee's on a regular basis and let all SEVEN of our children play together!!! Yes, that is a lot of children.

Little C recently turned one and is the baby of four. She is the cutest little thing... so petite, gentle, girly and full of smiles!!!!!! She makes my heart melt every time I am around her.

Thanks again T & C for coming by... I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! xoxo
