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's a Boy for Durham Balloons:Petra King Photography
Last month we had the pleasure of meeting the latest addition to Durham Balloons tribe. Congratulations to you Deverae and Clayton on your sweet SWEET little baby boy! We had so much fun photographing him.
World…meet Nathaniel.
I am always excited to meet my littlest clients for the first time. It’s one of the many perks I have doing the job I do. Meeting new people. Creating memories, documenting moments and building relationships. What an honour to be able to do this for my clients. Especially right from the start.
These tiny humans have a built in radar that they are totally aware of their surroundings when they are not home. And it’s pretty amazing to witness. Most parents are unaware and just think that it’s their child fighting sleep or being stubborn lol.
But I know otherwise lol. They take in everything. Listening to me as I talk to them. To comfort them and to hopefully capture their personality for mom and dad as best I can in the time frame we have together. This little guy although small…is mighty and bound for some pretty amazing things.
His proud big sister was right there too to help me and to get a few images of her own in there as well. Congrats mom and dad, big brothers and sisters…he is adorable and I can’t wait to watch him grow. Enjoy!
Maternity Photography
A recent maternity couple in studio for their maternity photography session. A pregnancy brings a lot changes to a couples lives. It can be both exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Wondering how you will manage, if you are doing the right thing, taking care of yourself on a more serious note and in general waiting patiently for this little one to arrive. Sound familiar? Completely normal I promise ;) enter this sweet young nervous couple. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting them as a referral from another client. Thanks so much S! Mom to be was very timid in the beginning but we made sure she was comfortable, offered gentle guidance and she was a natural. Here are some of her gorgeous photographs we captured that day.
Baby love:: Whitby Newborn Session
She is gorgeous isn't she? Those cheeks, the fine little eyelashes and oh that baby mouth. Pure squish and I loved working with her during our Newborn session yesterday in studio here in Ajax. Mom was totally relaxed and caught shut eye for a few moments. ;) That was awesome! Meet Mackenzie, 12 days new and adorable. The gorgeous pixie hat used in this session was made from Bubblegirlknits! Lisa thanks very much. Love your work! You can find Lisa's products over at her shop: Bubblegirlknits.
Mom brought a few sweet things with her for the session. It's lovely when clients bring a little bit of their ideas to the table for the session too. It helps customize your newborn session and make it unique to you.
2011 A year in review: Life in portraits

Thank you. Each and everyone of you!
