Elevate your Motherhood journey with natural solutions: Ajax Oshawa Baby Family Photography

I hear it all the time. Well that year flew! LOL.

On my blog and in my socials I talk about Motherhood a LOT in case you haven’t noticed :) That’s because.it’s been my niche for the last 18 years. So I have may have grown little in both experience from my own family and yours too. During this time my journey as a mom and business owner has allowed me to help create, document and celebrate life’s important milestones for you. It’s also allowed me to share what I am passionate about and my love of natural products.

One of the ways I love helping my clients is through the education of natural products from Young Living that help to make the journey of Motherhood easier. Let’s face it. It’s hard enough.

So if can help share out some simple ways to make changes towards natural products that will save you time, money and be better for your health…than you bet I am going to do it. They work for us and thousands of others and I know they will work for you too. Plus…I know you are going to love them as much as I do too.

Here’s how easy it is to get started. Becoming a member is free. You can get started here and be connected to me to have access to my 24% savings. Plus…you’ll receive 10% off your first order too!

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. It’s not all or nothing. Baby steps mom. Figuring out where to start first (maybe it’s swapping current cleaning product, maybe it’s your laundry detergent) Ditching the toxins and switching over to all natural is simple. And SO much better for you. Goodbye side effects and harsh chemicals. If not for yourself, for your little one and the future of your family.

Your family is my family. While inside the studio and out. We journey together before and after your session, which is such a beautiful thing really. I am always honoured to capture and watch your family grow.

Congratulations mom, if you’ve just had your baby, be it your first or if you are expanding your family…well done! Now comes the work. :) Motherhood is so amazing. It will leave you speechless, exhausted and full of so much love for this little one that you’d do anything for them.

At the same time, Motherhood is also messy. As much as you plan for it, sometimes the unexpected arrises during their stages of growth that leave you exhausted and emotional. Speaking from someone who went through bad postpartum depression and years of meds. Fast forward a little… years ago a beautiful essential oil was introduced to me (well after mine had grown out of the baby stage) but I started using it during my Photography sessions and sharing it with my clients. I had a ton of messages and calls once they used it thanking me for saving their sanity lol.

Gentle Baby is a Blended oil is just that, single oils are mixed together to create a blend. Gentle Baby was designed specifically for expectant mothers and newborn babies. It’s comforting, soothing and relaxing. Helpful during pregnancy, birth and once baby arrives.

Gentle Baby helps with the following:

-stretch marks & wrinkles

-dry and chapped skin

-diaper rash

-colic

-fussy babies

-rashes

-stress

-gas

I wish I had this when my children were babies.. All those sleepless nights, pacing the house while rocking my baby to take away any discomfort and the stress could have been eliminated.

Since essential oils are so concentrated, a super easy way for moms to take them on the go is to create little rollerballs to use anywhere at any time. Gentle Baby (and any oil) can be mixed with a carrier oil (ie: jojoba, coconut, grape seed or V6 oil from Young Living) .

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.

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!

Dreaming of the beach Oshawa Newcastle Family Photography

It’s January, the days are long, dark and cold. Does anyone else feel like the winter months drag on and on and when spring and summer roll around it’s gone in the blink of an eye? LOL…WHY? Why is this always the case? I mean I know we long for summer time, the warmth of the sun and breezy nights. But I wish we could bottle that feeling up and open it to rejuvenate ourselves whenever we wanted.

Today on my Instagram stories I shared a little of how I’ve been struggling with the winter blah’s. I must admit, I am NOT a winter lover. Haaa..while it’s perfect for Christmas Day, I could easily have enough for one week and then hibernate or move south :) As a busy mom of 2 teens, a dog mama and running my Portrait Studio it’s hard to carve out pockets of time for myself. BUT I do make it a non negotiable to get a workout in. Additionally it’s so important to take the right supplements and vitamins to support your body. If you are a busy mom and reading this you are well aware that most days it’s even hard to get a meal in. Be it hot, cold or the kids leftovers am I right?

I am very in tune with my body and when the emotions and feelings dip, I reach for things that work and that make me feel more like myself. For me that starts with my essential oils. I have been using them for about 10 years and sharing more and more with you about what I use on the daily. What I clean the studio with, diffuse during your sessions and when it’s time for sleep…what my favourite go to’s are.

There has been such a great response and interest in what I’ve been sharing of late. So first and foremost I LOVE that you are loving it too. So if you see something I use or do and it sparks your intrest or you want to learn more about, just ask. I am an open book and love sharing my favourite oils, products and daily routines with you too. Honestly…I know you will love them too.

Healthyfamiliesarehappyfamilies

Feel free to follow along if you’d like. I will be sharing more in the coming weeks ahead. If you’ve got questions, you know where to reach me. And if it’s not for you and you are just here for the pretty pictures that’s fine too. LOL.

Have a wonderful and healthy weekend ahead friends. Much love,

Petra

Oshawa Maternity Studio: Healthy Motherhood & Family Low Tox Living

Our Classic Maternity sessions are our most popular session with moms to be. Typically mom will come in by herself or with her husband/partner or SO. But every once in a while the whole family will join in on the celebration.

Our Classic Maternity sessions are our most popular session with moms to be. Typically mom will come in by herself or with her husband/partner or SO. But every once in a while the whole family will join in on the celebration.

And let me tell you, we have so much fun!

It fills my cup when young families come into the studio to celebrate important milestones with me. It’s such an honour! You’re experience, how I make you feel and the memories we document together really are the backbone of my business. And of course gorgeous timeless photographs for you and your loved ones to treasure.

One of the ways as a Business Owner I make this a staple of my service to you is ensuring you know that my home is healthy, cleans and welcoming for you and even your toughest critics.

Ever heard the saying mi Casa et su Casa? It’s true, I welcome you into my home and business studio as family. Kids and babies (and husbands too) quickly become at ease and comfortable. I’ve created a space that makes it easy for you to relax and be excited about our session. A HUGE part of this is peace of mind with how I clean my home and studio. My favourite and longtime love for Thieves Household Cleaner is hands down the best all natural and multipurpose go to product.

Young Living has over 600 products. Not just essential oils :) Their home cleaning products are the best and smell so amazing. Natural and clean, no harsh synthetic chemical scents/fragrances. You may have heard me talk about Thieves and the powerhouse oil/cleaner it is. Did you know that Thieves kills 99,96% of airborne germs and bacteria? Pretty impressive right?

If you have any questions about Thieves Oil/Household Cleaner, or maybe I’ve peaked your curiosity to try some yourself, feel free to email me anytime. I’d love to share more with you on the product/s I love using. I know that you and your family will too! Or if you are ready to experience some yourself just follow this link to for a FREE account.
