It finally happened... my best friend of 27 years has finally had a baby!!  Wooohooo, I am elated for her, her husband Shaun, big brother Jeremy and both of their families!  This is an amazing time in their life and I am so grateful to be a part of it!

Of course I wanted to photograph him and they were kind enough to let me do it!  Well, I didn't really give them a choice... lol  :) Henrik was 5 weeks early and weighed in at a whooping 6 pounds 9 ounces!  I may be biased because I am his aunt but I think he's absolutely gorgeous and I love him so much already!

The thing I am looking forward to the most, is watching our kids (all five of them) grow up together... just like Susanne and I did!!  Ohhhh the memories they will create and the trouble they will get into.  Now we'll know how our parents felt all those years ago when we were "perfect angels", right San?!?!  :)

CONGRATULATIONS again... I am so happy for you guys!!  xoxo

Enjoy your teasers!

Check out Mr. M!!  Is he not adorable or what?!?!  He is seven months old, he has HUGE blue eyes and is one the happiest babies I have ever met!  When I arrived to their home I was greeted with a big smile and he kept smiling for most of the session!  He was an absolute joy to be around and I loved capturing all these images of him.  I had so many great poses to choose from, I had a horrible time trying to narrow it down for these teasers.  :)

I first met his parents last year at their maternity session, you can see it here...  http://sugarlilystudios.blogspot.com/2010/07/baby-bump-maternity-photography-burnaby.html

I was elated to see them again and I was happy to catch up on all things happening in their life now.  Thanks for another great session N and M, it was soooo much fun!  

Enjoy your teasers!!!

I first met Mr. K and his Mom a month ago when they came into the studio for his five month old baby session.  We had such a great time capturing beautiful images of him and his Mom.  You can see those images here... http://sugarlilystudios.blogspot.com/2011/02/so-serious-baby-photography-pitt.html

This past weekend they came back into the studio with K's Dad (R) for their family portraits!  We had a wonderful time during the session, talking, laughing and playing with K!  He is so darn cute and gave me lots of good cuddles and smiles!! I {heart} this little guy!!

Thanks again S family for coming to see me on Saturday!!  Enjoy your teasers!!  xo

On Thursday I met with another gorgeous baby boy!  Little H was 8 days old when he came into the studio and he was so sweet and cuddly... I was mesmerized by him!  But who wouldn't be... just look at him!  He's perfect!  As cute as he is tho, he wasn't much of a sleeper for me.  He had me working extra hard to get him into each pose and to keep him a sleep.  In the end I managed to get some beautiful images of him that I am hoping his Mom and Dad will love.

His big sister H was here too, she will be turning three very soon.  H was such a good little girl and she was so patient.  As soon as it was her turn in front of the camera, she turned on the charm and was happy to have her picture taken!  It's not hard to tell that she gets that from her Dad, sorry J!!  :)

Thank you so much S and J for coming to see me on Thursday!  I had a fabulous time with both of you and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Enjoy your teasers!!  xo

On Sunday morning I headed into Vancouver to meet the newest addition to the M family!  I first met with S and C a few weeks ago at their maternity session, you can see those images here... http://sugarlilystudios.blogspot.com/2011/03/tiny-bump-maternity-photography.html.  On March 28th they welcomed little O into the world.  He weighted in at a whopping 6 pounds 11 ounces and was perfect.  He slept through most of the session and didn't fuss much at all which made my job significantly easier.   We got some beautiful images of him and I am happy to share them with you now. 

Thank you S and C for welcoming me into your home... I had a great time cuddling with O and visiting with you both again.  I also wanted to send C a BIG thank you for all your help after the session, I appreciate it!!!  :)

Enjoy your sneak peeks!!  xo

10 days old | newborn photography, maple ridge bc | sugarlily studios

On Thursday afternoon I met with this adorable little man and his mom, H!!  I first met H a few weeks back for her maternity session in the studio.  At that time she knew she was expecting a little boy and he finally arrived on March 21.  Yes, the same delivery day as my last blog post!  These two babes were born at the same hospital, on the same day within a few hours of each other!  It is a small world... :)

J is long, lean and a very relaxed little guy!  He loves to stretch out his legs and lay there with his eyes open watching and listening to what's happening around him.  He made his mom and I work a little harder to get him asleep and keep him that way but in the end we won and got some great images of him!

It was wonderful to see you again H and to meet little J!

Enjoy your teasers!!

I met with H (mom), L (dad) and their daughter H towards the end of February for T's maternity session.  It has been a month since that session and I am happy to announce that they had a gorgeous little girl on March 21!!  I met little S on Thursday morning and couldn't resist getting some cuddles from her...  she is so sweet, quiet, calm and good natured.  Her parents are very lucky to have her!!!   :)  We had a fabulous session and I am excited to post these sneak peeks for them.

It was a pleasure seeing you all again and meeting Grandpa and Grandma too!!  Thanks for all your assistance, I appreciate it!

Enjoy your teasers!!
