Moving On | Maple Ridge, BC | Sugarlily Studios

O.K. I know you thought I forgot about you... but I have not!! I have just been sooooo busy working on some special projects for Sugarlily and completing my website!!! YAY... I can't wait to show you what I have been doing night and day for the past TWO months!!!! I have been staying up until 12:00-1:00 am every night! Needless to say I am exhausted and so is my husband. With three little kids its been a lot to take on but he has been a gem and I can't thank him enough for all he has done to help me with the kids and the business. We are both looking forward to getting back to normal SOON!!!

This week I got to do something I have NEVER done before. A friend asked me if I could capture some images of her son's two bedrooms. On the walls of these rooms are three stunning murals painted with the children in mind. When each boy was born a local artist came in and painted these beautiful pictures with family pets from the parents past and animals they currently have. The family has just purchased a new home and are happy for the move but sad to leave behind these walls. These images will be keepsakes I hope they will enjoy in there new home for years to come! Thanks again N family for allowing me to capture these amazing walls .

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Mom and Dad are very lucky to have such a good natured, sleepy baby for there first!! Hopefully he stays this good forever :) It was a pleasure to visit your beautiful home, meet some of your family and photograph your darling son! Congrats again to you both.

OK I know I have been neglecting the blog but it has been for a good reason... I have been building my website!! In the very near future you will see more sneak peeks, special offers, our facebook launch and of course the long awaited website launch!! I am VERY excited and can't wait to let the world see what Sugarlily Studios has to offer. So check back often... you don't want to miss out!

Now lets get back to why it is we are here... to see the sneak peeks! I recently had a photo shoot with two ADORABLE little boys who I have known since birth. There parents are very good friends on mine and have been for a very long time! T & C were very excited to come to the studio... they had practiced saying "cheese", had there hair cut and were dressed in there best duds. T was sooo excited to see me... he was talking a mile a minute about school, the Olympics, hunting and his dad. On the other hand his little brother C was quiet... taking in all the lights around him. He seemed mesmerized by the studio!

So without further ado... here are the sneak peeks of the W boys!

Enjoy :)

A QUICK walk | Children's Photography | Maple Ridge, B.C. | Sugarlily Studios

Yesterday it was sunny and we could not resist going out for a walk. The kids and I headed out on some local trails and we had so much fun. N was smart enough to stand on the bridge and enjoy the sun while the boys headed straight into the water and were soaked from head to toe within minutes. I was able to capture this image of N before I had to DRAG the boys out of the river and back home. No pictures of them today! :(

Enjoy :)

The kids and I headed down to the studio to have some fun and be silly today! That was scary... our unwrapped Christmas presents were HIDING only 8 feet away from them and they came a little to close for comfort!! Phew, that was close!! Without further ado here are the images I captured today!

Love of water | Children's Photography | Maple Ridge, BC | Sugarlily Studios

Another fav I just found and had to share! This image is of my son K who had just recently turned three. He loves to play in the mud and water. So when he saw this he ran to the waters edge quicker then we could yell NO!! Here is the image I captured...

I had to share this image with you... I just found it and it is one of my favorites! It was taken this summer (August) while we were out playing in the yard.

Having fun | Children's Photography | Port Coquitlam, BC | Sugarlily Studios

I look after this darling little girl a few days a week. She has the darkest brown (almost black) eyes I have ever seen. She is always so delicate and shy but she loves it when I bring out my camera! So today we thought we would have some fun and try to get some cute images of her for her parents... a little christmas gift from me!

Enjoy :)

For all of you who have asked to see an image of me... this is moi with my hubby Steve! I have to say, we both would much rather be behind the lens then in front of it but I have to admit, we did have a lot of fun. Thank you to my sister W for going behind the lens and capturing this image.

Enjoy :)

These children are very near and dear to my heart! They came to me a few days ago looking for Christmas pictures and were sooooo cute!! Little R was so protective of his baby sister P and they were both mesmerized by the lights and camera. Here are a few images I captured. I hope you enjoy them F family, it was great to see you again!

Enjoy :)
