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

Last night I met with Janelle & Quinn for their first maternity session. They are expecting a baby boy in five short weeks and can't wait for his arrival. These two people were both very laid back and a lot of fun to be around. We laughed a lot and the time passed us by quickly.

It was a pleasure to meet you both and I can't wait for the newborn session!

I wish you all the best in the coming weeks... ENJOY your sneak peeks!

Brothers & Sisters | Children's Photography | Maple Ridge, BC | Sugarlily Studios

On Friday I met with the L family at a local park to capture some fun, fresh and vibrant images of their children. O is six and E is fours years old. These two little munchkins were adorable and cheeky... just like their Momma!!! { LOL } We had a great time playing at the park, digging in the sand at the beach and running around on the lawn acting crazy!!!! It is so much fun being a kid!!!!!

I had a great time and look forward to seeing you again soon!!

Enjoy your sneaks... :)

Just the four of you | Family Photography | Mission, BC | Sugarlily Studios

This morning I met with Mark, Lori, Analeigh and Cash to do a family session in the park! I have known Mark and Lori for a long time now so it was great to see them again. I always love shooting friends... we have so much fun together and it is a great time to catch up!

We headed out early this morning to this amazing location and let Analeigh loose to do her thing. At sixteen months old she is full of life and absolutely adorable!!!! Her eyes are out of this world and her personality is sooooo cute!! She loved saying "Hi" to everyone.

We had a great time today and I captured some great images of them!

Thanks again for meeting with me today guys... it was FUN!!!! Let's do that BBQ soon...

Forever | Engagement Photography | Port Moody, BC | Sugarlily Studios

Trying to find the appropriate words for this post was harder then I expected, so please bear with me!!

On Sunday I FINALLY had the honor of shooting an engagement session for my best friend whom I have known for 26 years!!! YES, I know that is a long time!!! We met in grade one and have spent our lives together... growing, laughing, crying, sharing, dreaming and soooo much more!!!!!!

We have been talking, planning and dreaming about this time in her life since we were little girls. Now one of her biggest dreams is finally becoming a reality... she's gettin' MARRIED!!!!

In a few short days, Shaun and Susanne will be tying the knot on a cruise to Alaska with their nearest and dearest friends and family. This is a fantasy wedding that has exceeded what we were dreaming about at six-years old.

So… doing this shoot was very special to me! These two amazing people are my family and I had to get this shoot right! Not for me… but for them!


Shaun & San,

I am so grateful to be a part of your life and it truly was my honor to capture these images for you!
I wish you both a lifetime full of health, happiness and LOVE!!!
I love you both…CONGRATULATIONS!

xoxoxo, lish

Enjoy your sneak peeks… ☺

Baby on the way | Maternity Photography | Maple Ridge, BC | Sugarlily Studios

I met this adorable family yesterday to capture some beautiful images of Sheila's pregnant belly!! This is their second baby and the sex is still unknown... will it be a boy or a girl????

Lucas and Sheila brought their handsome little boy Logan along to the shoot. He was sooooo awesome!! Logan was my assistant and even captured some great pictures of his mom for me. He LOVED looking through the viewfinder, clicking the button and then seeing the images he took! He will be a pro photog in no time! :)

You have got to check out Sheila's jeans... they are buttoned up!!! Can you believe it? Amazing... way to go girl.

I had a great time meeting all of you and can't wait to find out if Logan will be getting a little sister or a brother to play with!

Congrats!!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

On Thursday I had the pleasure of meeting Lena for her FIRST maternity shoot!! Lena and I graduated from high school together way back in the day.... and no we will not say how long ago that was, LOL!! This is their first babe and they are very excited!!!!!!

We had a great evening shooting, laughing and catching up!! It was 38 degrees again and we spend most of our time trying to shoo away all those darn mosquitoes and flies!! They were HORRIBLE but Lena was a trooper!!! :)

It was great to see you again Lena and I wish you and Brent all the best with your new babe!!!!!! I can't wait to see him! :)

Round Two | Maternity Photography | Port Moody, BC | Sugarlily Studios |

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting this fantastic and fun family for a Maternity session!! This is their second pregnancy and B is due to deliver a little boy at the end of August. They brought their 15 month old son T with them tonight and WOW, not only is he gorgeous but soooo well behaved and quiet! He was a little gem full of smiles for Mom and Dad!!! :)

We met at a beautiful location but the 38 degree weather mixed with all the mosquitoes made for a quick and not so relaxing session. LOL... :)

Thanks A, B & T for meeting with me tonight... I had a great time getting to know each of you and I can't wait to see the newest addition to the family... little J.

Enjoy your sneak peek!! :)

Mortgage Specialist | Headshots | Maple Ridge, BC | Sugarlily Studios

Friends of mine are in the Mortgage business and needed a few headshots for their upcoming ad campaign. It was quickest and easiest session, ever!! I literally walked across the street from my house, captured some great images of these two easy going people and walked back home!! LOL! I am used to spending 1-3 hours shooting at an given session, so this felt a little weird to me!! :)
