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.

Quarentine and a sweet one year old!
Hello everyone!
First of all how are you doing? How are you coping with Quarantine and lockdown? I hope you’ve been staying healthy during these uncertain and tough times? It’s been a weird time for us hasn’t it? However, keep positive and healthy. We have so much to be thankful for.
I just sent out a newsletter yesterday and expressed how much I miss you all and working. I do hope that we will be back to a new normal fairly soon!
I decided to take some time off from blogging over the lockdown as the family took over. Like all of you we were inside staying safe. Which left little creativity and time to yourself to focus lol ;) However, it feels awesome to be back and I am optimistic we will be back fairly soon.
This next blog post is a little overdue from last year but we have been getting caught up with our sessions. So a HUGE thanks for mom and dad for their patience!
Meet Mila. This sweetpea came in with mom and dad to celebrate her 1st birthday! Her expressions and innocence melted our hearts.
In celebration of her First Birthday mom and dad went with a cake smash package that was a lot of fun. Below are some of the moments we documented and giggled about the whole time.
This beautiful shoot was made possible with our amazing local businesses that we partner with. The sweetest custom homemade cake from the amazing Danielle Petrik Sweetery. The florals in this shoot was care of the wonderful Aspen Florist.
Thank you mom and dad from bringing in Mila. We have loved watching her grow and can’t wait to see you again in the near future!
At this point we are still uncertain what date we are allowed to resume business in the studio but until then,I would like to wish you all a safe next few weeks. Stay safe, stay healthy and we look forward to the milestones we will celebrate in the near future.
If you have not already signed up for the newsletter but would like to receive it, please feel free to click HERE.
Miss you much!

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!

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.
