Mother's Day Motherhood Minis
More than ever, 2021 proved to us that time is precious and memories and moments must be documented. Every year we hold a Motherhood event in the studio with our business partners Aspen Florist and Danielle Petrik Sweetery. PricelessBeauty also joined us and gave our mamas a little extra pampering for their session. Everyone looked stunning! This past year thanks to the Pandemic we had to push the date multiple times working around restrictions and lockdowns.
When we finally were able to conduct business in the the studio we were so excited. Here are some of the beauty we captured earlier this past year.
These STUNNING soft and oh so pretty fresh florals always make the studio feel so amazing. Everyone that came into the studio for their session gasped at their beauty. Thank you Lisa for another amazing set and successful event.
Mamas and babies are always near and dear to my heart but these gorgeous, strong and beautiful moms were simply glowing! Thank you so much for joining us this year and we can’t wait to see you and your adorable little ones in the studio again in the near future.
Thank you ladies…much love and your adorable babies. We had so much fun!
Till next year!

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

Florals & Motherhood_ Oshawa_Toronto_Maternity_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
Hello and good afternoon!
If you are new here to the blog welcome! For those familiar with this space welcome back ;) It is officially the first day of Summer here in Toronto and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Sun is shining, fluffy clouds fill the air, breezy and a gorgeous blue sky for miles and miles. We are celebrating with florals and motherhood!
Although the sky is blue, you won’t find any in this next posting. Meet Stefanny. This stunning mom to be reached out to celebrate her pregnancy alongside with her hubby. This sweet couple are expecting a baby girl soon so we celebrated with pink and gorgeous elegant tones of chocolate peonies. Just take a look to see what gorgeous work Aspen Florist created and how effortlessly Stefanny glowed during her session.
We are wishing you a very smooth delivery Stefanny and can’t wait to hear the good news. Enjoy these beautiful memories. Both yourself and A took our breath away.

Ultimate Maternity Session: Toronto_Oshawa_Maternity_Event_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
So what if I told you that we held an event for expecting moms back in March that was “thee” Ultimate Maternity Session? What if I also told you that it was more than any of us imagined?
If you are a regular around here you will have remembered seeing my posts, hype and sneak peaks for this magical shoot. But then we kinda went dark about things… well there was a reason for that. I mean, after the buzz and sneaks via our Highlights on Instagram, the thank you’s to everyone involved both on and offline, business carries on. BUT…we knew it would take some time post production for everything to come together. The reason behind the wait is that we have been waiting for some footage to share with you as well as being published. If you are a photographer or work in editorial/media world, you will know that these things take time. To the general public most of us don’t understand how things work for publishing. Submitting your work to various companies is exciting and scary and can take a LONG time. I have always be one to let my work speak for itself, continuous learning and bettering oneself. My work, and passion for my business has never taken the “me first attitude…look what I did etc etc…” That’s just not who I am. On the other hand, I am well aware that you need to step up and own your business.. To share WHY you are different and what you offer and most importantly HOW you make people feel.
All that said… I am beyond thrilled to be able to finally share with you just what the heck transpired that day. LOL.. THANK YOU so much for your patience, for your messages and curiosity and congratulations!!! It’s been an amazing ride so far and I could NOT have made any of this possible if it was not for my amazing team and sponsors. More so my right hand girl, Lisa at Aspen Florist for being there from day one, right through till the last hour driving home. Thank you as well to Melanie for being there to assist too!
Our Ultimate Maternity Shoot was held down at Mint Room Studios in Toronto. Here is a little of what we got up to that day. Enjoy!
Sound ON….
A huge thank you to Kath Films for capturing everything for us that day. Event planning and organization is a lot of work. Deadlines, agenda’s, workflow, sequencing, technical, set up, tear down, transport, catering, audio, video, lighting, wardrobe changes, hair and makeup, floral arrangements, and a whole lot of muscle when you are a one woman show to set up on site lol! I am pretty sure I forgot a bunch of stuff in there too but you get the point. :) I’d do it all over again in heartbeat!
Here is a gallery snippet of some of the photographs we created that day!
Not all moms were able to share images online but we are happy to share these with you all….
Last but not least, I would like to send a HUGE thanks to all of our amazing sponsors and supporters who were not only generous with their products/services but with their time and platforms to help spread word for us.
In no particular order:
Southern Charm Vintage Rentals
OF course…Thank you to our gorgeous mama’s that came in to experience this amazing event. Best of luck with your journey into motherhood and a huge congrats on the arrivals of your little one’s!!!

Baby Girl-1st Birthday Milestone: Petra King Photography Floral Shoot
When I was contacted to do a shoot for a sweet little one year old girl from this beautiful mama I was thrilled and excited. I knew right away what I wanted for her in studio. In comes Aspen Florist with the most gorgeous David Austin roses. Seriously tho, if you have yet to experience them in real life go see her. She manages to find the most brilliant, heavenly and stunning roses I know.
When this little one arrived with her mama she was nothing but smiles! We knew we were in for some fun! Meet Mia!
Check out the gallery below with some of the adorable captures from our session together!
Mia was so full of expressions, gummy smiles, dimples as you can see. I love LOVE when my clients are comfortable in our studio and babies are relaxed and having fun. It seriously makes for the best experience and photographs and memories!
This adorable little babe is pretty lucky to have such a talented mama. You see her mom is the wonderful maker and baker behind Dream Day Cookies AND Markets By Dream Day! Seriously go check her out. You are welcome ;)
Happy 1st Birthday Mia! Thank you SO much for coming in to see us. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon.
