Oshawa Maternity Studio: Healthy Motherhood & Family Low Tox Living

Our Classic Maternity sessions are our most popular session with moms to be. Typically mom will come in by herself or with her husband/partner or SO. But every once in a while the whole family will join in on the celebration.

Our Classic Maternity sessions are our most popular session with moms to be. Typically mom will come in by herself or with her husband/partner or SO. But every once in a while the whole family will join in on the celebration.

And let me tell you, we have so much fun!

It fills my cup when young families come into the studio to celebrate important milestones with me. It’s such an honour! You’re experience, how I make you feel and the memories we document together really are the backbone of my business. And of course gorgeous timeless photographs for you and your loved ones to treasure.

One of the ways as a Business Owner I make this a staple of my service to you is ensuring you know that my home is healthy, cleans and welcoming for you and even your toughest critics.

Ever heard the saying mi Casa et su Casa? It’s true, I welcome you into my home and business studio as family. Kids and babies (and husbands too) quickly become at ease and comfortable. I’ve created a space that makes it easy for you to relax and be excited about our session. A HUGE part of this is peace of mind with how I clean my home and studio. My favourite and longtime love for Thieves Household Cleaner is hands down the best all natural and multipurpose go to product.

Young Living has over 600 products. Not just essential oils :) Their home cleaning products are the best and smell so amazing. Natural and clean, no harsh synthetic chemical scents/fragrances. You may have heard me talk about Thieves and the powerhouse oil/cleaner it is. Did you know that Thieves kills 99,96% of airborne germs and bacteria? Pretty impressive right?

If you have any questions about Thieves Oil/Household Cleaner, or maybe I’ve peaked your curiosity to try some yourself, feel free to email me anytime. I’d love to share more with you on the product/s I love using. I know that you and your family will too! Or if you are ready to experience some yourself just follow this link to for a FREE account. Low tox living and every day motherhood is a beautiful friendship :)


Petra King Photography’s studio celebrates Motherhood & Milestones in the Oshawa, Bowmanville, Courtice, Whitby, Durham Region, Toronto, GTA and surrounding areas. We are a Low Tox Living Family that uses Young Living for only the best products and essential oils. Healthy, Happy Families make the BEST memories together.

Amalia's Maternity Session: Toronto Oshawa Maternity Photographer

When I first connected with Amalia she informed me she was looking to capture her 2nd pregnancy with her little family. She also wanted to incorporate a sentimental outfit. So of course I couldn’t wait to see what this was. Amalia and her family came in from the west end of Toronto. Although they call Italy home, and are fairly new to Canada they are fitting and adjusting perfectly!

See those adorable overalls? They came all the way from Italy and Amaila’s mother wore them when she was expecting her. I mean…how cute is that? I LOVE when clients bring in a little piece of them and items that are sentimental. Call me old fashioned but it’s little details like this that really make your session that much more memorable.

Thank you Amalia and family. We had so much fun with our session and I can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio in the near future. All the best with your sweet baby girl! We can’t wait to hear of her arrival. xo

Ashley's Maternity Session Glimpse

Our next Maternity Mama featured on the Blog is Ashely. She reached out months ahead of time so that she could get the timing just right. She nailed it and it was such an honour to meet her. A huge thank you for driving from Brampton to come into the studio too! Your laughter and confidence is infectious.

Jacquelyn's Maternity Glimpse

Today is International Women’s Day. So it only seems fitting for me to share with you one of life’s many blessings… Women. She is powerful, inspirational and does so much for us all every single day. Today I share with you an adorable new mom to be. Meet Jacquelyn. This sweet beautiful lady came into the studio for her Maternity session. She booked Hair & Makeup for herself. We work with Meredith from Makeup with Mer and she comes onsite in the studio to pamper our mamas before we start our photoshoot.

Once hair and makeup is done, mama gets to choose from our client closet and play dress up to look and feel her best before we start celebrating with her portrait session.

Our Maternity sessions in studio are always so special. Each one unique in their own way. Yes of course, we are in the business to make you feel and look your best. To be comfortable and to LOVE the experience from start to finish. But it goes beyond that. How I make my clients, my moms to be, the new moms and moms who have experienced losses feel after a photo shoot will live with them forever. It takes a team with a vision. I couldn’t do it without my amazingly talented team behind me. I promise that a portrait session is one that you will love regardless of what stage you are at in life.

The world needs more more moms like you Jaquelyn. Your grace, confidence and presence was so powerful that you were glowing. Thank you for sharing that with me. Thank you for trusting me to capture such an important time in your life. I adore you and can’t wait to meet your little baby girl one dat soon.

Petra,
What can I say .. you and your work are absolutely astonishing. I loved every moment of my maternity session. Thank you a thousand times for making the photoshoot as amazing and comfortable as possible. Yourself and Mer made me feel so beautiful. The finished product turned out beautifully.
Thank you! I cannot wait to see you again
— Jacquelyn McConnach

It is “I” that’s the lucky one.

Claire & Michael's Maternity Session

The first meeting I have with new clients when welcoming them into the studio is always an exciting one. One that is typically filled with a handshake or a warm hug. Although current days put a damper on that each client knows that it is a genuine excited warm welcome and that I am grateful to be celebrating with them.

LOL…enter Claire & Michael. I LOVED their connection, humour and silliness. They “claimed” to not know what they were doing when in front of the camera. I’ll let you be the judge….

And can we talk about this beautiful mama to be for a hot minute. Claire, you are stunning girl.

Narm & Spencer-Couple Maternity Session: Toronto Oshawa Maternity Studio

Happy Wednesday! We ll here we are well into January 2022 and in the dead of winter lol. Here in Southern Ontario we have just had our biggest snowfall that I can remember for at least 8 years. So today’s ray of sunshine blog entry couldn’t have been more needed.

OshawaDurhamRegionMaternityCouple

These two ridiculously gorgeous people had a little baby boy on the way. Mom and Dad have since welcomed him to their family and he definitely inherited their good genes ;)

Mom borrowed gowns from our Client closet and each piece she chose paired perfectly with the session.

We have so many pretty photographs to share with you. The easiest way to do so is via a gallery. Let’s get to it shall we…

If you can’t tell by now, Spencer adores his wife Narm. He was so supportive and sweet throughout the session. I told him he raised the bar for all future dad’s to be lol. Long may that last! :)

and when I asked her to look at him…this was the resulting image.
