I have had the BEST clients this year and this family was no exception!!  C and L came into my studio this past weekend with their two and a half month old daughter.  She is adorable and was unbelievably good.  J may be two and half months old but she behaved like a newborn!  She slept when we wanted her to and didn't make a peep until the end of the session!  


C & L's friends referred Sugarlily to them and little did they know, I was their neighbour!  What a small world.  It was so much fun getting to know them and it seems like C and my husband S, have a lot in common.  I see many beers and hockey chats in their future.  :)  


Thanks again guys!!  Enjoy your sneak peeks!

that is one BIG yawn!  :)

This past month has been crazy for me to say the least.  I have been swamped with sessions, editing, processing orders, new enquires, etc and a personal issue that has drained me to the core.  I will be blogging about this at a later date but TODAY I am here to introduce you to this gorgeous little girl that came into my studio this past weekend.

At six months old J was not only beautiful, sweet and quiet but she was very active!!!!  She did not want to sit still for very long because she was having to much fun crawling around on the backdrop.  She gave all of us a good work out but I think in the end it was all worth it!!  :)

It was great meeting with you M family... enjoy your sneak peeks!!!

My latest newborn session was with this gorgeous little girl, Ella Bean! She was a dream to photograph... she is adorable, she LOVED sleeping and didn't fuss at all!!!

I had a great time catching up with Ella's mom, Lara (we graduated together) and getting to know her husband and mom.

Thank you for having me over E family, I had a wonderful afternoon with all of you and can't wait to see you again! PS: I LOVED the reno's on the house!

Enjoy your sneak peeks! :)

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!

K Family | Baby & Family Photography, New Westminster BC | Sugarlily Studios

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!
