Sleep & Sitter Sessions: Oshawa Motherhood Studio Photographer
First time mom or not. Once you have a little one you realize how important the role of sleep plays in growth and development. If your little one is a good sleeper then kudos to you! That’s amazing! However if you were like me and are struggling to find that “good quality sleep” that isn’t a 15 min power nap, then I am here for you mama lol
Drumroll please…I present to you Lavender! Nah mama hang on… this is NOT your Grandma’s :lavender scented soap, bathroom potpourri, full of toxins, smack in your face synthetic fragrances or other crap that gives you a headache and nightmares…this is the REAL deal.
And guess what? It will help you AND your baby and yourself fall asleep and stay asleep.
WHOOT WHOOT!
One of my regrets I have about Motherhood is not knowing about Young Living sooner. Hear me out…I don’t just say this because my family uses products daily. I say this with utmost sincerity that it would have made mommin’g so much easier and stress free.
Take Lavender for instance. It’s coined the “Swiss Army. Knife of oils”. Not only does it help with sleep and creating a beautiful calm and relaxing environment for babies and adults alike, it has SO many uses.
Things like, skin, emotional support, moods, bites, burns, stings just to name a few.
So what does this have to do with sitter sessions? Ever heard the phrase, happy baby happy mom? Yep that…a well rested baby makes for a happy natural session. It allows for me to photograph your little one with them being comfortable, relaxed and happy. Moments and memories that you as a parent will cherish.
If you’d like some more information on Lavender let’s chat.
If you use it already I am so proud of you! Or if you are ready to add it to your mom wellness kit I am so excited for you! You can find it here via my referral link and save yourself 24% off pricing and FREE Shipping from me. Drop me a line and let’s create a better sleep routine today.
Night Night! ;)

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.
And guess what…we were right ;)
And oh goodness what a sweet little angel you are. Your personality, demeanour and smiles are contagious.
Hee hee…I had to…she was so pleased with herself.
The best…
The awe and wonder, chubs and those gorgeous cake from Nest Specialty Desserts.
Thanks for visiting sweetheart. Your session and you were definitely worth waiting for. Till next time.

Baby Milestone- Leo
Meet Leo,
His stunning mama and dad came in to celebrate his arrival after we reopened from yet another province wide lockdown. A couple Maternity session was our initial booking. Since we couldn’t get that done we waited till Leo was a little bigger. Mom and dad are from Brazil and had planned to head south for 3 months to be with family. So we made sure to get a baby session in for them all prior to.
This little guy was so alert and cuddly. Loved hanging out with his mama but I could already tell that he was a daddy’s boy ;)
I mean…just look at that adorable gummy smile with Daddy. Soooo cute.
Thank you David, Livia and Leo for hanging out in the studio with me that day. I had an amazing time chatting with you and giggling at Leo’s amazing personality and expressions.
Have an amazing trip and we will see you when you return in the New Year!
xo
She's one year's old!
I seriously love my job! No…like seriously love it! Especially when it connects me to such amazing people who have little people that are equally as amazing. ;)
This little pudding’ is Audrey. She came in for her 1st Birthday celebration with her big sister. If you ever wonder what our Baby sessions are like, think of fun, snack breaks, speed and silliness. From time to time there are they shy ones too. But rest assured we take the time to let baby adjust to new surroundings.
Dance, Play, Pout, be sassy, throw tantrums and scream…ya know..the usual. And then in comes big sissy asking for hugs and kisses.
Of course we couldn’t miss the opportunity to capture this gorgeous girl. Meet sweet big sister Emery. The most adorable smile and so kind hearted. This girl is going places I tell ya.
She showed off some dance moves and her free spirited nature. I mean…soooo cute!
These two little ones had a blast. But what killed me was the poses and dancing we got from Audrey at the end of her session. Cause ya know…snacks are life right?
Look at that cheesy grin. Haaa…I think she was smelling it.
mmmmmm lol
See you soon sweeties… Thank you for hanging in the studio!
Xavier- Brand Ambassador 2021
You’ve probably seen me posting this sweet little guy around social media over the last 5 months or so. That’s because he is our newest Brand Ambassador.
And yes….he’s sooooo stinking cute. I swear I am so lucky to work with such amazing families and the best babies ever!
I just can’t with his adorable little features. Definitely a future ladies man lol.
Xavier you are full of fun and expressions. I can’t wait till our next milestone session together real soon!
Keep your eyes out for this little guy and join us as I document his journey and new skills learned as he grows.
Thank you so much and see you soon Xav

Etta turns ONE_OshawaBabyStudioPhotographer_PetraKingPhotography
Next on the blog is sweet Etta! You may remember her moms beautiful Floral Maternity session HERE. How has 1 year flown by already?
Little Miss Etta is such a doll and was the most quiet sweetest little babe while in studio. Inquisitive and happy. Loved looking out the studio windows and looking for birds and cars lol. It is always such a beautiful experience when watching PKP & Aspen Littles explore, share their new tricks and learned skills in front of the camera. Mom & Dad’s are proud and encouraging while enjoying watching me capture this for them. That is a great honour so I thank you for choosing us to document these fleeting moments for you!
I absolutely love the fresh floral arrangements that Aspen Florist creates for our session. There are so many reasons to book a floral session should this be something you’d like to consider and be in your budget. But apart from the stunning imagery and custom experience you receive, the number one thing I love is the attention to detail and creativity that Lisa at Aspen Florist pours her heart into. Each blossom, is carefully handpicked & processed. But it doesn’t stop there, prior to your session she arrives ahead of you to assemble, organize and curate different set ups for you. Right down to the last petal placement.
Pending on the number of ppl in studio during COVID restrictions too, she often stays to be hands on during our shoots. To replace the details our babies so love to enjoy, touch and feel so that your images are just perfect heirloom memories!
I love watching her work (while we chat) and I handle any last minute details for you. Our attention to detail, health and safety (always, not just during COVID) is something we pride ourselves in.
While you are in studio you are MY family…and for that I am grateful for and oh so excited to provide you with the level of service you deserve!
Thank you to Erin & Mark and of course sweet Etta for celebrating your 1st Birthday with is. W absolutely loved having you in studio to create and document you for your birthday milestone.
Can’t wait to welcome you back!
If you are interested in booking your little one’s milestone first birthday session, contact the studio today. We suggest booking 3-6 months in advance to avoid missing out. We can’t wait to plan and celebrate with you!
