Simply Motherhood Sessions: Oshawa_Bowmanville_Toronto_Petra_King_Photography

Our 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Sessions were a success!! A HUGE thank you to all the mamas, gorgeous littles and siblings that behaved that day lol. I know all too well how stressful pictures can be. Let alone MOM stepping out in front of the camera to join in. But…our calm and bright enviornment in the studio usually helps with the moods of babies and children. Pair that with taking the time to allow them to warm up and the possibility of a “treat” at the end they are usually golden lol!

That all said…these sessions are always so much fun and full of emotion. It is also a time where we allow mom and babe/children to just be! To be completely relaxed, quiet and interact as they normally would at home. Cuddles, counting ribs to get them to giggle, kisses, etc etc. These are the moments that us mom’s adore! Even more so when that is reciprocated from their little one/s.

Here are a few sneak peaks from just some of our sessions that day. Enjoy…And OMG…would you look at those arrangements? GASP…seriously guys..the studio smelled amazing and looked stunning! All our mama’s took some BTS and we loved that they were sharing their experience too.

Baby Holden: Oshawa Newborn Photographer

Meet Baby Holden! He was another gorgeous baby boy to grace the studio recently for his newborn session with his excited new parents. With the best baby hair style this little sweet old soul was a pro through his session. You hear me say time and time again that every newborn session is different. This was exactly the case with Holden's shoot. I love welcoming first time parents into the studio, making them feel comfortable. Getting to know you as I work through the session. Enjoying every single moment and reassuring mom and dad (who are often exhausted) that they are doing a great job and the challenges they are facing are often very normal. Most importantly..they aren't alone.

Such was just the case with this beautiful young family. So much so, that during my gentle guidance and reassurance, mom and dad had a flood of emotions take over. Let me tell you it was so heart warming to see! Pure love and emotion at it's finest. Yes new parents are exhausted but when they finally pause, and take a step back to see what they have created it's pretty awesome to see their natural reactions. Hormones and all lol. Even more so when it hit's new dad's!!

Model Call LSK: Oshawa Child Photographer

Oshawa_Whitby_LSK_Petra_King_Photography_ModelCall

So last month I had the opportunity to work with a totally cool, rad and local small business. Meet LSK ( Love Squared Kids). This busy mama of 2 creates hats for any age that are stylish, practical and an amazing quality all handmade. You may have seen her at some local markets and pop ups all over Durham Region and the GTA. We placed a call out for a few models needed for a Brand Rep shoot. The response BLEW our minds. We had close to 140 entries. Talk about totally flattered and feeling the love! Thank you to everyone who reached out, sent us photos of your beautiful children. Needless to say it was a TOUGH decision! If we had time ya'll would have kept us working for weeks lol!!! Below are those that joined us for both rounds of our shoot. We thought you'd like to see some of our Brand Rep Shots from those dates.

I mean come on right? Check these kids out!!!

This was round one of our Model Call. These kids killed it and were sooooo natural it was unreal. Tude, giggles, swag, stylin and just being themselves. It's what it's all about.

I just love photographing children. Not only do they challenge you as an artist, but the interaction and personality you build with them pushes you to really capture their true spirits. Telling their story through the emotions and feelings they omit. While styling these uber cool beanies and hats flawlessly.

Thanks Love Squared Kids for this opportunity and to all the mom's and dad's who came out to join us for these events. You can find more mof LSK's work and products online over at: Love Squared Kids and here on Instagram! Drop her a line and let her know I sent you!
