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?
Find it here! Want to give it a try? Use my link to save yourself 24% and if this is your first order…you save an additional 10% too!

Stress less with Thieves: Oshawa Baby & Motherhood Studio Photographer
Congratulations on your newest little love! Brining a newborn home is one of life’s most precious blessings. You are now responsible for someone other than yourself and that can be pretty scary lol.
Newborns are pretty amazing right? Perfect in their own way. However, their immune systems are not strong enough to fight off all the other scary stuff that is out there. One of my favourite products that Young Living is so well known for is Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s the perfect go to multipurpose cleaner that will help keep your new baby (and family) healthy.
Here are 5 ways to keep your home clean naturally and non toxic.
Kitchen Cleaner: 1 capful of Thieves Cleaner into 2 cups of water ( I use a spray bottle) perfect for the fridge, stove, surfaces, sink, oven (great degreaser), inside the fridge and dishwasher to kill germs
Bathroom Cleaner: 1 capful of Thieves Cleaner and 1/4 cup of baking soda.. Use bristled brush for toilets/shower/sinks. Let sit for 5min before rinsing/flushing.
Floors: 1 capful of Thieves Cleaner and 4-6 cups of water. I always add 2-3 drops of lemon oil too. It’s perfect for hardwood or ceramic. Even your deck outside.
Toy Soak: 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner and 3 cups of water in sink or bucket. Let toys soak for 15 min to remove grime and hidden germs, all while providing a non-toxic sanitizer for your tiniest of human. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Windows and Mirrors: 1 capful of Thieves to 2-3 cups of water in glass spray bottle. Zero streaks, 100% natural and ready for you to do it all again when tiny hands hit it’s surface lol
Hello easy button!
Congratulations to my beautiful clients Kelly & Manuel on the arrival of their sweet baby girl.

A First Birthday Beauty
First Birthday’s in the studio are so much fun! Whether you are new to the studio or have been with us on a PKP journey I welcome you!
Meet Laila! She came into the studio last fall to celebrate the big O-N-E! And man oh man did we have fun with her.
Here are a few of my favourites from our session…
She got right into it…in fact we have some shots of her with icing everywhere and a raspberry stained dress lol (don’t worry I sprayed it for mom before she left)
She clearly LOVED every minute of it and couldn’t wait to dive right in. No wonder with this beautiful cake from Sweetery.ca!
As with all our Baby Milestone sessions, we make sure to grab some Classic shots prior to the cake portion of the session. Scroll through to see how quickly babies expressions change…too sweet!
If you are thinking about planning a session to celebrate your little one’s upcoming milestones please reach out to the studio 3 months in advance to avoid disappointment. We do sell out quickly and I would hate to miss out on documenting for you.
Feel free to email me or fill out your inquiry here!
I can’t wait to meet you and your little one…
Much love,
Petra
Baby Girl’s First Birthday: Oshawa Baby Studio Petra King Photography
Every now and then you get the opportunity to meet a wise, sweet and incredible little babe that just has you stop for a minute and watch as she takes in everything during her session. Don’t get me wrong, every baby is amazing and full of personality which I love photographing. However when I met Fenna…and “Chicken” she struck a chord with me that stayed with me for a while after. Fenna was in studio this past summer with her mama to celebrate her 1st Birthday Milestone with some clean, classic portraits.
Maybe it’s the innocence, maybe it’s the curiosity or inquisitiveness or just pure adorableness. Either way this sweet little girl stole the show and made me fall in love with her. I am a HUGE fan of the “European Style” and this little one nailed it. Thanks to her awesome mama!
It’s important to me when photographing your little ones that it’s done in a way of documenting them as is. I do so with minimalism so the focus remains on them. To me that’s most important. When looking back on your babies photographs at these important stages I want them to be timeless classics. Ones that never go out of style.
This adorable outfit is from one of our local makers Jardins Knit Co. You can find her beautiful work here.
The use of clean and classic (yet stylish) outfits for your baby during their milestone sessions should compliment your style, the feel of the photo and still have that emotional connection with mom and dad. Outfits are kept simple in studio for this reason alone. Leaving the rest to me (the photographer) to create a beautiful, fun and timeless experience that you will cherish for years to come.
Scheduling your baby’s milestone sessions is as easy as getting in contact with the studio. We typically do 6-8 months and 9-12 months. However, photographing your little one up to age 2 is always fun just in case you’ve missed out with previous milestones.
I’d love to chat with you and start planning. Contact me today and let’s create some magic for your family legacy!

A little over 2 years apart but oh my goodness I can’t get over how much alike some siblings are. I have had the absolute pleasure and honour of working with this beautiful mama and her sweet family for the last few years and was so excited when she told me she was expecting baby #2.
Fast forward to last month and as soon as I saw her second daughter I literally said…WOW! Now I know I have touched base on this subject recently but it’s SOOO cool watching my families grow and come back to visit.
Introducing Evelyn…
This sweet little one held on till the last 15 minutes of her session. Cluster feeding, cuddles and curious. All completely normal during a newborn session and as always we go with the flow. However when her eyes were too heavy to stay open we were sure to capture her for mom and dad and big sister too.
Lindsey…thank you so very much for bringing Evelyn in for her Newborn Portraits! As always it is such a pleasure!

Baby love:: Whitby Newborn Session
She is gorgeous isn't she? Those cheeks, the fine little eyelashes and oh that baby mouth. Pure squish and I loved working with her during our Newborn session yesterday in studio here in Ajax. Mom was totally relaxed and caught shut eye for a few moments. ;) That was awesome! Meet Mackenzie, 12 days new and adorable. The gorgeous pixie hat used in this session was made from Bubblegirlknits! Lisa thanks very much. Love your work! You can find Lisa's products over at her shop: Bubblegirlknits.
Mom brought a few sweet things with her for the session. It's lovely when clients bring a little bit of their ideas to the table for the session too. It helps customize your newborn session and make it unique to you.
