Newborn Baby Girl: Petra King Photography I Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer
The journey of documenting life’s most important milestones never loses its magic. From maternity and newborn sessions to first birthday’s and beyond, it s a privilege to preserve these moments for my clients. Every chapter tells a story and I’m honoured to help you hold onto the memories that matter most.
There’s something truly magical about welcoming a new life into the world. Those first few days with your newborn are a whirlwind of emotions—overwhelming love, quiet wonder, and the incredible realization that life will never be the same. These fleeting moments pass in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, your tiny baby will be stretching, growing, and changing every day. Or wondering where the time has gone as your youngest is now in University!
That’s why I am so passionate about portrait photography. It’s more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving the feeling of these early days, the softness of tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the peaceful expressions as they sleep, and the love that fills the room. These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
What sets me photography sessions apart? I create a warm, relaxed, and safe environment where both baby and parents can feel at ease. You are family when you walk into the studio. With a soft, timeless, and natural approach, I focus on capturing the purity and beauty of your baby without distractions. Simple and natural. Every detail, from the gentle posing to the delicate textures and soft lighting, is designed to highlight the love and connection that makes your family unique.
As a portrait photographer with a career that spans the last 19 years, I have the privilege of documenting life’s most cherished milestonesThank you for the —maternity, newborn, first birthdays , family sessions and beyond. It’s not just about capturing images; it’s about telling your family’s story, celebrating each chapter, and preserving the emotions that come with them.

Top 5 Oils for new Moms: Petra King Photography I Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer
Welcoming a new baby into your lives is HUGE. It’s a BIG change to your family dynamics, be it your first or not. Along with these changes come a whole bag of tricks that we are generally unprepared for. Sleep deprivation, emotions, stress, fighting germs and oh ya…hormones.
I am here to help make motherhood easier.If you are concerned about all the crap that is out there and worried what’s best for you and baby, this will help. Bite sized info that are easy to digest. Any help or advice on what works while you are in the thick of things is what most moms crave, right? And at the end of the day YOU need to do what you believe is best. These are MY top 5 oils for new moms that I know you will love and appreciate.
Lavender
This is not your Grandmother’s lavender bathroom spray lol. This is the Swiss Army of oils. It also smells way different. In the best way too, because what we are used to is synthetic or a fragrance. YL Lavender is pure. Uplifts moods, amazing to unwind and my go to for sleep, skin (anti-fungal/inflammatory properties) Scrapes,bites and a great antihistamine.
Copiaba
Once teething hits…this is a lifesaver :) It’s powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic properties help to ease the pain on tender gums in minutes. It is also great for the nervous system, healing the skin and for colds/respiratory system.
Thieves
One oil I cannot live without! Every home needs Thieves and those who use it will totally speak volumes about it too. Thieves kills 99.98% of germs. Amazing for your immune support, keeping you healthy and warding off sickness. It dates back to the 15th Century when grave robbers stole from the sick/dying during the plague. It is YL’s #1 seller. They have a whole home cleaning line using Thieves oil.
Peace and Calming
This beautiful blend is perfect for calming and soothing anxiety, stress, hyperactiveness and can help with insomnia. Great support for your emotional and nervous system too!
Progessence Photo Plus (PPP)
Let’s talk about homones shall we? They aren’t fun and one minute you are hot the next freezing and in tears. I get it…been there lol. Progessence supports healthy hormone balance in women. It contains natural hormone extract (use progesterone) from wild yams. Provides relief during PMS and menopause, endometriosis, PCOS, PPD, hot flashes, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain and so much more. I love it. I use it twice a day (am and night) 1-2 drops as part of my daily routine.

Tip to save you time and money: Oshawa Brighton Newborn Family Photographer
So you can get back to all the things that matter. Like snuggling your newborn and focusing on your new role as a Mom and Dad.
Your sweet little one is finally here and you come home totally exhausted but so in love. As life and a new routine kick in you realize that some chores need to fall to the way side. If you were like me that meant letting go of constantly needing to keep things clean.
So how can you do this and still keep things germ free especially with a newborn? Thieves Household Cleaner. That’s how! If you’ve been around a while you’lll know how much I love it. You see me using it in reels, stories and posts online. And if you’ve been to the studio, I use it before your arrival and after for clean up too.
Easiest way to grab a bottle for yourself and save 24% in the process is to click the button below.
Thieves kills 99.96% of germs. It’s a blend of Rosemary, Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon and Eucalyptus. The Household Cleaner is a multipurpose cleaner that works on everything and is safe for you, your new baby and fur babies too.
It is completely plant based, so ZERO harsh chemicals/toxins. You will never need to crack a window open again while cleaning and you can say goodbye to any side affects of the so called natural products out there (headaches, asthmas, skin irritations and other health issues)
Don’t we all deserve the best for our family? Health is a gift. It’s up to US to make sure that we take care of it and nurture it for those who rely on us.

This sweet curly haired beaut has just been promoted to Big Sis! I have had the pleasure of watching her grow for the last 2 years. She, along with her sweet parents brought in her little baby brother for his milestone portrait recently and did we ever have an amazing session.
For those of you who have yet to experience what an event, newborn, baby & or maternity session is like in and out of studio I’d like to share with you a little about how things flow. PKP takes great pride in making you feel your best and excited to capture your most precious moments for you. You know..the ones that just HAVE to be documented professionally. The moments that matter to YOU and coincidentally to me too!
Meet Immaneul. He was 12 days new when we did his newborn portraits. Big sister, as you can tell is smitten with him.
As with any session, our goal is to make sure that you are comfortable, excited and well informed. When all these three details come together everything else flows naturally. When working with me you’ll know that I am relatively soft spoken. Gentle guidance is given but most of these amazing memorable moments come from you. I just love having the honour to document them for you. So come with an open mind, a calm heart and place your trust in me…knowing that I have something beautiful in store for you!

Thank you buddy, for gracing the studio with your calm, happy, serene nature and for allowing me to document this for your family heirloom albums. I can’t wait to watch you grow and welcome you back in for your upcoming milestone sessions. Mom, Dad and big sister S…enjoy him while he’s this little.
Tender moments, baby led, and perfect. Moments like these you will hold dear to your heart for a lifetime.
I can’t wait to create and see your beauty unfold through my lens.
Till next time Immaneul. Stay sweet and innocent.

New son: Bowmanville,Oshawa,NewbornPhotographer
I LOVE meeting new families in studio. When proud new siblings walk right in and announce that they have a new brother and or sister and start taking off shoes and coats to make themselves at home. That’s usually a good sign that they are comfortable. While us adults giggle about it, and try to exchange welcomes as we get them in and seated.
You’ve just played that scenario in your mind right? LOL Yep it’s pretty much how it unfolded and our newborn sessions are always fun and entertaining when a 2 yr old and newborn are in studio!
But amid the excitement comes the sweetest moments. When a new Dad kisses his baby to help calm them when fussy. To cuddle and soothe and soak in that newborn smell.
And when a new mom to be gently kisses her son’s head…these in between moments are those that are the truest. Unplanned, not posed, just pure perfection. They pull at our heartstrings and stay with us forever.
Congrats to the F family! I can’t wait to see your little men grow! See you soon!
Petra
