Creating calm Baby Milestone Sessions: Oshawa Baby Photography Studio
Hey mama,
Hope you’ve had a great week so far? Does anyone else feel like time is flying by but yet winter is still dragging on? Missing the sunshine desperately and I’d be lying if I didn’t do a little dance every time it pops out haaa. Although one way I’ve been keeping my mood and emotions in check is with a lot of support from Young Living. A lot of deep inhaling has been going on these days… :) If you’ve been here for a while you know that I started sharing YL to our Motherhood session and everyday life. It’s part of our daily routine around here, nothing new. But something I knew YOU and your littles would love to learn about too.

Speaking of scents, one of my fav’s to use with Baby Milestone sessions is Lavender. Calming, soothing, relaxes fussy or anxious babies (and nervous moms) It’s usually in the diffuser in studio and I like to wear a little too. It helps create an environment that everyone enjoys being in.
Plus…happy baby, happy mama = happy photographer :)
3 Cool Tips about scents you may not know:
Did you know that smell has the ability to bring back memories.
Keeps us present and grounded
and
Helps shift perspectives and brings greater awareness to our needs.
Pretty cool right? I am sure you’ve experienced that many a times in your life.
Have you ever experienced lavender? Real lavender? It’s such a complex beautiful smell. One of my bucket list’s is to travel to France and experience a Lavender farm. Another fun fact…Lavender is considered the Swiss Army of oils. Which is pretty fascinating knowing that this super oil helps you and your family in so many ways.
Sleep, healing, great for the skin, digestion and of course soothes the mind, body and soul. Just to name a few things it helps support the body with.
You and your baby’s experience in the studio matter to me. Helping to calm the nerves with you both so you are excited to create memories is what we pride ourselves in. Come in for the portraits and memories, stay a little for a serene experience that will fill your senses and heart.
If you have any questions about Lavender, 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.

As always, here if you have questions or just come for the pretty pictures. That's ok too :)

All Natural Motherhood & Baby Studio: Oshawa Maternity & Baby Low Tox Living Photography Studio
Being a new mom is pretty scary and overwhelming at times right? I mean, there is so much information thrown at you from day one and everyone and they're Auntie has some words of wisdom (or old wives tales) for you. Hee hee. And let’s not get started at the fake news online.

I’ll tell you one thing about Motherhood that isn’t scary though. Knowing you aren’t alone. Having a community of friends and family that you can trust and that genuinely care about you. Finding you tribe, person or people (whatever that looks like) is something we all need. We are social creatures and let’s face it. Life is so much better when you have a support system in place. Sharing what works, swapping recipes, going out for coffee/tea dates it’s the health, mental and wellness you and your family need. Because let me tell you, that first year goes by so fast!
When it comes to our children (and our own wellbeing) we only want the best. Making little improvements everyday to live a better, healthier quality of life is something I am very passionate about. Just like when I say you are welcomed into the studio, you are my family. I take care of you while you are here as if you were my own. If you’ve had a session with me you’ll know that rings true ;)
Before your arrive at the studio I run through a routine that I’ve been doing for years. Starting with a deep clean, removing all items from the studio. Floors are first, I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. It’s all natural, plant based, ultra concentrated and non abrasive. I use it on all floors and surfaces, change table, high chair, door handles, toys etc. All throughout my home. No residue, no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals and safe for children and pets too. Plus it smells heavenly, which aids in knowing that your experience is healthy, beautiful and welcoming for you and your little ones.
It gives me peace of mind as a mother and business owner that I am giving you the best service and experience you deserve. Low Toxic Living doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul overnight. It’s making small changes to work towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. I’ve been using Young Living daily for the last 10 years and absolutely it. I share what works not only for me and my family, but because I know you and your family will love it too!
Are you curious or ready to try Theives Household Cleaner on your own? It’s pretty simple and not complicated at all (who has time for that) follow this link and you can try for yourself and take advantage of the wholesale prices (24% discount). It’s that easy…plus your free membership means you’ll be attached me to. Think of it like a Costco Membership (but FREE!)
There is zero fuss, nothing is locked in when you become a member. You can come and go if you’d like. But I have a feeling you will love this new cleaner way of cleaning your home and or work environment too!
As always, I am just a text or DM away. You can always, email me too. Reach out and let’s chat if you have questions, about anything.
Serving you Motherhood and Milestones with a whole lotta love :)

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.

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.

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”
It is “I” that’s the lucky one.

Baby Paxton
This sweet little boy came into the studio with mom and dad after we were unable to have our maternity session done on multiple dates. But as the saying goes, things happen for a reason. For this beautiful mama and her boys, it was such an emotional session.
Absolutely love this image of Paxton and Daddy…
Earlier that year Paxton lost his grandfather suddenly and like any loss in the family, it hits you hard. So in honour of him, we dedicated this session in his memory and I know he would have been so touched and proud.
As your family grows, we remember. We celebrate life. As it is right now, and for those that have gone before us. Document these memories with gorgeous portraits that your own family can cherish and pass down from generations to come.
I mean…just look at this little face. How cool will it be for his OWN children to see him at this stage?
Thank you D & C for celebrating and remembering Grandpa. I know he is looking down from heaven with adoration and pride.
Mother's Day Motherhood Minis
More than ever, 2021 proved to us that time is precious and memories and moments must be documented. Every year we hold a Motherhood event in the studio with our business partners Aspen Florist and Danielle Petrik Sweetery. PricelessBeauty also joined us and gave our mamas a little extra pampering for their session. Everyone looked stunning! This past year thanks to the Pandemic we had to push the date multiple times working around restrictions and lockdowns.
When we finally were able to conduct business in the the studio we were so excited. Here are some of the beauty we captured earlier this past year.
These STUNNING soft and oh so pretty fresh florals always make the studio feel so amazing. Everyone that came into the studio for their session gasped at their beauty. Thank you Lisa for another amazing set and successful event.
Mamas and babies are always near and dear to my heart but these gorgeous, strong and beautiful moms were simply glowing! Thank you so much for joining us this year and we can’t wait to see you and your adorable little ones in the studio again in the near future.
Thank you ladies…much love and your adorable babies. We had so much fun!
Till next year!
Petra & Team xo
