A Beautiful Fall Family Session: Whitby, GTA Family Photography
Every year I look forward to Fall Family photos with my clients. Scheduling your fall family session is best done as early as possible. My studio and wedding schedule fill up fast so the limited dates remaining are always a juggling act. BUT I will do everything I can (weather pending) to make memories for you with colours and tones like this.
When planning your session, take nap time and your schedule in mind. If you have little ones, we want them happy and fresh. If you have older kids, you have more flexibility to go on little adventures and create memories with them at the same time.
Golden hour before the sun sets is most popular with my clients. You can clearly see why. Warm tones, and sun flares never fail for the emotive and captivating portraits that draw you right in.
If you are thinking of booking a family session, consider booking sooner than later. Contact the studio and we can start planning yours today!
What does your family story look like?

Autumn Fall Fun: Whitby Greater Toronto Area Family Photographer
Over the last 6 plus years I have loved documenting this beautiful young family. I get excited when Lindsay reaches out with a disclaimer about what craziness or mood the kids are up too. It’s a challenge, and I mean that in the best way. Not that it puts me out by any means. It keeps me young and the mood light. These kids keep me on my toes and I freaking love it. Every time I photograph Lindsay & Scott it’s always so much fun. Side splitting laughs, the kids are balls of energy and mom and dad are the coolest to work with.
Pssst…hey kids!
Sessions are meant to be fun. I typically have an idea of what I know my mom and dad’s will love and cherish but during our family sessions the goal is to just be. Gentle guidance, Me telling stupid kid jokes that often evolve around potty talk…cause let’s face it. Kids laugh and smile at that right? :)
Personalities shine through
Some small
Some BIG
Always a whole lotta love
And what session wouldn’t be complete without a few tickle fest’s and just ONE nice pic with mom?
When kids get to take a picture…
VS when I get to take a picture…
The goal is gorgeous memories and photographs. The destination however, on how we get to our goal boils down to the experience with me and how I make you feel.

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!)
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.
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. If you aren’t subscribed.. we’d love to have a PKP Insider so you can have access to the early bird release! Add yourself via the website or reach out and I can always add you on.

Amalia's Maternity Session: Toronto Oshawa Maternity Photographer
When I first connected with Amalia she informed me she was looking to capture her 2nd pregnancy with her little family. She also wanted to incorporate a sentimental outfit. So of course I couldn’t wait to see what this was. Amalia and her family came in from the west end of Toronto. Although they call Italy home, and are fairly new to Canada they are fitting and adjusting perfectly!
See those adorable overalls? They came all the way from Italy and Amaila’s mother wore them when she was expecting her. I mean…how cute is that? I LOVE when clients bring in a little piece of them and items that are sentimental. Call me old fashioned but it’s little details like this that really make your session that much more memorable.
Thank you Amalia and family. We had so much fun with our session and I can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio in the near future. All the best with your sweet baby girl! We can’t wait to hear of her arrival. xo
Flynn and Family
Do you guys remember little Flynn? He came in when he was a wee babe with his mama. She wanted to capture him before he grew any older. He was stinking cute then and is still stinking cute.
Mom reached out to book a Fall Family session with me and we hopped in the car to meet up. The colours this week were amazing.
What do you think? Mama’s Boy?
Or Daddy’s buddy…?
Sessions with toddlers are never dull. A ton of fun, lots of laughs, some up and downs and a ball of energy.
We ended our session like this….
LOL…I can hear all the mom’s screaming…nooooooo
Don’t worry..milliseconds late he threw it on the ground.
PSA…no toddler was harmed in these frames. Snake slithered off so I am sure it was fine too :)
Thank you Tim,Caroline & Flynn. It’s always amazing working with you guys and can’t wait to see you again in the near future.
Much love,
P
