Kaleb's Cake Smash: Whitby Cake Smash Photography

We had a LOT of cake smash milestones last year. We are SO grateful and thankful you choose us to celebrate them with you.

It’s not just a birthday! When we celebrate your little ones First Birthday we make sure it’s done for the whole family to know.

From sleepless nights to first smiles and giggles. Right through to stumbling steps. The first year encompasses so much.

You made it!

upon arrival baby feeds off mom’s energy and emotions. So it’s extremely important for me when a new little one comes into the studio, I always match mom’s energy, which is excitement and a little emotional too. It usually hits mama when she arrives or during our session that I can’t believe how fast that year went.

Our Cake smash sessions always start with Classic portraits. During this time, baby gets used to being in a new space and can explore and the whole time I am documenting and creating the sweetest moments for mom and dad.

We'll capture your little one's personality, and all the love you have for them...growing moment by moment!

From the tips of their toes to those little fingers covered in icing, there's so much to celebrate!

Our time together always ends in the sweetest of memories!

So let’s dig into more of this for 2024.

Peyton's Cake Smash: Peterborough Oshawa Cake Smash Photographer

Dear Miss Peyton,

Your mommy and I met what seems like forever ago. During a time when the world was in turmoil and human interaction was far in few in between. She came in for her Maternity session with Meredith ( your makeup artist) and we had an awesome time together laughing and dreaming about if you’d have red hair just like mommy’s.

Sweet baby girl and chubby legs

And guess what…we were right ;)

And oh goodness what a sweet little angel you are. Your personality, demeanour and smiles are contagious.

Dainin's Cake Smash: Toronto Beaches Baby Cake Smash

Building relationships with my clients is so important to me. It’s always an honour to create and tell the story of you and your family.. Especially when it’s right at the beginning of their journey into married life and parenthood.

Cake Smash Green and cream Balloon decor

I met Narm and Spencer back in 2021 when they came in for their Maternity session. You may remember seeing it here.. Such a gorgeous and loving shoot. We met again when their beautiful baby boy turned 6 months for his Baby Milestone session. Time FLIES mama it’s SO crazy. Narm and Spencer invited me to their home to celebrate a cake smash session with their immediate family. Check it out below. Gorgeous decor and these tones were my love language :)

Lifestyle Cake Smash Photography

Narm rented a sweet backdrop for Danin’s cake smash session and had all their favourite family members present. Such a great fun afternoon, full of love and laughter. Little Dainin, didn’t care too much about the cake but sure had fun. Special thanks to Bubble n Bloom, Amore Decor, Velvet Lane Cakes and Cool Green and Shady for all their help that day.

Mother and sone first birthday cake smash

In all of my 17 years experience, babies typically go one way or the other when it comes to Cake Smashes. They either love it or aren’t too keen on getting hands dirty lol. However..they almost ALWAYS love it when mama gives them a taste to start. Clearly Dainin had no trouble digging in (that facial expression tho lol)

Don’t take my word for it though. These Milestones are SO important. The memories we create are priceless. The testimonies from my sweet clients are the best reasons why. Thank you Narm and Spencer for celebrating another Milestone with PKP Photography. We can’t wait to be there for your next one!


The Studio is currently booking 2-3 months out. Send me a note and let’s start planning your beautiful milestone session together today.

All Natural Motherhood & Baby Studio: Oshawa Maternity & Baby Low Tox Living Photography Studio

Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.

I’ll tell you one thing about Motherhood that isn’t scary though. Knowing you aren’t alone. Having a community of friends and family that you can trust and that genuinely care about you. Finding you tribe, person or people (whatever that looks like) is something we all need. We are social creatures and let’s face it. Life is so much better when you have a support system in place. Sharing what works, swapping recipes, going out for coffee/tea dates it’s the health, mental and wellness you and your family need. Because let me tell you, that first year goes by so fast!

When it comes to our children (and our own wellbeing) we only want the best. Making little improvements everyday to live a better, healthier quality of life is something I am very passionate about. Just like when I say you are welcomed into the studio, you are my family. I take care of you while you are here as if you were my own. If you’ve had a session with me you’ll know that rings true ;)

Before your arrive at the studio I run through a routine that I’ve been doing for years. Starting with a deep clean, removing all items from the studio. Floors are first, I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s all natural, plant based, ultra concentrated and non abrasive. I use it on all floors and surfaces, change table, high chair, door handles, toys etc. All throughout my home. No residue, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals and safe for children and pets too. Plus it smells heavenly, which aids in knowing that your experience is healthy, beautiful and welcoming for you and your little ones.

It gives me peace of mind as a mother and business owner that I am giving you the best service and experience you deserve. Low Toxic Living doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul overnight. It’s making small changes to work towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. I’ve been using Young Living daily for the last 10 years and absolutely it. I share what works not only for me and my family, but because I know you and your family will love it too!
