Sun Flares and Family: Petrik Family Glimpse

Family is everything….

This beautiful family I have the honour of calling mine. Meet my sister Danielle and her husband Andrei. Danielle is the talented owner of Danielle Petrik Sweetery. If you have yet to enjoy her baked goods and ridiculously addictive sugar cookies you got to hit her up for some. ;)

Danielle is no stranger to the PKP Family. She has been baking for years for all of our Studio Milestone sessions and events.

Her crazy fun and gorgeous girls and I had a lot of fun during our shoot. I think mom and dad did too…. We missed one, my nephew was unable to make it but we will make a point of doing this again for 2022. It is LONG overdue.

Crazy how I document hundreds of families and milestones but when it comes to my own, I always seem to miss the boat with timing. This year we have made it our priority. So stay tuned.

Family sessions are little adventures. Often times mom and dad are stressing. It’s natural I get it, you spend a lot of time planning, purchasing new outfits, investing in your photography session. Trust the process. Trust your photographer, be yourself and enjoy the moment. All will come together. This I promise you.

Your portraits although skillfully documented with gentle guidance are loved and cherished when you are have fun.

Thank you Danielle & Andrei for allowing me to capture your beautiful family and share in the memories that I will hold near and dear for a lifetime.

Much love,

Petra

The most gorgeous children. Individual portraits are a must during a Family session. Loved how these came out.

And yes, I am a sucker for a rich black and white.

Enjoy!

Family is everything: Erin's session glimpse

Journeying with this family has been one of the amazing highlights of my Business over the last 4 years. I met Erin way back with she was expecting sweet Etta and we held her maternity session in studio with the talented Lisa from Aspen Florist. You may remember it here.

Fast forward to multiple milestones later, it was time to create some as a Family. And well hello…. they KILLED it with a Golden Hour session. Check it out…

I know right….her expression here kills me. You can almost hear her going eeeeeeewww! LOL!

This whole session has so many gorgeous moments, memories and captures. It’s going to be an overshare for sure but I can’t not. Enjoy…

Mark, Erin & Etta, thank you for your love, support, laughter, fun and passion for creating memories that matter most to you over the last 4 years. I am so in love with this session and I know you are too. Thank you so much you guys are the best!

Annual Growth: D'Onofrio Family Glimpse

Meet Fran and Mike. I have had the utmost pleasure of knowing this gorgeous family for the last 5 years. During this time I have watched their adorable children grow along with Fran’s business The Hungry Homemaker Blog.

Fran’s values are catered around her family, and so every year she tries her best to update her family photo’s and to create new memories with her children. As a Photographer this is one of the highlights of my job. Documenting and growing with clients and friends.

When planning Family Portraits outdoors we take into consideration the time of year. Our location and of course your family’s style. We also plan for what your goal is after your photoshoot is complete. Are you planning on gifting your portraits? Keeping them for keepsakes? A little of both?

Fran’s colour palette was bang on for our session together. Planning your family portrait session doesn’t need to be overwhelming. That ‘s what I am here for. To guide and offer my expertise every step of the way so it is a fun and smooth process. Leaving you with stunning portraits for you and your family to cherish.

Flynn and Family

Do you guys remember little Flynn? He came in when he was a wee babe with his mama. She wanted to capture him before he grew any older. He was stinking cute then and is still stinking cute.

Mom reached out to book a Fall Family session with me and we hopped in the car to meet up. The colours this week were amazing.

Sessions with toddlers are never dull. A ton of fun, lots of laughs, some up and downs and a ball of energy.

We ended our session like this….

OshawaFloralBabySession

Would you look at these STUNNING David Austin Wedding Roses from Aspen Florist. Julianna reached out to the studio to book our David Austin Baby Package with Aspen Florist to celebrate the arrival of her 2nd daughter.

This sweet little lady joined the S. Family and busy, excited big sister. Mom and Dad named her to most sweetest old soul and sentimental name…Delilah Jaye.

Miss. Delilah…you are so loved. Your big sister is a ball of energy and can’t wait till you are old enough to run around and play. Until then, welcome to the family sweetie. Your Uncle Jaye would have adored you so.

Special thanks to Mom, Dad and Lisa for this gorgeous Floral Baby session. We can’t wait to watch you grow and see you back in the studio soon.

Much love,

P
