Newborn and Baby Photographer Jillian Kirby serves the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada including Vancouver and the Fraser Valley
I have had so many gorgeous mommas-to-be through the studio lately. It’s definitely different from photographing newborns… with babies, I am definitely not in charge in any way shape or form. The baby is calling the shots and we go at his/her pace and do exactly as she/he says!
So it’s a nice change of pace having a model that takes instruction! hahah!
Tara, thank you for coming by… it was a treat photographing you!
I have had a lot of mini maternity’s in the studio lately… lots of folks registering for the Bambino Membership. This always gets me so excited as that means I get to meet mom and dad before the newborn session and see the belly first. Not only that, but I get to see baby back at 6 months to marvel over how he/she has grown. I had so much fun at this maternity session and I can’t wait to meet baby!
This momma is stunning… what else can I say? She is already a momma to two gorgeous girls and she is waiting on her little boy to arrive. She was an absolute natural in front of the camera and I loved every minute of photographing her and meeting and playing with her family. I still can’t count exactly how many hugs I got from the girls as they left but I can’t wait to get more when they come back for their baby brother’s newborn session!
See you soon G family!!
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!

Well I sure have been lacking on posting my Mompreneur Features lately and it’s not for lack of wonderful companies to feature. I have a ton of great local moms doing amazing things here in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley… I just don’t have the time to feature them (I’m having a hard enough time staying on top of my sneak peeks!!). But that’s all going to change…. stay tuned for an announcement coming soon!!!!
And now on to the first feature in a while, Julie Laursen of Little Monkey Store cloth diapering. I must admit I didn’t do this with my two little ones, but looking back, I certainly wish I had. And now, it’s just so readily available, cost effective and better for the environment. Well, let’s learn about Julie!
Keep up to date with the latest!
