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! ;)

That sweet spot: Oshawa Baby Photographer Petra King Photography
That million dollar question…when should I come in for my baby’s milestone session? I get asked this on the weekly so I thought a little blog post would help clarify a few things for mom and dad’s.
That million dollar question…when should I come in for my baby’s milestone session? I get asked this on the weekly so I thought a little blog post would help clarify a few things for mom and dad’s.
So a few things when looking to book your baby milestone session with us. First of all…think ahead. Baby’s grow at a crazy speed lol. What is it you are looking for? Gorgeous portraits that focus on the little details? Documenting the way they sit and concentrate on every single detail? Their personality?
Next think about how you are going to use these photographs? Keepsakes? Updating your walls? Gifting? Photographs are meant to be printed and displayed. You/we go through a lot of planning and work to create and document these memories for you and your family. Don’t keep them on a hard drive/computer or phone. Print those babies out!
Looking back in 3-6 or 9 months time you’ll be like…omg I totally forgot she used to say uh oh when toys fell on the floor :) Trust me..digitals get LOST in a sea of others. Your future mama self will be thankful that you decided to print and display these memories.
Figure out that sweet spot and what matters to YOU. Let’s get your session on the books so there’s no stress or worry about “missing out” due to our busy studio schedule. Because before you know it…the stages and things your little one does will be gone. There’s no butt’s about it :)
We are filling up for Spring. Still some dates remaining so feel free to reach out, email, DM on Instagram or through the website below. I can’t wait to capture your little love for you!

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.

Brand Ambassador Beckett- 6th Month Milestone
Beckett you are such an awesome natured little guy. You are always smiling, or inquisitive and so darn cute!
We love watching you grow and your Milestone Sessions have been so much fun! I can’t believe it has been 6 months already! Where has the time gone?
We scheduled Beckett’s 6 month session and had a lot of fun. While he’s working hard to sit up unassisted he’s still kinda wobbly. And this is pretty normal. As a matter of fact, on rare occasions so I encounter little ones who do at 6 months. Working that core is hard work ya know! LOL.
Regardless, we still had a ton of fun and boy does he ever have eyes for mama. It’s adorable! Check him out!
Here he is showing off his new skills and tricks…
Cutie right?…Wait till you see the loving's he has for his beautiful mama….
Till next time Beckett…keep on rocking’ little guy!
Schedule your baby’s milestone sessions today! Time for by fast and space fills quickly. Inquire on the details and what’s next HERE. I can’t wait to capture some footage and document your little squish with you!
See you soon!

ONE_Oshawa_Durham Region_Floral_Baby_Milestone_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
Over this past year I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing moms, friends, new customers and brides from Aspen Florist. It never ceases to amaze me how much I love working with my clients and being able to journey with them as they grow their little families.
Meet Isla, she just turned ONE. This sweet little pudding I have had the utmost pleasure of watching and documenting her as she has grown in her short life already. Thank you Amy for allowing and trusting us tp do so for you. I am sure you recognize her from our posts on Instagram and know that she is not a stranger to our feeds. I mean how could we not post and share. Just look at that face!
For Isla’s First Birthday we celebrated her session with some gorgeous peonies, greenery and soft pastel tones which were STUNNING. I don’t know how Lisa from Aspen Florist does it but she nails the colours and floral combo’s with our sweet littles every single time. I swear she has ESP lol. Here is a sampling of what we captured that day!
Happy 1st Birthday Isla! Thank you for coming into the studio for us to document this milestone for mommy and daddy and your big brother! You are so loved! Till next time!
Much love,
Petra

6 Months a Family: Oshawa_Ajax_Toronto_Baby_Milestone_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
Morning!
It’s early..like super early. I woke at 3:45am. Body tired and brain racing. So rather than toss and turn and get annoyed with myself here I am. LOL…I know. I know! Some of you would be like…you are insane woman go back to bed. Part of being an entrepreneur is that I find I work at such odd hours but in all honesty I don’t mind. It’s quiet. Just the sound of my thoughts racing and the keyboard.
So jumping right into my next blog entry for you I would like to introduce a sweet little 6 month old and her doting new parents. Meet Leila! Her mama has been following for the better part of the last year and couldn’t wait to come into the studio for her daughters milestone session. Due to some commitments she wasn’t able to come in earlier but I just adored her excitement the day of. Seriously…it’s so humbling and cute to watch new parents enter the studio with expectations high and adrenaline running strong.
Aspen Florist designed some gorgeous florals for us to use that day and mom was totally blown away. Not only was it a coincidence that these blooms were her favourite but the arrangement and colour scheme that morning were on point! Here’s a few memories of what we captured that day!
Aren’t they gorgeous? This sweet young new little family were so much fun to work with. Not to mention little Leila was in a good mood too! Can’t wait to document her grow!
See Dad’s…it’s not that hard now is it? And you think you can’t take a nice picture? Let me show you otherwise…moments like these you’ll be proud to hang up your stunning photographs in your home!
N & B…wishing you all the best with your move into your new home! Have fun and see you soon.
Much love…from one tired (but happy) mama to another!
Happy Tuesday :)
