Piper | Newborn Photography, Vancouver BC | Jillian Kirby

Jillian Kirby — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:01:05 +0000

First off, don’t you LOVE her name!?! It just suits her so well!

I photographed Piper’s little brother under a two years ago and I was so happy when they brought their daughter back to be photographed! Don’t think I’ve ever seen siblings look so different though!

It was such a pleasure to visit with everyone again and I just so love seeing the newborns I photograph all “growed” up as little people. Sooooo very cool!

Thank you M family for coming by! It was a pleasure!

Leila | Vancouver Newborn Photographer | Jillian Kirby

Jillian Kirby — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:00:16 +0000

This is Miss Leila. My gosh was she a complete angel! Not a peep out of her the entire time she was here. And let me tell you, I had a great time playing with her and posing her in all sorts of sweet and adorable little poses!!

I had a wonderful time this morning with all of you B family! Thank you for coming out!!

Ava | Newborn Photographer, South Surrey BC | Jillian Kirby

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:08:01 +0000

This morning I had the pleasure of photographing Miss Ava. And look at that face!! Can you even stand it?!? I haven’t had a newborn for what feels like forever so it was so nice to get back to it this morning. Ava started out as a very light sleeper and pretty much maintained that the whole session through. But while most babies wake up immediately if posed while in such a light sleep, Ava let me go ahead and do whatever I wanted!

Soooo… we had some fun with Ava!

It was so nice meeting you M family! Thank you for coming and spending your morning with me!

Meet Deana Davies! She is the very multi-talented local momma behind September Lily, a gorgeous online store offering accessories for little girls. I absolutely adore her hair clips and have quite a few for my little girl. Deana and her mother Delores are also the lovely ladies behind the trendy baby and toddler boutique BabyCheeks based in South Surrey.

Check out the feature and if you know a sweet little girly, head over to Deana’s Etsy store and pick her up a few adorable clips!

Grace | Newborn Photography, Langley BC | Jillian Kirby

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:18:21 +0000

I had the absolute honor of photographing dear little Grace the other morning. Grace is a total blessing to this family… and she has been anticipated and patiently waited for, for a long while.

She’s loved and it’s very clear just by the look on her mama’s face… pure pride right there. It’s just amazing to watch. She is going to be cherished the rest of her life and isn’t that so awesome?!

I had an amazing time with you both G! Thank you so much for bringing your little girl over and I can’t wait to see you all again soon!

I absolutely love meeting my clients before the newborn session. It’s so nice to be able to discuss names and plans and nursery design, etc. Then when they come back in a few weeks for the baby photos, it’s more like a little reunion!

I had a wonderful morning with R and S at their mini-maternity session! I can’t wait to see you all again soon with baby in tow! Will it be blue or pink!? We’ll find out soon enough!

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:55:05 +0000

Meet Smith! I photographed his mommy’s maternity and his big sister as a newborn two years ago and had such a nice time with both sessions! That’s why I was so happy when Smith’s mommy was the first to respond to my casting call I put out last weekend. I got a new prop (and had a few new poses) I wanted to try out!

So here we go… my brand new prop! Thank you to my mother and father in law for thinking of me and finding this amazing vintage pram for me! I’ve been on the hunt for over a year now and I’m so happy to add it to my collection!! Next up… take it outside to my field and have some fun out there. Come on Mr. Sun… I need you for that one!!

Jillian Kirby — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:48:37 +0000

Meet Miss Brenna! She is a superstar! I’m telling ya… this little girl came in ready for her close up and didn’t really wake up the entire session. I think the whole thing was done in about an hour and a bit!! And that is extremely unusual for newborn sessions! You can usually plan on at least 2.5 hours. But Brenna had other ideas and was the perfect little model.

And check out how super cute she is! Combine the hair with the gorgeous skin and beautiful lips… oh I could have just kept her!

Well here’s a few of my faves for mom! Thanks for bringing Brenna out yesterday. I had a great morning with the both of you!

This gorgeous couple came in to see me today for their mat photos. They are Bambino members so you’ll see them here a couple more times over the coming months. I am so excited for their newborn session because they have twins coming along! And I LOVE twins!!! Doesn’t she look amazing?! She has two babies in there!!

It was so lovely to meet you today M and J! I can’t wait to meet these two little ones!!

Yesterday was so lovely because I got to have the beautiful MarySue from Mama Yoga in White Rock come visit me in my studio. I know that a lot of you reading this blog know MarySue and may have even taken her pre and post natal yoga classes. She is now teaching through Live Yoga and I HIGHLY suggest taking her class!

MarySue brought her gorgeous family along with her and we all just had such a wonderful time photographing her gorgeous belly (can’t wait to see what’s in there… pink or blue?!). MarySue has this calming, comfortable character about her… makes you all warm and fuzzy just to be around her. Her husband and her kiddos are some of the same… just lovely, lovely people!

Ok Jill… stop gushing… show the pictures! Thank you H family for coming along today. It really was my pleasure to make your photos today!! I can’t wait to meet this new little one that’s about to join us!

This gorgeous couple came to see me as part of the special I had going on in May! They were just so cute and I loved that Dad had so many ideas and was so supportive of mom getting these photos done. Such a good sport!! And isn’t she just a stunning mama?!? And she’s only got 5 weeks left to go!!

Anyways, there were soooo many that I loved but here are a couple for you to look at! Enjoy!

Jillian Kirby — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:47:03 +0000

I received an email from Laura, back a month or so ago. She informed me that her and her hubby were expecting and asked if I could photograph the baby when she was born. Well I was absolutely over the moon for them. I’ve worked with these two before and I just can’t tell you how special it was for me to be photographing their gorgeous little girl Eva.

This little girl truly is such a blessing. It made my day to be able to capture her for these two great people! Thank you for coming out L and J. It was wonderful to see you both again!

I heart baby yawns!!!!

I heart baby toes too!!!!

Tonight I had a lovely couple come visit me and we were blessed with an AH-MAZING evening! We started out in the studio and then moved to my field. I have missed photographing my sessions in my field. I have been waiting for the timing to be right to head back out there and do a session…. have I mentioned I LOVE my field?!?!?

Well we got to go out there tonight and I just love the results! I can’t wait to meet the little girl that’s growing… I will see you all in a few short weeks!

This morning sweet Ava came over to see me. What a little doll she was! And her mommy was up for anything so I just played and played!

I photographed little Ava’s cousin about 8 months ago… it’s so nice when I get to photograph family members. There’s just such a nice comfort level.

Anyways, thank you so much for coming out M family! I hope you all like the sneak peek!

Well the blog has been quiet this past week and it’s because I headed on a family vacation with my hubby and kiddos. Actually, apart from camping, this is the first family vacation we’ve ever had!! We headed down to Disneyland for my daughter Ashleigh’s 6th birthday and we had a BLAST! I don’t know who’s eyes were wider… the kids’ or mine!!
