Xavier- Brand Ambassador 2021
You’ve probably seen me posting this sweet little guy around social media over the last 5 months or so. That’s because he is our newest Brand Ambassador.
And yes….he’s sooooo stinking cute. I swear I am so lucky to work with such amazing families and the best babies ever!
I just can’t with his adorable little features. Definitely a future ladies man lol.
Xavier you are full of fun and expressions. I can’t wait till our next milestone session together real soon!
Keep your eyes out for this little guy and join us as I document his journey and new skills learned as he grows.
Thank you so much and see you soon Xav

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!
Brand Ambassador Graduation
Bittersweet comes to mind with this posting. Our sweet Maci has graduated from our Brand Ambassador program and we had so much fun over the year and a half documenting her.
Holy cow has she ever grown since the first day I met her. Here is a shot from her newborn session (back when I still offered this service)
Maci was documented from a newborn right up until she was just about 2 years old. A huge and special shoutout to her sweet mom and dad (and doting big brother) for allowing me to do so. For the time we spent making memories and all the laughter in between. It truly has been an honour. You have filled my cup in more ways than you will ever know.
Our last session was kept classic and documented her personality. As always…she nailed it. Enjoy x
Such a sweet and classic session with this little one. Cheerios make everything better right? Maci, we will miss you but know it won’t be the last time you will be in front of our camera. Thank you for being a Brand Ambassador for PKP. You will be missed. Keep shining sweetheart.
A First Birthday Beauty
First Birthday’s in the studio are so much fun! Whether you are new to the studio or have been with us on a PKP journey I welcome you!
Meet Laila! She came into the studio last fall to celebrate the big O-N-E! And man oh man did we have fun with her.
Here are a few of my favourites from our session…
She got right into it…in fact we have some shots of her with icing everywhere and a raspberry stained dress lol (don’t worry I sprayed it for mom before she left)
She clearly LOVED every minute of it and couldn’t wait to dive right in. No wonder with this beautiful cake from Sweetery.ca!
As with all our Baby Milestone sessions, we make sure to grab some Classic shots prior to the cake portion of the session. Scroll through to see how quickly babies expressions change…too sweet!
If you are thinking about planning a session to celebrate your little one’s upcoming milestones please reach out to the studio 3 months in advance to avoid disappointment. We do sell out quickly and I would hate to miss out on documenting for you.
Feel free to email me or fill out your inquiry here!
I can’t wait to meet you and your little one…
Much love,
Petra
Rosie turns one_OshawaBabyStudio_PetraKing
Oh Rosie…
I often wonder when babies come into the studio with mom what goes through their little minds. You too? I mean some of the expressions they give you are priceless.
Rosie’s 1st Birthday Portraits
See what I mean? This expression though…lol
My cake smash sessions always start with some classic portraits. I do this for 2 reasons:
Mom and Dad get to cherish some timeless professional portraits before we jump into the cake fun.
This gives baby time to “warm” up with me, and become get familiar with new surroundings.
Sweet sweet Rosie was a gem to photograph and absolutely loved hanging out in the studio. She played with some toys and loved playing peek a boo too.
Gorgeous cake provided by Sweetery.ca and the best in florals from Aspen Florist.
Rosie had an awesome time. Brief tears as all. We loved having her celebrate with us in studio and we can’t wait to do the same for you!
If you are thinking of planning your little ones milestone session, contact the studio. We can’t wait to plan ahead and welcome you into the studio for some priceless memories.
Till next time, stay healthy and much love,
Petra
Liam's 1st Birthday_ OshawaBabyStudio_PetraKingPhotography
Its a whole lot of Birthday’s lately and we love welcoming back our littles to see how much they have grown.
Meet Liam! Mom and Dad came from Toronto for his newborn session which was the sweetest. Since then most of you know I have retired from Newborn Photography after 14 years in that niche. While I still love newborns I have made way for other areas in the business.
Thankful and grateful for all that has helped me grow into today and oh so blessed to get to celebrate little ones like Liam too!
Liam sure does love his beautiful mom. She was right down on the floor with him to encourage him in his new temporary surroundings. Often times I do have moms within arms reach for this reason. The second reason is so that I can step back and document those moments that you have hired me to do so ;)
Now with fair warning, not all sessions go as smooth as you intend them too. And this is OK! It’s completely normal. While we do try our best and are patient, some little ones just have a hard time adjusting to new spaces (especially since being cooped up in the house thanks to COVID)
So mom and I decided to crank his fav tunes and see how he reacted. The last 2 images are thanks to “Old Town Road”…
You are welcome lol. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday Buds…thank you so much for celebrating with some classic portraits! We LOVED seeing how much you have grown this past year!
Stay healthy and hope to see you in the near future.
