We've been published! Oshawa_Toronto_Durham Region_Maternity

We have been waiting quite some time to finally announce this amazing news with you all! While we have been in the throws of our busy season over here we are finally getting caught up with posting sessions (I have OCD and post in order lol)

We have already shared a few posts on this amazing shoot that we held back in March but today we are sharing the awesome and humbling news of being published. This was an intense labor of love and one heck of a collaboration with a dozen amazing businesses and sponsors but we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of them. Not to mention our favourite studio space west of PKP…Mint Room Studios in Toronto! My right hand gal and Wedding Florist Extraordinarie Lisa from Aspen Florist was there every step of the way helping to bring this vision to life with her gorgeous fresh flowers and team. We are forever grateful and in awe of how creative she is, not to mention the attention to detail and customer service that she prides herself in. Thank you Lisa…I love you so much girl!

We honoured International Women’s Day this year with elegance and grace with an Ultimate Maternity Event. To celebrate all things motherhood and beauty as every mom to be deserves. This was a once in a lifetime photoshoot for our lucky mom’s to be that was quite the showstopper with an abundance of gorgeous fresh flowers, catering, hair and makeup, wardrobe and gifts for mom to take home. Check out more from our shoot below.

Our friends over at Mint Room Studio’s couldn’t have said it better when they shared our photoshoot. You can read more about it HERE.

Here is a little sneak peak at what we got up to that day….

Special thanks to Kath Films for hanging out with us too! Cheers girl..we love you!

Would you look at these flowers…I can’t tell you how stunning they were and the smell that filled the Ballroom at Mint Room Studios was heavenly! Months after we are still raving about them! Lisa you are AMAZING and so talented. Our mamas and team adored every last detail!

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!

I can’t express how much I love seeing my repeat families grow! You guys are too cute! Congratulations to you and yes you are doing an amazing job! Mama to mama I get it! I know what you are going through and remember the hard days. Heck…I have 2 teenagers who am I kidding…it’s still hard some days LOL. But that said, the GOOD days far out weigh the crappy ones.

Thank you I & D for bringing your sweet girls in for their milestones and for allowing me to capture these moments for you and your family! I can’t wait to see them grow!

6 Months a Family: Oshawa_Ajax_Toronto_Baby_Milestone_Photographer_Petra_King_Photography

Morning!

It’s early..like super early. I woke at 3:45am. Body tired and brain racing. So rather than toss and turn and get annoyed with myself here I am. LOL…I know. I know! Some of you would be like…you are insane woman go back to bed. Part of being an entrepreneur is that I find I work at such odd hours but in all honesty I don’t mind. It’s quiet. Just the sound of my thoughts racing and the keyboard.

So jumping right into my next blog entry for you I would like to introduce a sweet little 6 month old and her doting new parents. Meet Leila! Her mama has been following for the better part of the last year and couldn’t wait to come into the studio for her daughters milestone session. Due to some commitments she wasn’t able to come in earlier but I just adored her excitement the day of. Seriously…it’s so humbling and cute to watch new parents enter the studio with expectations high and adrenaline running strong.

Aspen Florist designed some gorgeous florals for us to use that day and mom was totally blown away. Not only was it a coincidence that these blooms were her favourite but the arrangement and colour scheme that morning were on point! Here’s a few memories of what we captured that day!

Aren’t they gorgeous? This sweet young new little family were so much fun to work with. Not to mention little Leila was in a good mood too! Can’t wait to document her grow!

See Dad’s…it’s not that hard now is it? And you think you can’t take a nice picture? Let me show you otherwise…moments like these you’ll be proud to hang up your stunning photographs in your home!

N & B…wishing you all the best with your move into your new home! Have fun and see you soon.

Much love…from one tired (but happy) mama to another!

Happy Tuesday :)
