I can’t tell you all how long I’ve been waiting to write this post… let’s just say it’s been coming for a LONG time!!
Not only am I a full time entrepreneur, trying to keep my head above water while running a business with no prior business knowledge, I’m also a wife and full time stay at home mommy to my two beautiful children, Ashleigh who’s 7 and Jake who’s 5. Over the past two years, I commuted both my children to school three (or more!) times a day, as well as all their extra curriculars, to the town next to us. We also had our house listed for the past year or so on and off, which required constant cleaning and organization (not easy for a house full of kiddos). And two months ago, just as the kids were being let out on summer holidays, we finally moved in to our dream house only to start the renovations. I can tell you that the last few years have been hectic to say the least. Ya know the feeling that you’re not quite doing any one thing to the BEST of your ability and that mainly you’re just doing EVERYTHING sorta average?
That was me.
But that is all coming to an end!!! We have now moved 3 mins walking distance from our kids’ school, they are now officially both in full time school, and here’s the best part…. wait for it…..
I hired a STUDIO MANAGER!!!!!!!
And not just any studio manager… no, no. This studio manager is a great friend of mind and an amazing photographer herself. I’ve known her for years now and I’m just so sure that you all are going to love her as much as I do. She has already started to fill the spot perfectly. It’s only day one and already I don’t know how I ever did this without her!
I am soooo happy to say that Shannon Stevenson will be joining me at Jillian Kirby | Baby!!!

For any of you that have followed me for the last couple years, you will remember when Shannon and I worked together at Lucy Lime Studios. That is where we came together and this is where we continue on our journey working our passion and loving what we do! For all of my new clients, I know that Shannon will give you the attention and understanding and every bit of service that I, myself, would. She will be corresponding with you over email, phone and meeting with you in the studio for print pick ups, etc. She will be regularly blogging and chatting on Facebook.
I am just so excited about this new step in JK Baby and I hope you are too! If any of you have any questions on how this will work, please feel free to give me a call or send me off an email. I would love to chat! Or if you just want to welcome Shannon to the team, feel free to send her a “Hello and Welcome” too!
But from me… Welcome Shannon. I am so happy to have you with me and I know this is going to be the start of something beautiful!
