Little 5 day old baby boy

Photographing little newborn babies is something that I am completely honored to do.  With every new family I journey with each is unique and beautiful in their own way. What a blessing to get to know them, to listen to how the met, their history and hear their future plans.  I LOVE welcoming a newborn into the world and am humbled every time a newborn comes into the studio.  This next young adorable family hung out with me earlier this week. It was awesome to see how relaxed and comfortable they were as I worked with their new son. Meet Charlie!  What an adorable 5 day old.  Not a peep out of him till the very end!  Charlie was so alert and curious at the beginning of our session however after a full tummy and dry bottom, the rest was magical.  These little people really are the boss. As mentioned many times before, being a mom helps and you go by their lead.  Patience is key when photographing newborns!

He enjoyed the session too see...

He was the most curious 5 day old I have ever photographed!  Soo cute...had to throw this one in there mom :)

This last photograph is pretty special. This blanket is 66 years old.  A true family heirloom on Dad's side.  Dad, Grandpa and many other's

were brought home from the hospital wrapped up in this. Something to cherish for years to come!

 

Kristy, Bryan thank you for allowing me to capture Charlie for you. What a blessing!  Enjoy him, they grow so fast and I'll see you real soon!

Love,

P

Baby Plan: 3 month old Baby Girl

It's no lie, babies grow oh so fast! Especially the first 3 months!  Don't feel alone if you are still sleep deprived.  Your baby will soon start to fall into a better sleep routine pattern and go for longer stretches. That said, this little puddin' was sure fighting sleep during her Sweet Baby Plan session in studio earlier this week ;)  You may remember seeing her newborn photography session back in November.  You can view her session HERE. Oh baby look at you now!  Wriggling, cooing,giggling and a ton of curious expressions. You took everything in.

New baby girl lights up the studio

There is just something about a newborn isn't there?  No matter how many times I do a newborn session it never ceases to amaze me.  The itty bitty features, the lashes, tiny nails, fingers, chubby arms, belly buttons, toes and let's not forget the hair! OH the hair! LOL..too adorable.  My father in law would be jealous lol.   When you choose Petra King Photography for a Professional Custom Photography Newborn Session all these amazing details become MY focus. Whether this baby is your first,second or third you will be inundated with emotions, lack of sleep and yes overwhelmed at times too. Rest assured that you are not alone!  Everyone goes through some degree of this. It's ONLY natural. So while you are wrapped up in all the above mentioned, allow me to capture the little miracles that life blesses us with!

There are also a TON of websites online to help us cope. Here are just 2 for you to check out!:

Parentsource.ca  and The Complete Baby & Toddler. Remember to breath and take one day at a time!

A repeat client of mine and a gorgeous mama herself just had her 3rd baby. Meet Alyssa at 8 days! Oh what a pleasure to work with.  Rachel, thanks so much for spending your morning with me in studio and for all the laughs we had. I LOVE the connections I have with my clients. Pure awesome!

Natural Light Newborns:: On the flip side

I would have to say that 99.9% of my newborn photography is with studio lighting.  However there are times when natural lighting sessions are done. Equally beautiful and just as unique for the new parents, newborn sessions really are hands down the most precious way to celebrate your little ones arrival.

 

 

 

Expecting or know someone who is? Contact me today for more info on how to book a Maternity Session OR a Newborn Session.  Maternity sessions on location are SO much fun.  Just take a look at a recent one with a stunning mama found HERE.
