Pickering Oshawa Newborn Baby Boy

Austin. So little. So full of expressions and the biggest newborn stretch I’ve seen in a while ;)

At just 2 weeks this little love was fake sleeping and awake in a minute.

Big sis was oh so proud and such a sweet little girl.

Even while pinching her brother’s nose. LOL…It’s ok..she gave him a kiss after.

Family portraits in the studio are led with gentle guidance but it’s the in between moments that are my favourite.

Thank you S & K for entrusting me with your babies most treasured milestones. Over the years it’s been such an honour. I can’t wait to celebrate the next milestone together with you.

At the same time, Motherhood is also messy. As much as you plan for it, sometimes the unexpected arrises during their stages of growth that leave you exhausted and emotional. Speaking from someone who went through bad postpartum depression and years of meds. Fast forward a little… years ago a beautiful essential oil was introduced to me (well after mine had grown out of the baby stage) but I started using it during my Photography sessions and sharing it with my clients. I had a ton of messages and calls once they used it thanking me for saving their sanity lol.

Gentle Baby is a Blended oil is just that, single oils are mixed together to create a blend. Gentle Baby was designed specifically for expectant mothers and newborn babies. It’s comforting, soothing and relaxing. Helpful during pregnancy, birth and once baby arrives.

Gentle Baby helps with the following:

-stretch marks & wrinkles

-dry and chapped skin

-diaper rash

-colic

-fussy babies

-rashes

-stress

-gas

I wish I had this when my children were babies.. All those sleepless nights, pacing the house while rocking my baby to take away any discomfort and the stress could have been eliminated.

Since essential oils are so concentrated, a super easy way for moms to take them on the go is to create little rollerballs to use anywhere at any time. Gentle Baby (and any oil) can be mixed with a carrier oil (ie: jojoba, coconut, grape seed or V6 oil from Young Living) .

A special thanks to our beautiful clients who came in to celebrate the arrival of their littlest addition. Taylor, Mark and Tatum and Navy, we adore you all and can’t wait to see you again. As always a massive shoutout to Aspen Florist for working her magic to create such GORGEOUS and timeless photographs for our families. We love you to pieces!

Creating calm Baby Milestone Sessions: Oshawa Baby Photography Studio

Hey mama,

Hope you’ve had a great week so far? Does anyone else feel like time is flying by but yet winter is still dragging on? Missing the sunshine desperately and I’d be lying if I didn’t do a little dance every time it pops out haaa. Although one way I’ve been keeping my mood and emotions in check is with a lot of support from Young Living. A lot of deep inhaling has been going on these days… :) If you’ve been here for a while you know that I started sharing YL to our Motherhood session and everyday life. It’s part of our daily routine around here, nothing new. But something I knew YOU and your littles would love to learn about too.

Speaking of scents, one of my fav’s to use with Baby Milestone sessions is Lavender. Calming, soothing, relaxes fussy or anxious babies (and nervous moms) It’s usually in the diffuser in studio and I like to wear a little too. It helps create an environment that everyone enjoys being in.

Plus…happy baby, happy mama = happy photographer :)

3 Cool Tips about scents you may not know:

Did you know that smell has the ability to bring back memories.

Keeps us present and grounded

and

Helps shift perspectives and brings greater awareness to our needs.

Pretty cool right? I am sure you’ve experienced that many a times in your life.

Have you ever experienced lavender? Real lavender? It’s such a complex beautiful smell. One of my bucket list’s is to travel to France and experience a Lavender farm. Another fun fact…Lavender is considered the Swiss Army of oils. Which is pretty fascinating knowing that this super oil helps you and your family in so many ways.

Sleep, healing, great for the skin, digestion and of course soothes the mind, body and soul. Just to name a few things it helps support the body with.

You and your baby’s experience in the studio matter to me. Helping to calm the nerves with you both so you are excited to create memories is what we pride ourselves in. Come in for the portraits and memories, stay a little for a serene experience that will fill your senses and heart.


If you have any questions about Lavender, or maybe I’ve peaked your curiosity to try some yourself, feel free to email me anytime. I’d love to share more with you on the product/s I love using.

As always, here if you have questions or just come for the pretty pictures. That's ok too :)

All Natural Motherhood & Baby Studio: Oshawa Maternity & Baby Low Tox Living Photography Studio

Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.

Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.

I’ll tell you one thing about Motherhood that isn’t scary though. Knowing you aren’t alone. Having a community of friends and family that you can trust and that genuinely care about you. Finding you tribe, person or people (whatever that looks like) is something we all need. We are social creatures and let’s face it. Life is so much better when you have a support system in place. Sharing what works, swapping recipes, going out for coffee/tea dates it’s the health, mental and wellness you and your family need. Because let me tell you, that first year goes by so fast!

When it comes to our children (and our own wellbeing) we only want the best. Making little improvements everyday to live a better, healthier quality of life is something I am very passionate about. Just like when I say you are welcomed into the studio, you are my family. I take care of you while you are here as if you were my own. If you’ve had a session with me you’ll know that rings true ;)

Before your arrive at the studio I run through a routine that I’ve been doing for years. Starting with a deep clean, removing all items from the studio. Floors are first, I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s all natural, plant based, ultra concentrated and non abrasive. I use it on all floors and surfaces, change table, high chair, door handles, toys etc. All throughout my home. No residue, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals and safe for children and pets too. Plus it smells heavenly, which aids in knowing that your experience is healthy, beautiful and welcoming for you and your little ones.

It gives me peace of mind as a mother and business owner that I am giving you the best service and experience you deserve. Low Toxic Living doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul overnight. It’s making small changes to work towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. I’ve been using Young Living daily for the last 10 years and absolutely it. I share what works not only for me and my family, but because I know you and your family will love it too!

David Austin Baby Session: Oshawa Floral Baby Photography

I have SO many things I love about being a Photographer. However when it comes to babies, new families and gorgeous David Austin Roses…it makes my heart beat a little faster.

David Austin Newborn Photos

I am constantly reminded with every passing month at just how much my little business has grown. The connections, the milestones and endless memories that are banked in my mind leave me speechless at times. Thank you for choosing me and my beautiful partners/team and best friends in mind when booking. We are ever grateful for you and your trust in us to create for you!

Newborn Baby girl and David Austin Wreath of Roses

This gorgeous little family invited both myself and Lisa from Aspen Florist into their home for an absolutely stunning baby session. Lisa only uses the absolute BEST when it comes to her florals. I mean just look at these blooms. Stunning David Austin Wedding Roses have become a Signature Floral Session of PKP and Aspen Littles. You can clearly see why! Little Sophie was so lucky to be on a bed of roses (quite literally). Be it inside and out of the studio, weddings/events and of course at Aspen Petals located at Pink Lemon Decor, Lisa goes above and beyond every single time. Thank you for all you do for us all Lisa.

Kyle & Julie are completely smitten with sweet little Sophie and it’s easy to see. She has daddy wrapped around his finger already hee hee.

The Gift of Motherhood is something that stuck this beautiful sweet mama hard during her session. Julie welcomed her daughter into the world after losing an incredible woman in her life. Her Mom… I could feel the emotions in the room. I could feel her mom’s presence and I know Julie could too. Moments that are so personal, sentimental and powerful are little miracles in disguise. Blessings from above that remind us how precious life is and leave us humbled and in awe. Thank you Julie, for allowing me document these early days of Sophie’s life for you and Kyle. The 3 of you left me speechless that day.
