Little 5 day old baby boy

Photographing little newborn babies is something that I am completely honored to do.  With every new family I journey with each is unique and beautiful in their own way. What a blessing to get to know them, to listen to how the met, their history and hear their future plans.  I LOVE welcoming a newborn into the world and am humbled every time a newborn comes into the studio.  This next young adorable family hung out with me earlier this week. It was awesome to see how relaxed and comfortable they were as I worked with their new son. Meet Charlie!  What an adorable 5 day old.  Not a peep out of him till the very end!  Charlie was so alert and curious at the beginning of our session however after a full tummy and dry bottom, the rest was magical.  These little people really are the boss. As mentioned many times before, being a mom helps and you go by their lead.  Patience is key when photographing newborns!

He enjoyed the session too see...

He was the most curious 5 day old I have ever photographed!  Soo cute...had to throw this one in there mom :)

This last photograph is pretty special. This blanket is 66 years old.  A true family heirloom on Dad's side.  Dad, Grandpa and many other's

were brought home from the hospital wrapped up in this. Something to cherish for years to come!

 

Kristy, Bryan thank you for allowing me to capture Charlie for you. What a blessing!  Enjoy him, they grow so fast and I'll see you real soon!

Love,

Babyview 3D Prenatel Imaging Pickering: Spotlight on Business

I am proud to announce the next installment of PKP Spotlight on Business!  A very warm welcome goes out to Babyview.ca. Located in Pickering this wonderful business gives us an insight on what they offer for new parents at this exciting milestone in their lives! 3D Imaging!

 Tell us a bit about yourself and how the idea of BabyView was started? 

I have been performing diagnostic ultrasounds since 1990. The first time I saw a 3D baby photo was 9 years ago and I was stunned! I could not believe that the little black and white fetuses I had been assessing all these years looked so real! I was amazed at how developed the features were, even in babies as young as 23weeks. Suddenly, I no longer thought of them as fetuses but as babies, and I became fascinated with the technology that allowed me to observe them in the womb with such incredible detail.

I remember thinking, if I feel this much joy watching a baby that isn’t even mine,  imagine how it would feel for the parents-to-be! Thus, the reason BabyView was “born”

 

Why is BabyView so much better than other ultrasound locations?

As with any service industry, it is the people providing the service that distinguishes one like business from another. Essentially, the technology and equipment used to produce 3D images is the same from location to location. It is the friendly, personalized service that BabyView provides to every person that walks in the door that puts BabyView miles ahead of the other locations. My team and I love what we do, we have a lot of fun and we all share in the celebration of the parents and their families and friends. BabyView is not a large franchise where moms are just another scan, as I mentioned before, I consider BabyView an extension of myself and I personally oversee every aspect of it.

 

What is the best part of your job?

It’s really hard to think of what I do as a job! To me a job implies work and very rarely do I associate words such as joy, happiness and excitement with the idea of work. I usually think of BabyView as my “baby”, it was born of me and it’s very much a part of me, my life and the life of my family. What is the best part of BabyView?  Not only am I able to bring inexplicable joy to expectant parents and the families waiting to welcome  their new little baby, but it also provides me with great satisfaction and fulfillment, it gives me a sense of purpose. I am really proud of BabyView !

Natural Light Newborns:: On the flip side

I would have to say that 99.9% of my newborn photography is with studio lighting.  However there are times when natural lighting sessions are done. Equally beautiful and just as unique for the new parents, newborn sessions really are hands down the most precious way to celebrate your little ones arrival.

 

 

 

Expecting or know someone who is? Contact me today for more info on how to book a Maternity Session OR a Newborn Session.  Maternity sessions on location are SO much fun.  Just take a look at a recent one with a stunning mama found HERE.

Goodbye to 2011: Embracing 2012 together!

Well here we are, the last post of 2011.  It certainly has been a BUSY but exciting year!  I have met SO many wonderful new clients and to my repeat business I thank you for being loyal!  You are all awesome.  I have watched your families grow, expand and gone through so many highs and the lows with you too. There is so much in store for Petra King Photography in 2012! I am VERY excited and can't wait to share it all with you. However like everything else I do, it's a lot of hard work.  But I love learning as I grow my business.  I know that patience is key and that good things DO come to those who wait.  YOU have all taught me that.

I look forward to sharing 2012 with you and want to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!

God Bless and see you soon!
