Happy, Healthy and One!: Oshawa Baby Studio Photographer Petra King
Miss. Maisie came into the studio recently with her beautiful family to celebrate her 1st Birthday. I adore this sweet family and have loved watching and documenting them grow over the last few years.
Health and wellness has different meanings to everyone. But I will tell you that if I could go back to when my own children were this age I would have loved to save myself time and money knowing what I know now.
Fast forward to present day and my children are now adults and working their first jobs and onto higher education. But the one thing I wish I did differently back then was learning how easy and cost effective it is to use Young Living’s products. Especially ones that keep my family healthy and free of harsh chemicals and toxins.
So I am here to remind you that your family and milestones matter to me too! I take pride in keeping the studio and my home clean for YOU as well as for my own family. Thieves Household Cleaner is my multipurpose cleaner of choice and works on everything!
One capful in a bucket of water to mop the main floor, 1 capful in a 16oz spray bottle to clean surfaces, glass and mirrors. There are over 300 ways to use Thieves Household Cleaner. Wow right?

Sleep & Sitter Sessions: Oshawa Motherhood Studio Photographer
First time mom or not. Once you have a little one you realize how important the role of sleep plays in growth and development. If your little one is a good sleeper then kudos to you! That’s amazing! However if you were like me and are struggling to find that “good quality sleep” that isn’t a 15 min power nap, then I am here for you mama lol
Drumroll please…I present to you Lavender! Nah mama hang on… this is NOT your Grandma’s :lavender scented soap, bathroom potpourri, full of toxins, smack in your face synthetic fragrances or other crap that gives you a headache and nightmares…this is the REAL deal.
And guess what? It will help you AND your baby and yourself fall asleep and stay asleep.
WHOOT WHOOT!
One of my regrets I have about Motherhood is not knowing about Young Living sooner. Hear me out…I don’t just say this because my family uses products daily. I say this with utmost sincerity that it would have made mommin’g so much easier and stress free.
Take Lavender for instance. It’s coined the “Swiss Army. Knife of oils”. Not only does it help with sleep and creating a beautiful calm and relaxing environment for babies and adults alike, it has SO many uses.
Things like, skin, emotional support, moods, bites, burns, stings just to name a few.
So what does this have to do with sitter sessions? Ever heard the phrase, happy baby happy mom? Yep that…a well rested baby makes for a happy natural session. It allows for me to photograph your little one with them being comfortable, relaxed and happy. Moments and memories that you as a parent will cherish.
If you’d like some more information on Lavender let’s chat.
If you use it already I am so proud of you! Or if you are ready to add it to your mom wellness kit I am so excited for you! You can find it here via my referral link and save yourself 24% off pricing and FREE Shipping from me. Drop me a line and let’s create a better sleep routine today.
Night Night! ;)

Dainin's Cake Smash: Toronto Beaches Baby Cake Smash
Building relationships with my clients is so important to me. It’s always an honour to create and tell the story of you and your family.. Especially when it’s right at the beginning of their journey into married life and parenthood.
Building relationships with my clients is so important to me. It’s always an honour to create and tell the story of you and your family.. Especially when it’s right at the beginning of their journey into married life and parenthood.
I met Narm and Spencer back in 2021 when they came in for their Maternity session. You may remember seeing it here.. Such a gorgeous and loving shoot. We met again when their beautiful baby boy turned 6 months for his Baby Milestone session. Time FLIES mama it’s SO crazy. Narm and Spencer invited me to their home to celebrate a cake smash session with their immediate family. Check it out below. Gorgeous decor and these tones were my love language :)
Narm rented a sweet backdrop for Danin’s cake smash session and had all their favourite family members present. Such a great fun afternoon, full of love and laughter. Little Dainin, didn’t care too much about the cake but sure had fun. Special thanks to Bubble n Bloom, Amore Decor, Velvet Lane Cakes and Cool Green and Shady for all their help that day.
In all of my 17 years experience, babies typically go one way or the other when it comes to Cake Smashes. They either love it or aren’t too keen on getting hands dirty lol. However..they almost ALWAYS love it when mama gives them a taste to start. Clearly Dainin had no trouble digging in (that facial expression tho lol)
Don’t take my word for it though. These Milestones are SO important. The memories we create are priceless. The testimonies from my sweet clients are the best reasons why. Thank you Narm and Spencer for celebrating another Milestone with PKP Photography. We can’t wait to be there for your next one!
The Studio is currently booking 2-3 months out. Send me a note and let’s start planning your beautiful milestone session together today.

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. I know that you and your family will too! Or if you are ready to experience some yourself just follow this link to for a FREE account. Low tox living and every day motherhood is a beautiful friendship :)
As always, here if you have questions or just come for the pretty pictures. That's ok too :)

Happy New Year! Oshawa Durham Region Baby Family Photography
Hello hello!
Christmas break is officially over and while most are back to work/school today, I am sure there are a lot of mama's who will agree that the extra peace and quiet has been nice ;). We had an amazing Holiday season and I hope you and your family did too!
Speaking of family…do you and your family have any traditions? Send me a DM or comment below and let me know what they are. I’d love to learn more about you. I am always intrigued and curious to hear what other cultures love, do and look forward to once a year.
My family has some traditions that we look forward to all year round. My side of the family is from Barbados/Guyana and my husband’s is Scotland. Quite the mix I know but it certainly makes for some interesting meals/traditions. ;) If you have been follow me over on Instagram you’ll have seen I posted our Christmas morning breakfast in my stories. I know it’s not for everyone, but for me it’s so nostalgic and important to carry on traditions with my family. We have a few dishes we eat on Christmas morning and over the whole of the Christmas holiday. But one in particular we love is called Garlic Pork. It is a Guyanese dish that was introduced to Guyana from Portuguese settlers. We enjoy Garlic Pork (beef and pork) with Scotch Bonnet peppers and let it marinate for 6 days before Christmas. If it peaks your interest, you can find a recipe here.
Would you try it? Are you adventurous when it comes to trying different foods/ingredients from around the world? I am. I love it. Growing up, we loved trying different things both in our community and abroad. It’s important for me to live a life with variety, flavour and experiences.
Ok..now I’m hungry lol
And on that note I am off to make dinner :)
Wishing you a wonderful evening ahead. Wishing you health, prosperity and love for the coming year ahead. I have so much in store for you for 2023, I can’t wait to share it all with you and your families mama.
Much love,
Petra
