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!

Maci's 1st Birthday_OshawaBabyPhotographer_PetraKingPhotography
Celebrating 1st Birthday’s in style is sweet!
A Summer Cake smash session wouldn’t be the same without strawberries right? Would you look at this stunning cake combination? Okay..so now that you have started to drool, scroll down and check out the sweetest baby girl who had the pleasure of enjoying this gorgeous masterpiece.
Do you remember Maci from our cradle sessions earlier this past year? You know..the one that stole our hearts with her cheeky tongue HERE? She turned ONE way too fast. But oh my word… we had so much fun for her session.
Maci is the rare gem that has an expression for everything. Sass, sweetness and character shines strong with this one. I LOVE every minute of our sessions too! She keeps us on our toes (Bless her beautiful mama lol)
Planning sessions with my clients to make sure every last detail is covered is part of the service we pride ourselves in. Topics like a colour scheme, theme (if any) and overall goal of the sessions are discussed during our consults. Creating memories that will be a part of a family
We did a fun cake smash session and ended with a strawberry milk bath. A first for the studio but I am sure she had a tummy full of berries by the time she left.
Happy 1st Birthday Maci! We love you berry much (sorry had to do it)
We know that we will see you again real soon.

Ramona's Milk Bath Session_ OshawaBabyPhotographer_PetraKing
Oh sweet Ramona! We have had so much fun photographing you over this past year. This Milk bath session was no exception. You know, when we plan for a Milk Bath session I often ask mom and dad what their vision is. Ramona’s session was planned out months ahead of time and included the ever talented Aspen Florist. Let me tell you…it was gorgeous!! I am always SO excited to work alongside some of our favourite local small businesses.
Making beautiful moments and celebrating in style and elegance is so much fun. Just look at how things turned out! I am sure you will agree…
All of our studio portrait sessions are an experience. It is not just about the photographs. It goes beyond celebrating this milestone for you and your family. It’s about how we make you feel during and long after, that accompanied with your gorgeous photographs is something pretty spectacular.
When working with our littles any new envoirnment is overwhelming for them. Just like you and I, no baby is the same. Some adapt right away, some cling to mama and some clearly let you know right from the beginning that they just don’t want to be there. This is why it’s so important for me to make baby (and of course mom) comfortable, safe and relaxed.
In doing so I always start with warming up to babe first. Then gradually move into our classic portraits (if the session is cake smash or milk bath) You can see here that this plan worked perfectly for Ramona ;)
Of course we stop for breaks too!
Helping hands…they say it takes a village right? Well mom and dad both kicking in to assist where needed. This my friends is and always what it’s about. Love, care, attention to detail and making memories at every stage of our session.
The image above was taken just 4 frames before the end of our session when she had enough. Little did we know she would have cut a molar later that day. Bless your heart Ramona, you were a trooper lol.
Till next time…

6 Months Old: OshawaBabyPhotographer_PetraKing
I have had the utmost pleasure of photographing Baby Ramona since she was a Newborn. She was one of my last newborns in studio before I retired from newborn photography. So to have had the honour of not only watching, but also documenting her growth this past year has been pretty incredible.
Lockdown was hard. Hard on our families, stress for months and then there was missing out on milestones of our PKP family too. When we had the all clear, we took our session outdoors. I can’t tell you how good it was to get back to shooting (masked and social distanced of course)
Mama reached out to have some 6 month photos of her earlier this summer and so we took her outside to do a vintage themed session that we both fell in love with.
Check out some of our session below.
Her moody, expression here just drew me in. The curiosity and innocence of babies at this age never fails. I love photographing them just being themselves. Often times these are the “million dollar shots” that mom and dad adore most.
I am a sucker for baby feet. Ramona had her little toes hanging out of the crib and dangling as she took in the hot summer morning and all the surroundings. Perfect photo op for me :)
Goodness I love this smile…
And of course the bluest of blues for her eyes…
Till next time Ramona!

Brand Ambassador Beckett- 6th Month Milestone
Beckett you are such an awesome natured little guy. You are always smiling, or inquisitive and so darn cute!
We love watching you grow and your Milestone Sessions have been so much fun! I can’t believe it has been 6 months already! Where has the time gone?
We scheduled Beckett’s 6 month session and had a lot of fun. While he’s working hard to sit up unassisted he’s still kinda wobbly. And this is pretty normal. As a matter of fact, on rare occasions so I encounter little ones who do at 6 months. Working that core is hard work ya know! LOL.
Regardless, we still had a ton of fun and boy does he ever have eyes for mama. It’s adorable! Check him out!
Here he is showing off his new skills and tricks…
Cutie right?…Wait till you see the loving's he has for his beautiful mama….
Till next time Beckett…keep on rocking’ little guy!
Schedule your baby’s milestone sessions today! Time for by fast and space fills quickly. Inquire on the details and what’s next HERE. I can’t wait to capture some footage and document your little squish with you!
See you soon!

Oshawa_Whitby_Toronto_Baby_Studio_PetraKingPhotography
This sweet curly haired beaut has just been promoted to Big Sis! I have had the pleasure of watching her grow for the last 2 years. She, along with her sweet parents brought in her little baby brother for his milestone portrait recently and did we ever have an amazing session.
For those of you who have yet to experience what an event, newborn, baby & or maternity session is like in and out of studio I’d like to share with you a little about how things flow. PKP takes great pride in making you feel your best and excited to capture your most precious moments for you. You know..the ones that just HAVE to be documented professionally. The moments that matter to YOU and coincidentally to me too!
Meet Immaneul. He was 12 days new when we did his newborn portraits. Big sister, as you can tell is smitten with him.
As with any session, our goal is to make sure that you are comfortable, excited and well informed. When all these three details come together everything else flows naturally. When working with me you’ll know that I am relatively soft spoken. Gentle guidance is given but most of these amazing memorable moments come from you. I just love having the honour to document them for you. So come with an open mind, a calm heart and place your trust in me…knowing that I have something beautiful in store for you!

Thank you buddy, for gracing the studio with your calm, happy, serene nature and for allowing me to document this for your family heirloom albums. I can’t wait to watch you grow and welcome you back in for your upcoming milestone sessions. Mom, Dad and big sister S…enjoy him while he’s this little.
Tender moments, baby led, and perfect. Moments like these you will hold dear to your heart for a lifetime.
I can’t wait to create and see your beauty unfold through my lens.
Till next time Immaneul. Stay sweet and innocent.
