David Austin Wedding Roses: Baby Shoot of the Year!
We are beyond thrilled to announce that we have been featured as The Baby Shoot of the Year with
David Austin Wedding Roses. One of the most prestigious and respected Brands in the World! To say that we are humbled and still in shock is an understatement! We absolutely adore this family and were so excited to celebrate this milestone for our clients earlier this year.
You can read our feature HERE and learn more about some of our favourite STUNNING roses.
Rewind to almost 2 years ago when I met this beautiful mama. Who was awaiting her wedding day to her best friend at the gorgeous Elora Mill. She was so excited and I knew couldn’t wait to be a mom.
She has always been such an amazing supporter and had asked if I would do a maternity session for them come the time. Of course I said yes. ;)
Fast forward to when life threw us COVID and lockdowns. We had to postpone but I am so thrilled we got the opportunity to work together.
Introducing sweet baby Collins.
Collins was spoiled with only the best in roses from Aspen Florist. Lisa at Aspen Florist used the one and only David Austin Roses. I can’t tell you how INCREDIBLE these smelled. It was just gorgeous and this sweet little babes dainty personality was a match made in heaven.
We celebrated this little one with mom and dad in studio. Here are some of my favourite photographs we captured from that day.
Paige & Shayne, thank you for allowing me to come out of (newborn) retirement to capture this milestone for your sweet little family. She is an absolute doll and I know these beautiful memories will be a part of your family for decades to come.
Aspen Florist, thank YOU for working your magic once again. We simply can’t get enough!
Birthday Girl_Ramona turns one!
You have all followed along over the last year and a half as little Miss. Ramona grew. It all started back with her newborn session (prior to retirement) and we finished off her Baby Milestone package with a one year celebration.
Of course we went out in style with the most gorgeous fresh florals from Aspen Florist too! Did you even have to question that? ;)
I mean these gorgeous colours and that decadent cake right? The studio smelled heavenly with this perfect combination. All our cakes are provided by Sweetery.ca. Each cake is handmade with love from all natural ingredients and the most incredible detail for you and your little one.
Allow me to point out the hilarity of this session. Does your little one hate having dirty hands? One of mine did and one did not. See if you can spot the icing flick off the hands? Once she got the hang of things and realized it was yummy she went to town. We ended the session just 2 frames after she went knee deep in her cake. LOL…The BEST ever!
We mss you Ramona and can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio for your next session. Till then, keep on enjoying life and making us smile. We are forever grateful for you and have been so honoured to document you over the years. Thank you for being a part of the PKP Aspen Little Family.
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.

Baby Girl’s First Birthday: Oshawa Baby Studio Petra King Photography
Every now and then you get the opportunity to meet a wise, sweet and incredible little babe that just has you stop for a minute and watch as she takes in everything during her session. Don’t get me wrong, every baby is amazing and full of personality which I love photographing. However when I met Fenna…and “Chicken” she struck a chord with me that stayed with me for a while after. Fenna was in studio this past summer with her mama to celebrate her 1st Birthday Milestone with some clean, classic portraits.
Maybe it’s the innocence, maybe it’s the curiosity or inquisitiveness or just pure adorableness. Either way this sweet little girl stole the show and made me fall in love with her. I am a HUGE fan of the “European Style” and this little one nailed it. Thanks to her awesome mama!
It’s important to me when photographing your little ones that it’s done in a way of documenting them as is. I do so with minimalism so the focus remains on them. To me that’s most important. When looking back on your babies photographs at these important stages I want them to be timeless classics. Ones that never go out of style.
This adorable outfit is from one of our local makers Jardins Knit Co. You can find her beautiful work here.
The use of clean and classic (yet stylish) outfits for your baby during their milestone sessions should compliment your style, the feel of the photo and still have that emotional connection with mom and dad. Outfits are kept simple in studio for this reason alone. Leaving the rest to me (the photographer) to create a beautiful, fun and timeless experience that you will cherish for years to come.
Scheduling your baby’s milestone sessions is as easy as getting in contact with the studio. We typically do 6-8 months and 9-12 months. However, photographing your little one up to age 2 is always fun just in case you’ve missed out with previous milestones.
I’d love to chat with you and start planning. Contact me today and let’s create some magic for your family legacy!
