Mother's Day 2022: Oshawa Motherhood Baby Portrait Studio Photographer

We have two annual events that we offer mini sessions for. Both are our favourites and celebrate the magic of motherhood and your family. This past Mother’s Day was one of them and it was nothing shy of awesome. Thank you to all the mama’s and littles who joined us. Our favourite partners joined us again this year. Aspen Florist created a stunning fresh floral scene for your Motherhood mini session. Our gorgeous mamas were also treated to Durham’s famous sugar cookies from Danielle Petrik Sweetery. Lucky for them to dine on the last of her baking for a while as we lost Danielle and her beautiful business to the Corporate world. We wish you all the best Danielle, we will certainly miss you! We also loved that Meredith from Makeup with Mer pampered our mamas too! They looked and felt gorgeous! Thanks once again Mer!

Okay…taking a moment to address these stunning blooms David Austin Wedding Roses, Dahlia’s and Ruscus for greenery. Aspen Florist you spoil us so ( but we LOVE it!)

2022 Mother's Day Flowers

Peach, coral, creams and soft pastels mixes with greenery was our colour palette this past year. A summer garden arbour was designed in studio and smelled heavenly. I am not going to lie, every mama who came in for their session let out a huge gasp when they saw the set. I am always in awe of the WOW factor she creates every single time.

David Austin Wedding Roses Mothers Day 2022

I hear all too often from our clients that they wish they had portraits of themselves with their children. I am here to tell you not to wait. Just do it! The “right time” never really comes around and before you know it…the stage that you love about them RIGHT NOW, has passed.

You know the old saying, a shoemaker doesn’t have any nice shoes…well same goes for this photographer mama. Although I have photographs of my children, I wish that I had taken my own advice and jumped in front of the camera and been present more. Yes it was a different time, the digital age was JUST starting out and I was not a photographer back then.

Please do this for your future self. She will LOVE that you’ve done so.

If you missed out this past year on hopping in with your kiddos for some portraits stay tuned. Our 2023 Mother’s Day dates will be released soon via our newsletter.
