Berry Cute Cake Smash: Bowmanville Oshawa Baby Studio Photographer
Baby Grier came in for her first birthday. This little one never disappoints. Such a happy go lucky girl. Although I think the strawberries were a little tart :)
Her gorgeous cake thanks to Nadine at Nest Specialty Desserts knocks it out the strawberry patch once again!
Clearly, she could not wait to dive in! A girl after my own heart :)
And in true fashion it was time for a walk…all about balance. Pun intended ;)
Happy First Birthday sweetie! Thank you so much for coming in to celebrate with us. Till next time!

Helpful Dilution Guide: Oshawa Lot-Tox Motherhood Studio Photography
Congratulations and welcome to Young Living! I am SO excited you are here. IF this is your first experience with Essential Oils there are few things I wanted to share to help make it a smooth transition into leading a more low tox lifestyle. And don’t worry mama, it doesn’t mean you need to do it all at once. Swapping out products one at a time is the easiest way to go.
When it comes to Essential Oils, how to use them and applying them, common sense and finding what works for you and your family is important. That’s to beautiful thing about Young Living and the oils/products that they offer to cover everything you need for your home, health, wellness and mind.
But here is a quick graphic to help you get a better understanding of using essential oils with a carrier oil.
Some of my favourite carrier oils to use with Essential Oils are, Refined Liquid Coconut oil (or solid), Jojoba Oil, YL’s V6 Oil or Grapeseed oil and if you don’t have any of those, Olive oil will work too.
Using Essential oils for your family and children offers SO many health benefits. If you are a member already and hooked in with me, we have a wonderful free community that offers a TON of information for you right at your finger tips. If you aren’t a member already and are curious, just let me know and I can extend an invite to you so you can learn and educate yourself on how amazing these all natural products can help you.
Health and wellness (and smiles like this one) are everything! I am so excited you are here and know that you are what YL offers you will be the game changer for you and your family.

Motherhood, Milestones and a drop of wellness :)

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 :)

Why have a Baby Milestone Session: Oshawa Toronto Baby Studio Photographer
Why bother having a Baby Milestone session? Well mama, those chubby fingers and toes won’t stay like that. The cute baby feet and way their fingers curl into a fist will be crawling all over the floor before you know it. If they aren’t already doing so. Seriously, they grow FAST! Documenting this first year and stages you love is something I know you won’t ever regret. Plus think of it this way, these photographs will grow in value year after year. I promise.
When do I book a Baby Milestone session?
Baby Milestone sessions are typically done between 6-8 months and 9-12 months of age. If you’ve had a Maternity session with us and are planning to document your little bundle of love these are amazing ages to photograph. I would put money on it that baby has learned a new skill or two. I’d love to see what that is and document it for you to remember. Babies are so sweet and silly that even playing peek a boo is made into a game while they are here. My studio is relaxes, bright and welcoming. A welcoming environment for babies to feel safe and can let their personalities shine through.

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
What every expecting parent needs to know when choosing a Photographer
If you’ve booked a Maternity session with us or are thinking about doing so Congratulations and Welcome!
I wanted to share a little blurb with you today about the importance of choosing the right Photographer for you. Our community has an abundance of styles, businesses and various levels of Professionals. It’s important to keep these helpful tips in mind:
Make sure you love your photographer.
I am not talking about just loving their work , I am talking about loving their personality. Do your research, inquire about their reputation, brand, ethics and dive into their testimonials to make sure this is the right fit for you. During your session (maternity, baby and beyond) you will be with your photographer a lot. Sometimes in close proximity. Maternity sessions are intimate at times (think of wardrobe changes, adjusting details to be photo ready and of course there are things about our growing bodies that we aren’t quite comfortable with). All completely normal and I am here to help, and to help you feel comfortable in the process.
Baby sessions are beautiful and at times intimate too, mom, if you are still nursing I want you to know that my home studio is quiet, clean and cozy for you to do so. Relax, I’ve got you mom.
In short, regardless of the session you are coming into the studio for, know that you will end up with beautiful memories and gorgeous photographs for you and your family to love. But if I can leave you with one tip today…love your photographer ;) We LOVE what we do and pour a lot into making sure your experience is everything it should be.
Have a fantastic day and see you soon
