We've been published! Oshawa_Toronto_Durham Region_Maternity
We have been waiting quite some time to finally announce this amazing news with you all! While we have been in the throws of our busy season over here we are finally getting caught up with posting sessions (I have OCD and post in order lol)
We have already shared a few posts on this amazing shoot that we held back in March but today we are sharing the awesome and humbling news of being published. This was an intense labor of love and one heck of a collaboration with a dozen amazing businesses and sponsors but we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of them. Not to mention our favourite studio space west of PKP…Mint Room Studios in Toronto! My right hand gal and Wedding Florist Extraordinarie Lisa from Aspen Florist was there every step of the way helping to bring this vision to life with her gorgeous fresh flowers and team. We are forever grateful and in awe of how creative she is, not to mention the attention to detail and customer service that she prides herself in. Thank you Lisa…I love you so much girl!
We honoured International Women’s Day this year with elegance and grace with an Ultimate Maternity Event. To celebrate all things motherhood and beauty as every mom to be deserves. This was a once in a lifetime photoshoot for our lucky mom’s to be that was quite the showstopper with an abundance of gorgeous fresh flowers, catering, hair and makeup, wardrobe and gifts for mom to take home. Check out more from our shoot below.
Our friends over at Mint Room Studio’s couldn’t have said it better when they shared our photoshoot. You can read more about it HERE.
Here is a little sneak peak at what we got up to that day….
Special thanks to Kath Films for hanging out with us too! Cheers girl..we love you!
Would you look at these flowers…I can’t tell you how stunning they were and the smell that filled the Ballroom at Mint Room Studios was heavenly! Months after we are still raving about them! Lisa you are AMAZING and so talented. Our mamas and team adored every last detail!

It wasn’t that long ago that this sweet mama came in for her maternity session with her second baby bump. Remember her session HERE?
Well we welcomed her newest addition not too long ago and oh my goodness just wait till you see her.
Meet Brooke….
I can’t express how much I love seeing my repeat families grow! You guys are too cute! Congratulations to you and yes you are doing an amazing job! Mama to mama I get it! I know what you are going through and remember the hard days. Heck…I have 2 teenagers who am I kidding…it’s still hard some days LOL. But that said, the GOOD days far out weigh the crappy ones.
Thank you I & D for bringing your sweet girls in for their milestones and for allowing me to capture these moments for you and your family! I can’t wait to see them grow!
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:

It's been a long time and coming for this wonderful couple! I just KNOW they are going to make awesome parents. Being a parent brings every emotion possible and some that you just aren't prepared for. However as many times as you re-read that Chapter in "what to expect when you are expecting" or listen to all your aunts and close friends tell you about "their" experiences, you honestly don't get it until you are IN it yourself.
I've had the pleasure of knowing this couple for the last 3 years now and I am thrilled to see them welcome a baby to their family. The lovely and well mannered Mr. Ben will certainly be the guard dog for the family. Can't wait to hear about those walks with baby.
Looking forward to meeting him or her in a short few months! All the best and enjoy your sneaks!
Love,
P
Get ready for the best ride of your life!
