We are Back Baby!- Studio Opened For Business.
Hey friends,
Wow…who knew that 2020 was going to turn out like this right? All I can say is I hope you and your family are well and staying safe. What a state the world is in for us and such crazy times. Meanwhile, one of the things keeping me happy these days is YOU. Being able to work again and do what I love, to reconnect and celebrate your milestones is awesome.
We have been working to keep up with all our reschedules, and welcoming new clients and friends to the PKP family too. It’s been amazing. However…it’s left little time for blogging so I apologize for the gap :)
So let’s just jump right back into it shall we?
Here is one of our recent’s in studio. This beautiful couple were so calm and connected with one another.
Preparing for a maternity session can seem so overwhelming. Knowing that you want to capture this special time in your life but also knowing that you want to look your very best at a time when you may not feel the greatest. At PKP we help you every step of the way. From wardrobe consults, to styling, our Hair and Makeup Team does a fabulous job as seen here with this gorgeous mama. We work with Priceless Beauty (@pricelessbeautygram) as seen on Instagram and our mom’s LOVE being pampered. The flawlessness and attention to detail matters and our mom’s simply GLOW.
Feel free to reach out for more information on how you can add Hair & Makeup to your maternity session. We promise you will love every single minute.
We can’t wait to meet you and baby bump!

Baby Girl on the way: Oshawa_Durham Region_Maternity_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
Shhh..he’s listening for his little sister in there… I know…all the feels.
Meet Nolan…this gorgeous little guy came into the studio with his beautiful mom and dad for some maternity portraits and oh my goodness did we ever have fun. This beautiful young couple are expecting a baby girl on the way and are sooo excited!
Maternity sessions with families in studio are always fun filled, sweet and unposed. We go with the flow most days. Interacting with toddlers once they are comfortable gives them time to trust you and to know that despite being somewhere new…its fun for them as well as for mom and dad. As you can see here…Nolan had a great time too.
Wishing you a happy and healthy remainder of your pregnancy mama. You have an adorable little family and I can’t wait to hear when she arrives.
Stay tuned for more from the studio as we get caught up on a busy amazing summer!
Floral Maternity: OshawaMotherhoodGlimpse
Motherhood…
Seldom do we associate motherhood with all things beauty for ourselves. It is so easy to get caught up and feel overwhelmed with things to do, places to be present for our own wants and needs. When you are expecting a baby you begin to understand this more than ever. Life is busy. We get it.
However….pausing that life button to take time out for yourself is ever more important these days. To recognize that you deserve it too and this is exactly what this gorgeous mama did recently. In fact…she brought her adorable new hubby in too to join in on the fun.
Meet Erin and Mark. This sweet young couple are brides of Aspen Florist and when they found out they were expecting their first child Erin knew that she wanted to work with us. We are beyond grateful and thrilled for them and these stunning memories we created together. Take a look for yourself…they rocked it right?
We had the BEST time in studio creating these memories for mom and dad to be and we can NOT wait to hear the news of their little baby very soon. Erin..Mark…thank you for choosing Petra King Photography and Aspen Florist for allowing us to document this milestone for you.
If you are interested in booking a Floral Maternity Session for yourself or to Gift to a beautiful new mom we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us or reach out to the studio.
We can’t wait to document this blessing of a milestone in your lives!
Till next time…much love,
P
Full Circle: Oshawa_Maternity_Baby_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
Throwing it back to 2 years ago when this beautiful mom walked into the studio for her maternity session. We have come full circle now. Shy, quiet and admitting she has no idea what to do. She placed all her trust in me and said let’s do this. ;). As with all my sessions, we get to know you. We chat, we laugh and making you feel comfortable even if we end up chatting longer than expected. She was also one of my first maternity clients in the new studio space.
The above image was one that was in the moment. Often times you’ll find that I get into a zone and on a whim will say k…I have an idea lol. The mood, lighting and calmness of our session called for some texture and grounding. Resulting in this simplistic and natural image.
Mom and Dad came back into studio once the arrival of their first child was born. Sweet Sophie.
And now jumping forward to present day, mom emailed with some amazing news that they were expecting the arrival of their 2nd. This time we had the whole family in and the resulting memories are oh so adorable…wouldn’t you agree?
Stay tuned for their newborn session coming soon! I can’t wait to share it with you.
Creating beautiful memories for you and your growing family is something that I LOVE to do. Have questions? Let’s chat…feel free to email the studio today.
See you soon…
Petra

Think Pink! A Fun Maternity Shoot: Oshawa,Toronto, Bowmanville,Petra King Photography
I LOVE working with maternity clients. By now you have figured that out right? LOL
This next shoot was not only a maternity shoot but a FUN maternity shoot from start to finish.
And why YES we have been doing a lot of them lately. It’s been amazing to be able to create and work with such unique mom’s to be that put their trust in not only myself but Aspen Florist too so that we can deliver above and beyond expectations for them. We wanted to do another styled event in studio and worked with a bunch of amazing local businesses to collaborate on this to share with you what we are all about. You are unique and so should be your sessions.
So we did just that!
I mean…pssht.. ya! Like no words right? OMG do we ever have FUN with our mamas! LOL. And…might I add that this was a total coiniky-dink (if that’s even such a word) that mom’s hair matched the roses bang on! I legit squealed lol. Ha! Might I just add that she is also a Canadian Colourist of the Year 2018/2019! How cool! Then again I am a sucker for a beautiful mama and a killer sleeve too! To some of you it may not be your thing but we totally loved it!
A giant shoutout all of our amazing businesses that helped with this session! So without further ado..in no particular order here we go:
Thanks everyone! We had a BLAST! Mama is due in August…stay tuned for more in the near future. All the best V! You rocked this shoot!
Ultimate Maternity Session: Toronto_Oshawa_Maternity_Event_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography
So what if I told you that we held an event for expecting moms back in March that was “thee” Ultimate Maternity Session? What if I also told you that it was more than any of us imagined?
If you are a regular around here you will have remembered seeing my posts, hype and sneak peaks for this magical shoot. But then we kinda went dark about things… well there was a reason for that. I mean, after the buzz and sneaks via our Highlights on Instagram, the thank you’s to everyone involved both on and offline, business carries on. BUT…we knew it would take some time post production for everything to come together. The reason behind the wait is that we have been waiting for some footage to share with you as well as being published. If you are a photographer or work in editorial/media world, you will know that these things take time. To the general public most of us don’t understand how things work for publishing. Submitting your work to various companies is exciting and scary and can take a LONG time. I have always be one to let my work speak for itself, continuous learning and bettering oneself. My work, and passion for my business has never taken the “me first attitude…look what I did etc etc…” That’s just not who I am. On the other hand, I am well aware that you need to step up and own your business.. To share WHY you are different and what you offer and most importantly HOW you make people feel.
All that said… I am beyond thrilled to be able to finally share with you just what the heck transpired that day. LOL.. THANK YOU so much for your patience, for your messages and curiosity and congratulations!!! It’s been an amazing ride so far and I could NOT have made any of this possible if it was not for my amazing team and sponsors. More so my right hand girl, Lisa at Aspen Florist for being there from day one, right through till the last hour driving home. Thank you as well to Melanie for being there to assist too!
Our Ultimate Maternity Shoot was held down at Mint Room Studios in Toronto. Here is a little of what we got up to that day. Enjoy!
Sound ON….
A huge thank you to Kath Films for capturing everything for us that day. Event planning and organization is a lot of work. Deadlines, agenda’s, workflow, sequencing, technical, set up, tear down, transport, catering, audio, video, lighting, wardrobe changes, hair and makeup, floral arrangements, and a whole lot of muscle when you are a one woman show to set up on site lol! I am pretty sure I forgot a bunch of stuff in there too but you get the point. :) I’d do it all over again in heartbeat!
Here is a gallery snippet of some of the photographs we created that day!
Not all moms were able to share images online but we are happy to share these with you all….
Last but not least, I would like to send a HUGE thanks to all of our amazing sponsors and supporters who were not only generous with their products/services but with their time and platforms to help spread word for us.
In no particular order:
Southern Charm Vintage Rentals
OF course…Thank you to our gorgeous mama’s that came in to experience this amazing event. Best of luck with your journey into motherhood and a huge congrats on the arrivals of your little one’s!!!
